Ex-Najib aide released on bail
PUTRAJAYA: A magistrate’s court released on bail a former special officer to former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak held on remand over an investigation into alleged corruption in the installation of solar power panels at Sarawak schools.
Magistrate Chyfica Mohamed Zamri allowed the 44-year-old man, who has the title “Datuk”, bail of RM16,000 in one surety after the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) did not apply for an extension of the remand.
The former officer had been remanded since last Tuesday to facilitate the probe. He was arrested last Monday after being summoned to give a statement at the MACC headquarters here.
The solar panel project became controversial after it was revealed that the contract is said to have been done under the “direct order” of the then prime minister. — Bernama

KOTA KINABALU: The curfew in the waters off seven districts in the Eastern Sabah Security Zone (ESSZone), which was scheduled to end at 6pm today, has been extended to July 30, says Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Ramli Din.
The curfew covers the waters off Tawau, Semporna, Kunak, Lahad Datu, Kinabatangan, Sandakan and Beluran.
With the extension, those living in the affected areas should remain indoors, while outsiders would not be allowed to enter the waters between 6pm and 6am during the period, Comm Ramli said in a statement yesterday.
The extension is based on information that the Abu Sayyaf and kidnap-for-ransom gangs from the southern Philippines are still active, along with other cross-border crimes. — Bernama
