Five in alleged protection racket remanded


PUTRAJAYA: Five individuals, including four enforcement officers from the Shah Alam City Council (MBSA), have been remanded for a week as graft busters look into allegations that certain enforcement authorities could be on the take from illegal businesses in Sungai Buloh.

The suspects, arrested in a special operation yesterday, were brought before Magistrate Shah Wira Abdul Halim, who allowed an application by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to remand the officers, aged between 41 and 45, until Aug 18.
