KUCHING: A businessman Datuk and his wife have been released by a Magistrate's Court here after they were detained overnight by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to assist investigations into falsified documents for a food supply project under the Education Ministry involving more than RM5mil.

Magistrate Zaiton Anuar found that there were no grounds to remand the couple when they were brought before her on Friday (April 9).
