MACC can get remand under CPC

JOHOR BARU: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) can now remand suspects under the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) for offences investigated under the MACC Act 2009, ruled the High Court here.

Calling the decision “a win for MACC”, its director (Legal and Prosecution Division), Datuk Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin, said it also means that the commission is not bound only to Section 49 of the MACC Act 2009 when applying for a remand, as previously decided by the Temerloh High Court.
