PUTRAJAYA: The remand order for the chief executive officer and two senior managers of a highway concessionaire has been extended on Friday (June 28) as graft investigators deepen their probe into allegations of corruption involving the construction of two highways worth RM1.6bil in the Klang Valley.

The three and another individual would remain in the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) custody until July 2. Magistrate Nazira Adlin Ahmad Khairul Razi allowed the extension after their first remand order ended Thursday (June 27).
