GLC director, 2 others remanded for power abuse, corruption involving RM39 million

The man, a 'Datuk' aged 50, was detained by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission in Shah Alam about 5pm yesterday.

He is believed to have awarded projects to a company of which he had an interest while serving as chief executive officer of another GLC before resigning last year.

Also detained, besides the suspect's brother aged 35, who was a director of the company when the former was CEO at the GLC, was a man aged 61, who was also the managing director of the company.

The remand orders on the three men, effective today till Tuesday, were issued by magistrate Nik Isfahanie Tasnim Wan Ab Rahman.

An MACC spokesman said the three were being held for cases related to their tenure at the GLC at the time when the main suspect was still the CEO.

The spokesman said the main suspect was also a director of another company, while the other two who were detained yesterday after giving their statements at the MACC headquarters here were still with the same GLC.

In a separate case, the remand on a GLC general manager for power abuse and corruption involving more than RM10 million, which expired today, has been extended for another six days beginning tomorrow.
