Warisan vice-president Junz Wong told FMT that Shafie had complained of fatigue and wished only to go home and rest for now.
“He has just completed the necessary paperwork at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) office where he had been held since Saturday.
“His schedule is full for the next few days, so it is better for him to rest for now,” Wong said.
Shafie, who was detained last week in connection with the alleged misappropriation of RM1.5 billion allocated for rural development projects in Sabah, will attend the Friday prayers instead.
“There is no point going to the tabling session now. It’s too late. But he will attend the debate sessions next week, of course,” Wong added.
Shafie showed up at the court today looking tired but relaxed as he waved at over 400 supporters who had gathered outside the court compound since 7am.
His wife and son were also at the court.
It took only 20 minutes for Magistrate Cindy Balitus to set the RM100,000 bail for Shafie’s release.
Shafie’s lawyer Loretto Padua Jr said since Shafie was on bail, he would be expected to make himself available whenever MACC needs him.
“We will see how it goes, but that is the law,” he said.
Wong, who launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise money for Shafie’s bail two days ago, also announced the end of the campaign which raised RM102,659.50.
