SHAH ALAM: A businessman with the title of “Datuk Seri” and a woman were remanded for six days from today to assist in an investigation into a bribery case amounting to RM300,000 in connection with the detention of 22 Chinese nationals at the immigration depot.
Magistrate Fatina Amyra Abdul Jalil issued the remand order following an application by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
The woman, 41, who is an agent for the supply of foreign workers, is suspected of acting as a middleman in the case.
