A CONSULTING company director has been remanded for three days starting today to facilitate a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) probe into alleged abuse of power involving Air Kelantan Sendirian Berhad (AKSB) employees and former staff.

The remand order against the 55-year-old man who is also the owner of the company, was issued by Kota Bharu Magistrate’s Court assistant registrar Nor Faezah Abdullah today.

According to a source, the company was awarded a supply water contract by AKSB.

“The case is being investigated under Section 23 of the MACC Act 2009,” the source said when contacted today.

It was previously reported that a 60-year-old former AKSB general manager had been remanded for three days from Friday by the MACC over a graft probe involving projects worth more than RM27 million.

Also remanded were a 39-year-old AKSB officer and a 43-year-old project manager. – Bernama, July 12, 2021.
