FOUR people who were recently arrested on suspicion of making false claims for development projects worth more than RM300 million on the east coast, have been released on the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) bail.

The lawyer representing the four suspects, Vivek Sukumaran, said they were released after the six-day remand order on them ended today.

“The case is still being investigated. The remand was not extended as all of them, aged between 28 and 48, have given their cooperation to MACC,” he said in Kuala Terengganu today.

“I hope all quarters will stop making speculation. Just give room to MACC to complete its investigation.”

Last Friday, Bernama reported that a managing director of a government-linked company involved in real estate was among the four people arrested on alleged involvement in making false claims involving development projects worth more than RM300 million on the east coast.

The three others were a company director, a project manager and an architect. – Bernama, June 22, 2022.
