MALACCA: A 56-year-old senior officer with the Public Works Department (PWD), remanded to facilitate a corruption probe involving high-ranking civil servants, was released today on a RM300,000 bail.
The order was issued by Magistrate's Court assistant registration officer Mohd Anuar Ostadi.
The senior officer, who holds a 'Datuk' title, was earlier remanded for 10 days until today to facilitate investigations under Sections 17(a) and 23 of the MACC Act 2009 and Section 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
The suspect was detained on Aug 15.
Last week, it was reported that three civil servants, including a 'Datuk' and a 'Datuk Seri', were arrested in Kuala Lumpur, Malacca and Kelantan over allegations of corruption, abuse of power and money-laundering.
