KOTA KINABALU: 11 police personnel and officers as well as one retired policeman were released from remand at the Magistrate's Court, here, today.
They were arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for investigation into suspected corruption.

The others were released on police bail.
