Magistrate Nik Hasfahanie Tasnim Wan Abdul Rahman allowed the order, which will expire on Nov 15, after the three were produced before her.

All the suspects were represented.

The executives, both 51, serving as chief executive officer and managing director of the two companies respectively, were arrested at the MACC headquarters here early this morning after giving their statements to the anti-graft agency.

It is learnt the two, one of them who carries the honorific “Datuk” title, had obtained contracts from the general manager of the GLC.

It was reported earlier that MACC officers arrested the 56-year-old general manager at his house in Seremban yesterday.

He is alleged to have received bribes from contractors who had failed to complete their projects within the stipulated time. The money was paid to allow them to continue with their projects.

The suspect is believed to own nine houses worth a total of RM8 million – three in Putrajaya, one in Kuala Lumpur, one in Cyberjaya and four in Negeri Sembilan.

MACC believes the houses were bought with cash to avoid detection by the authorities.

It was previously reported that the MACC had also seized cash amounting to RM30,000, two luxury cars and a high-powered motorcycle. Several bank accounts, holding a total of RM2.5 million, were also frozen.

The general manager was also suspected of abusing his power by terminating the services of 20 of his subordinates who refused to support him in his activities over the past six years.
