According to his two lawyers, Rajsurian Pillai and Adly Zulfadhly, the 36-year old sales person was arrested at the Kota Damansara police station when he surrendered himself.

Police also raided his home, seizing his handphone and router.

The netizen, who goes by the handle @ChairmanGLC, spent a night at the Dang Wangi police station.

The father of four is being probed by the Classified Criminal Investigation Unit, Prosecution and Law Division (D5).

“Police had initially sought a four-day remand, but I argued against it, pointing out that he had given his full cooperation.

“Neither was he a flight risk. There is also no risk of him tampering with evidence since the devices have been taken from him,” Rajsurian said when contacted.

Rajsurian said the Kuala Lumpur magistrate later allowed for a one-day remand and his client will be released at 6pm today.

He went on to say that a report had been lodged against his client by the Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF).

The Covid-19 vaccine supply access guarantee special committee (JKJAV)  website had drawn flak from Malaysians over the poor user interface during the AstraZeneca opt-in vaccine registration, with many slamming the RM70 million allocated for the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK) system.

Vaccine minister Khairy Jamaluddin has since said Putrajaya did not spend the full RM70 million on the website, clarifying that the funds covered a range of things.

‘Great coffee at the lockup’

In a tweet this evening, @ChairmanGLC said he wanted to catch 40 winks as he could not sleep at all the night before.

“I have only one thing to say, the ‘bungkus’ coffee at the Dang Wangi lockup is great,” he said, adding he was now using a phone lent by his brother.
