The remand order against the 35-year-old suspect was issued by magistrate Parvin Hameedah Natchiar following an application by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

The man was arrested after having his statement recorded at the Selangor MACC office at 4.05pm yesterday.

The magistrate also allowed the remand order for six bank employees who were arrested last week to be extended for another four days beginning today. They were previously remanded for seven days, from last Wednesday.

Earlier, the suspects, all men, arrived at the Shah Alam Court Complex at 9.40am.

On June 8, MACC detained six individuals attached to the bank’s branches in the Klang Valley.

According to an MACC source, they were believed to have solicited and received bribes of between 15% and 35% from 110 personal loans worth about RM18 million.
