The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), in a statement, said that the remand order against six policemen, including one with the rank of inspector, was issued by magistrate Shah Reza Noor Azman at the Temerloh magistrates’ court during today’s proceedings.

Apart from the 36-year-old inspector, those remanded are aged between 28 and 46, with the ranks of lance corporal, corporal, and sergeant major.

All of them are attached to the Jerantut IPD’s narcotics division.

All of them were arrested yesterday afternoon after being summoned to give their statements at the Temerloh MACC office to assist in the investigation under Section 16(a)(A) of the MACC Act 2009.

They are accused of soliciting a bribe from a man as an inducement to “settle” a case stemming from a raid and the discovery of ketum water in the man’s house.
