JOHOR BARU: The High Court here has decided that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) can remand suspects under the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) for offences investigated under the MACC Act 2009.
High Court Judge Datuk Abu Bakar Katar handed down the decision here on Wednesday , saying that when conducting its investigation, MACC can obtain a remand application under Section 117 of the CPC.ALSO READ:“The provisions of Section 49 of the Act cannot be read rigidly to the point that it affects the commission’s investigation process.
Outside the courtroom, MACC director Datuk Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin said the decision “was a win for MACC”. “Following the recent Temerloh High Court’s decision that rejected MACC’s bid to obtain a remand order, many cases had also failed to see a remand application obtained.“I believe that after this, there will be no issue for MACC to obtain a remand application and the Johor Baru High Court’s decision for future cases,” he added.
Temerloh High Court judge Justice Zainal Azman Ab Aziz said there was no need for him to interfere with the decision because the magistrate did not make a mistake and had made a right and proper decision.
