The MAAC secured the order for the remand of the 42-year-old “Datuk” until July 1 from Magistrate Shah Wira Abdul Halim at the Putrajaya Magistrate’s Court here to facilitate its probe under Section 17(a) of the MACC Act 2009.

He had been asked to give a statement at the MACC headquarters yesterday and was arrested at 9.45 pm.

He had served with a government-linked company prior to being appointed as a special officer to Najib in 2009. He resigned from the post on June 5.
