The remand on Perlis’ Drainage and Irrigation Department (DID), director has been extended by six days to allow for further investigation into alleged graft and abuse of power. Alor Star High Court’s senior assistant registrar, Nor Azah Idris, granted the remand extension application by the MACC for the 60-year-old man from today until February 11th. Meanwhile, two businessmen one of whom is believed to be the director's son were released on MACC bail. The three men were arrested following a tip-off on discrepancies in the awarding of projects by the state DID. The trio was subsequently remanded for a week to facilitate an investigation. The two businessmen are being probed for allegedly abetting the director in committing the offences. The MACC has frozen 17 bank accounts belonging to the director, his children and the two businessmen, amounting to a total of RM4 million. Also seized were 900,000 in cash at one of the businessmen's houses, and an 18,000 motorcycle belonging to the director.
