Two senior officers with the Sabah Railway Department were freed after the Kota Kinabalu Magistrate’s Court rejected a remand application against them. The two men, aged 39 and 58, were re-arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, MACC yesterday, shortly after they were released with two others - a colleague and a company director, after a 10-day remand. The four men were under investigation by the commission for alleged corrupt practices and abuse of power involving projects under the department. However, Magistrate Stephanie Sherron Abbie today dismissed the new remand application by the MACC to detain the duo further. Meanwhile, in a separate proceeding, the court extended the remand order on a 60-year-old contractor for two more days to assist the same probe by the graft buster. Two assistant engineers from the department are also still under remand. It was reported that since January 22nd, the MACC has detained 10 individuals for investigations for graft in relation to railway projects worth RM 56 million between 2012 and last year.
