PETALING JAYA: A businessman who was remanded by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) last Thursday over alleged corruption involving the Menteri Besar Incorporated (Selangor MBI) was rearrested, today.

“The investigating officer decided to re-arrest the businessman following information that he might be involved in another corruption case.
“The second case is also related to MBI, but involves other projects under it,“ a MACC source was quoted as saying by the Malay daily.
The businessman was among four individuals arrested by the MACC last week on suspicion of corrupt practices related to sand mining concessions in Selangor.
The three other individuals arrested include a 45-year-old man who is also a former MBI executive, a 46-year-old female employee at a sand mining company, and a 43-year-old man who works as a driver.
