Johor Baru High Court rules MACC can use Section 117 of Criminal Procedure Code for remand purposes

JOHOR BARU, July 12 — The High Court here today ruled that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission can rely on Section 117 of the Criminal Procedure Code to remand suspects under the MACC Act 2009 for further investigation.

“The court also feels that the provisions of Section 49 of the Act need to be read with Section 29 of the same Act during investigations, which allows for remand applications under Section 117 of the CPC,” he said in his judgment. He said the Johor Baru High Court had discussed in depth the process that allows the MACC to remand suspects under Section 117 of the CPC.

Wan Shaharuddin said he hopes that after this, magistrates will examine in depth the Johor Baru High Court’s decision to allow remand applications. Last Friday, it was reported that the MACC failed in its bid for a revision against the Kuantan Magistrate’s Court decision which rejected its application to obtain a remand order against a 53-year-old district police chief to assist in a corruption case involving more than RM1 million.
