Businessperson Albert Tei and Malacca PKR chief Shamsul Iskandar Akin arrived at the Putrajaya Magistrate’s Court earlier this morning for their remand hearing.
Both men were brought to court, handcuffed and clad in the orange MACC lock-up attire.
While Shamsul appeared silent while walking to the court, Tei repeatedly shouted in Malay that this was the price to pay when taking on the powerful.
“This is what happens when you take on the top leadership. Who else is brave enough to take them on?
“This is shameful to the country,” he added.
Yesterday, MACC arrested Shamsul, Tei, and Sofia Rini Buyong over an investigation into corruption allegations involving mining prospecting licences in Sabah.
The anti-graft agency obtained a four-day remand order against Sofia, who was alleged to be Shamsul’s proxy, from the Putrajaya Magistrate’s Court yesterday.
