ALOR SETAR - Five enforcement personnel of an agency were remanded for six days from today to assist in investigations into a case pertaining to soliciting and accepting bribes from fishing boat owners in Kedah between 2018 and 2021.

Magistrate Siti Norhidayah Mohd Noor issued the order to remand all of them at the Alor Setar Court Complex.

The five suspects are among the nine enforcement personnel arrested by the MACC yesterday for allegedly soliciting and accepting bribes from fishing boat owners and runners between 2018 and 2021.

The enforcement officials were suspected to have received bribes as a reward for protecting and not taking legal action against fishing vessels in violation of the Fisheries Act 1985.

Two civilians were also detained for providing bribes between RM300 and RM7,000 to the nine enforcement personnel who served in Kuala Kedah, Batu Uban and Langkawi.
