PUTRAJAYA: Former Felda chairman Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad was brought to the Magistrate’s Court here today for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission to secure an order to remand him over its investigation into several cases.

Isa, who was in MACC lockup attire and handcuffed, was accompanied by several MACC officers as he arrived at the court at 9.10 am in an MACC vehicle.

He looked calm and smiled at members of his family, supporters and the reporters who had been waiting there from 8 am.

Isa’s wife, Puan Sri Bibi Sharliza Mohd Khalid, who was also at the court compound, shed tears as Isa arrived at the court.

Isa was arrested at about 4.30 pm yesterday at the MACC headquarters here after he had come to give a statement. – Bernama
