Perlis MB released on bail by MACC after eight hours of questioning
PUTRAJAYA: Perlis Mentri Besar Mohd Shukri Ramli has been released on bail by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

After having his statement recorded for over nine hours, he was released at about 7.30pm on Tuesday (April 30)

"Alhamdulillah. I have finished giving my statement to the MACC officers. I want to express my sincere thanks to the MACC officers on duty for carrying out their duties very professionally," he said.

In the post, Shukri shared a photo of him with an individual believed to be his lawyer.

Earlier today, MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki had said that the agency was not only investigating Shukri's son but also probing him for alleged abuse of power.

Last week, the MACC remanded Shukri's son and five other men to assist in the investigation into a case of producing falsified documents to make RM600,000 in claims from 2022.

Two civil servants from the Mentri Besar's Office and state secretary's office and three company contractors were also detained.

All the suspects are aged between 26 and 37 and were detained by the MACC between 7am and 8am on Tuesday (April 23) around the state.
