PUTRAJAYA: A Datuk Seri who was remanded to assist in a probe into alleged graft involving the Penang undersea tunnel project was released on bail today. Magistrate Lee Hong Shi issued an order to release the 37-year-old businessman on Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) bail of RM150,000 with one surety. During the proceedings, the MACC had applied to the court to set bail at RM300,000 with one surety against the man.
