JOHOR BARU: The remands for the son of a Johor executive councillor, his special officer and two others have been extended for another seven days until March 9 to aid in investigation into a land scandal. The six suspects were brought to the Johor Baru court at around 9am on Friday in six separate cars. Magistrate's court registrar Hafizah Johor Ariff Johor allowed the remand to be extended. Anti-graft officers uncovered the plot after sifting through stacks of documents seized from the state government and developers, who were implicated recently. Latif has also gone on leave until further notice after MACC officers grilled him for four hours on Tuesday.
