KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Two Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers detained under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma), and believed to be linked to the Nicky Gang organised crime syndicate, have withdrawn their habeas corpus application seeking their immediate release.
Their lawyer Latheefa Koya told the High Court here on Monday (May 24) that her clients, aged 41 and 42, had withdrawn their applications as they were released on police bail on May 18.
Following this, Judge Datuk Ahmad Shahrir Mohd Salleh dismissed the applications.
The court had set Monday to hear the habeas corpus applications, which named Johor police chief Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay, a police officer, the Inspector-General of Police, the Home Minister and the Malaysian Government as the first to fifth respondents.
