The Magistrate’s Court in Seremban today issued an order to remand an NGO chairperson for two days from today over a police investigation into a demand for protection money.

Seremban Lower Courts assistant registrar Nor Anida Norhamdan issued the order to the police at 10am.

The NGO chairperson was picked up by a police team from the Bukit Aman CID Department near the Nilai toll plaza at 10.50pm yesterday.

The police are investigating a demand for RM25,000 protection money from the operator of an illegal lottery last night.
