The Kedah state government’s investment holding company Bina Darulaman Bhd (BDB) has clarified that the remand of its non-independent and non-executive director Muhamad Sobri Osman by the MACC is not related to the company.

BDB said Sobri, who is also Menteri Besar Kedah Incorporated (MBI Kedah)’s CEO was remanded on July 19 to assist an MACC investigation and was released on July 21.

“The investigation is not related to BDB and does not affect the operational matters of BDB Group.
