Uthayakumar, who happened to be at the Duta magistrate&#8217;s court for another remand hearing. Uthaya spotted a handcuffed Nat and realised what the police were trying to do &#8211; conduct the hearing without the presence of Nat\u2019s lawyers. Sivarasa and Latheefa Koya rushed there and <em>taruh <\/em>the cops <em>kau-kau<\/em> (yeh!).<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>We waited for almost 2 hours outside the court room. Finally the lawyers came out and informed us that the police tried to ask for the maximum of 14 days remand (!) and got 4 days instead.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>The police said Nat is being investigated for an offence under Section 8 of the Officials Secrets Act (changed from last night\u2019s Section 420 of the Penal Code), i.e. possession of &#8216;secret&#8217; documents published on the internet, which alleged that deputy Minister for Internal Security, Johari Bahrum, was involved in the &#8216;fee-for freedom&#8217; scandal.
