Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah Government continued its momentum in managing the economy in line with the commitment and spirit of the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) when it posted record high state revenue of RM6.973 billion last year.

Senior Federal Counsel Jamil Aripin who was assisted by Deputy Public Prosecutor Ahmad Nazneen Zulkifli objected to bail for them but later proposed RM5,000 in a local surety should the court wish to grant them bail.

All of them asked for a lower bail saying they are still working with the RMN and that they have no intention to abscond.

Ainul however, released each of them on a bail of RM10,000 with RM5,000 deposited in a local surety who must have a permanent address and fixed Oct 20 for case management.

Besides that, they also were ordered to report to the nearest police station once a month and their passports, if any, must be impounded by the court.
