PETALING JAYA – A singer from a popular group has been remanded for two days beginning today to assist in a domestic violence case.
His lawyer, Kailash Sharma said that the remand order was issued by Court Registrar, Hairolazhar Mohd Ishak although the police made an application for a four-day remand order.
“There is a big possibility that my client will be charged at the court tomorrow,” he told the journalists today.
