The investigating officer, who applied for the remand order, submitted among others that MACC required seven days to investigate and trace other co-suspects under the syndicate.
The suspect, who was unrepresented by counsel, requested for the remand period to be shortened as his parents are unwell at the moment.
He is alleged to have bribed a man RM2,250 for the issuance of fake Covid-19 vaccination certificates on the MySejahtera app to three non-vaccinated members of the public.
