The police will apply for the extension of remand for actor and radio announcer Patrick Teoh from the Magistrate’s Court here tomorrow.

Johor police chief Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said this was to enable the police to complete the investigation papers as Teoh was uncooperative in the initial investigations.

“The remand period will end tomorrow but we are still unable to complete the papers because he did not cooperate. He has forgotten all of his passwords including for his email. His handphone was also lost a day before he was called for investigations.

“So, according to Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, we will be applying for the remand to be extended for another three to four days,” he told a press conference here today.

Ayob Khan was replying to a question on whether Teoh will be charged in court tomorrow following the expiry of his remand.
