PUTRAJAYA,  June 16  — Four individuals including a civil servant at a ministry are being remanded for six days from today to assist the investigation into the issue of a supply tender worth RM42 million for an enforcement agency.

According to a source, all the four men, aged between 32 and 61 years, were detained at the MACC headquarters here about 10 pm yesterday.
