KUANTAN: Actor Datuk Noruliman A. Rahman, better known as Boy Iman, took to Instagram to thank his supporters and enemies after being released from remand.

The DBI Properties managing director said he accepted all support, prayers, criticism, advice, insults, condemnati­on and slander with an open heart.

“Whether it is to assist in investigat­ions, to be a witness in a crime or be a criminal, it will all be determined by the country’s legal system. It is clear that the guilty will receive just punishment according to what they have done, including myself.

“I still want to be a purveyor of affordable housing, not a purveyor of fraud,” Noruliman said in a post after he was released by the Kuantan magistrate’s court on Tuesday.

Magistrate Nordiana Abd Aziz had rejected another applicatio­n to remand Noruliman and two others for investigat­ions into an alleged housing scam.

This was the second time Noruliman had been released since he was first arrested on Oct 3.

He had been remanded at six different locations across the country before an applicatio­n for remand was rejected in Penang on Oct 15. However, Noruliman was immediatel­y rearrested the same day.

Noruliman’s lawyer Faizul Mohd Nasir said hopefully his client would not be rearrested after this.

“To me, this is an abuse of the legal process. My client should just be charged if there is a case against him,” Faizul told reporters here.
