SHAH ALAM: The High Court here has rejected an application to remand the founder of sugar daddy dating platform Sugarbook.

Lawyer Foong Cheng Leong, representing the 34-year-old suspect, said deputy registrar Noorasyikin Sahat dismissed the application after his client pledged to give his full cooperation to facilitate police investigation in a case.

Selangor Criminal Investigation Department head Fadzil Ahmat had said the man, from Minden in Gelugor, Penang, was arrested at 4.30pm yesterday at a condominium in Kuala Lumpur.

Police are understood to have initiated an investigation into the dating website after it named 10 public and private universities as having the most students who chose to become “sugar babies” and sought “sugar daddies” to finance their lifestyles.
