KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian anti-graft authorities have frozen the bank accounts of an opposition party led by former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin amid an investigation that the pro-Malay group said was an attempt to destroy its credibility.
The Bersatu party will cooperate in the investigation by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission in order to quickly put an end to the “slander” thrown its way, party secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin said in a statement late Wednesday.
Shortly after taking office, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said “tens of billions of ringgit” in Covid-19 relief during Muhyiddin Yassin’s time as premier was allocated without due procedure.
