KUALA LUMPUR: Perikatan Nasional chairman Muhyiddin Yassin has reportedly been questioned by the country’s anti-graft agency over allegations that a government contract was awarded to a relative when he was Malaysia’s prime minister.
Last Thursday, Mr Muhyiddin denied claims that he had awarded the National Integrated Immigration System to IRIS Corp Bhd that was purportedly linked to his son-in-law. In a Facebook post on Feb 9 refuting the allegations against him, Mr Muhyiddin said: “I vehemently deny this accusation. It is an evil slander deliberately designed to defame me and my family.
A source told the Malaysian daily that an investigation paper on the RM300 million alleged to have been received by Bersatu from COVID-19 stimulus package funds is now in the final stages of completion by the MACC.
