KUALA LUMPUR - The accounts of former premier Muhyiddin Yassin’s party have been frozen as Malaysia’s graft buster widen its dragnet into an alleged misappropriation during the Perikatan Nasional chief’s 18-month tenure.
An anti-graft official who did not want to be named told The Straits Times: “It is a big investigation, so it’s necessary for the MACC to freeze the accounts while we study all the transactions that went on to see if there are any irregularities.Tan Sri Azam said the investigation into Bersatu is unrelated to a probe into the alleged misappropriation of Covid-19 stimulus package funds by Tan Sri Muhyiddin’s government during the pandemic. He declined to elaborate further.
MACC’s probe has been expanded to all government expenditure across his tenure, and to the past two administrations.
