SINGAPORE: Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Thursday that his government did not influence an anti-graft investigation into Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia for allegedly embezzling billions of ringgit during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“What happened was two things: Firstly, reports were made to the police and MACC on the use of funds by Bersatu. Secondly, while doing my job at the finance ministry, I found high-expenditure projects that did not go through a tender process.” “So, if the party is as clean as its leaders claim it to be, they need to explain to the authorities why in such a short amount of time they managed to collect so much money, from what source, and to whom.”
