KUALA LUMPUR - Two members of the party led by Malaysia’s former premier Muhyiddin Yassin have been charged with corruption and solicitation involving more than RM6.9 million .
Jana Wibawa was a programme designed to help bumiputera, or Malay/Muslim, contractors during the Covid-19 pandemic. It was conceived by Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Aziz, who was then finance minister in Tan Sri Muhyiddin’s Cabinet.The initiative became embroiled in controversy after Datuk Seri Anwar said costs were too high for some projects and that some of them had been approved without going through a tender process.
On Monday, Wan Saiful was summoned to the MACC, where he was held for the night to be taken to court on Tuesday, while Adam was directed to be present at the court. Mr Muhyiddin has said that he was clueless as to why he had become the target of such accusations, and vowed legal action against those who insinuate that he is corrupt.‘I will cooperate, I have nothing to hide,’ says Malaysia’s Zafrul of probe into Covid-19 aid
