Mr Muhyiddin had previously been called to give a statement to the anti-graft agency on Feb 17 to assist in their investigation into the Jana Wibawa programme.
Mr Azam was quoted as saying by The Malaysian Insight on Thursday that the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia president was currently giving his statement at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission headquarters.
Earlier on Thursday, Mr Muhyiddin, who is also Perikatan Nasional chairman, presented himself at the headquarters of MACC. Bersatu information chief Razali Idris told local media that Mr Muhyiddin may be arrested on Thursday, though he later said that the party is “waiting to see what happens next”, The Star reported.
The Jana Wibawa programme was an economic generation project during Malaysia’s Covid-19 movement control order. It was a stimulus aid package that was meant to help Bumiputera contractors. Separately, another man has been charged for accusing the MACC of offering RM10 million to Wan Saiful to implicate Mr Muhyiddin in the Jana Wibawa case.
He had previously been summoned by the anti-graft agency last month over the contract which was said to be worth over a billion ringgit.Local media also reported that Mr Muhyiddin has been barred from travelling overseas.
