BERSATU president Muhyiddin Yassin arrived at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Putrajaya at 11.17am today amid speculation he will be arrested.

Speculation is rife the Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman will be charged either later today or tomorrow.

Earlier Bersatu information chief Razali Idris said Muhyiddin may be arrested today.

“Muhyiddin has been told to go to the MACC’ headquarters… and we expect him to be arrested (today) and charged in court tomorrow,” Razali told reporters gathered outside MACC’s headquarters.

“We consider this inhumane as the party is having its elections tomorrow, and the Dewan Rakyat is also in session,” he said.

MACC is currently investigating allegations that chosen contractors allegedly deposited RM300 million in PN lynchpin party Bersatu’s account before the last general election.

Muhyiddin has denied this, adding that he is a victim of political slander by those intending to smear his reputation. He has also threatened to sue his accusers.

Prior to this two Bersatu leaders had been charged with graft.

Former Bersatu information chief and Tasek Gelugor MP Wan Saiful Wan Jan and Segambut Bersatu deputy chief Adam Radlan Adam Muhammad were charged with corruption.

They are alleged to have collected funds from the awarding of projects during Muhyiddin’s tenure as the eighth prime minister.

This morning, party leaders including Mohd Azmin Ali were among those seen at MACC’s headquarters to show support for Muhyiddin. – March 9, 2023.
