UMNO president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today stated his readiness to be investigated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) relating to the sources of party funds.

Zahid who is also the deputy prime minister said he is open on the matter as he had been investigated by the MACC before.

“I am always open, I myself have been investigated and brought to court. I am prepared at anytime, thus we have been in the same boat, so you (Muhyiddin) should face up to it, as did I.

“I had faced (investigation before), I wish him all the best,” he told reporters after a ceremony to introduce the candidates for vice president and Supreme Council posts in the 2023-2026 Umno election at Kompleks Tan Sri Mohamed Rahmat in Johor Bahru today.

The Bagan Datuk MP was commenting on the statement by the Bersatu president who urged MACC to investigate Zahid and PKR president Anwar Ibrahim on the sources of their political funds. 

Muhyiddin, who delivered his policy speech at the Bersatu Annual General Assembly today, was quoted as making the call to ensure the investigation into the sources of political funds is fair and equal and that he should not be alone in getting charged in court. – Bernama, March 12, 2023.
