Govt to ensure return of billions lost to leakages: Anwar

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – The government will ensure the recovery of billions of ringgit that were “unloaded” by the nation’s former leaders, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Speaking at the Munajat Ambang Tahun Baru 2023 New Year’s programme at the Masjid Putra mosque in Putrajaya this evening, Anwar suggested such acts were unforgivable and that he was in no position to pardon those who have committed the transgressions.

“I want to advise my ‘friends’ who always talk about ‘bersih’ (being clean) and attacking leaders in the unity government, not to mention those who have been finance ministers, prime ministers… who when they were in power, ‘unloaded’ not only hundreds millions of ringgit, but billions of ringgit (from the national coffers).
