Probe Muhyiddin’s claim that Najib, Zahid sought help over court cases, MACC urged

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) must investigate Muhyiddin Yassin’s statement that former Umno president Najib Razak and current president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had sought his help to clear them of corruption charges, a lawyer said.

Syed Iskandar Syed Jaafar al-Mahdzar said if this was true, he believed both men had committed an offence under Section 28 of the MACC Act.

“It is attempting to seek gratification for themselves by using the services of Muhyiddin,” he said.

Syed Iskandar said the term gratification was given wide meaning in the MACC Act.
