RM90bil vs RM600bil: Muhyiddin’s investigation case, a heated argument

AFTER the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) announced that it is focusing on the RM92.5 bill government fund spent in 2020 and 2021 related to the management of the COVID-19 pandemic, internet users have been arguing vehemently.

Twitter users are now squabbling whether RM92.5 bil is a small amount compared to the RM2.6 bil of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal.

The argument follows comments from some users who said the money under investigation is small compared to the initial RM600 bil.

Meanwhile, some are accusing Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim of politicking as he stated the alleged sum misused or misappropriated was RM600 bil while the MACC is investigating the RM92.5 bil since it says the RM437.5 bil is not from the government.
