Muhyiddin probe: if all cases political, can’t we arrest anyone? asks Anwar

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has responded to critics accusing the investigation into Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was politically motivated, questioning if all cases of corruption should then be ignored. 

Anwar, who is Pakatan Harapan chairman, stressed that the ongoing probe against the Bersatu president is being done independently by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and that he has no knowledge of the updates of the investigation.

“To say all cases are motivated by politics, does that mean we can’t arrest (anyone)? All the big corruption cases should be dropped?” he asked.

Anwar also urged critics to look at the facts of each cases before making their own conclusions.

“I don’t meddle (in cases). I inform all government agencies to look at the cases. Whether you agree or not – look at the case. What are the accusations and charge?”
