Former prime minister and Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Muhyiddin Yassin will be charged in court tomorrow, according to MACC chief Tan Sri Azam Baki, Berita Harian reports.
This was confirmed today by Tan Sri Azam Baki, the chief commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). ""He will not be taken to court today. It is likely he will be charged tomorrow," he said.
When questioned, Azam responded that it was up to his investigators to decide whether Muhyiddin would be detained overnight at the MACC headquarters.
Muhyiddin has fiercely disputed the claims that contractors had reportedly sent RM300 million into the Bersatu party account in exchange for projects, calling them political defamation meant to damage his reputation as the eighth prime minister.
More details are expected to unfold soon.
