JOHOR BARU – Sekijang MP Natrah Ismail lodged a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) yesterday regarding an alleged attempt by certain parties to procure her support for Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
“I have lodged a report with MACC regarding an attempt to procure my support for Muhyiddin, with the promise of the benefits I stand to gain in return for that support,” the PKR lawmaker said in a statement yesterday.
“The incident happened on March 3, and involved two individuals, including a ‘Datuk Seri’.”
Natrah said the report was lodged under Section 25 of the MACC Act 2009 in connection with the duty to report any attempt of bribery, adding that she hopes MACC will investigate the matter immediately.
On Saturday, the parliamentarian was advised to lodge a report with MACC following claims that there were individuals who allegedly attempted to bribe her to leave PKR.
Allegations that two individuals met with Natrah and tried to bribe her to switch allegiances from PKR with an offer of RM10 million and a position have gone viral on social media. – Bernama, March 8, 2021
