KUALA LUMPUR – Former Ketereh MP Tan Sri Annuar Musa has given his statement to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over his claim regarding then prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin financing Umno for the Sabah election in 2020.
Informing reporters of the matter during a press conference at the Muafakat Nasional (MN) headquarters here today, Annuar said that he had given his full cooperation to the MACC when he was questioned last week.
“I happily gave them (MACC) my statement and told them the full story about what happened.
“I thanked them and will continue to cooperate with them,” he added.
In a video posted on November 21, Annuar alleged that Muhyiddin, who is Perikatan Nasional chairman and Bersatu president, had given him huge sums of money to help Umno in the Sabah election.
“I flew to Sabah and met (Muhyiddin) myself. I entered his bedroom and told him Umno didn’t have enough money and lacked funds.
“Muhyiddin (then) gave tens of millions of ringgit to help Umno when in Sabah,” Annuar said in the video, which made rounds on social media and sparked questions on the source of Muhyiddin’s funds.
The MACC will also be summoning Muhyiddin for his explanation on the matter.
Last week, The Vibes reported that Muhyiddin is one of three prominent individuals expected to be summoned by the MACC to assist in the probe into the alleged misappropriation of public funds amounting to RM600 billion during his administration. – The Vibes, December 15, 2022
