KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s anti-graft agency will summon former premier Muhyiddin Yassin and two of his former cabinet ministers for questioning about alleged misappropriation of 600 billion ringgit (US$136 billion) in public funds for tackling the pandemic.
The other two are former health minister Khairy Jamaluddin and ex-finance minister Zafrul Aziz, who now heads the international trade and industry ministry in the new government, the New Straits Times reported, citing people it didn’t name. The funds for the Covid-19 pandemic included resources for vaccines, the newspaper added.
