KLANG – Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has to explain to the public about the ongoing corruption and embezzlement case involving the registration of foreign workers and alleged involvement of his son-in-law.
Pakatan Harapan (PH) communications director Fahmi Fadzil said the former prime minister should not remain silent but needs to provide an immediate explanation about the case and inform the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) about the whereabouts of his son-in-law.
“Tan Sri Muhyiddin has to answer about this issue. If (his son-in-law) is innocent, why run… he needs to answer and I challenge Tan Sri to assist the MACC to locate his son-in-law to facilitate investigations,” he said during the Arus Merah Kuning ceramah in Meru near here last night.
It was reported yesterday that the MACC was tracking down two individuals, Datuk Seri Muhammad Adlan Berhan, 48, and Mansoor Saat, 69, to assist in investigations into the registration, recruitment and biometric storage of foreign workers by a ministry.
Checks of records by the commission revealed that both men had left Malaysia on May 17 and 21, respectively, with no records of them returning to the country so far.
In other developments, Fahmi, who is also communications and digital minister, said the setting up of the unity government at state level after elections this August 12 will allow more public issues and problems to be solved.
“In the context of telecommunications for instance, if there’s a problem, I can immediately take action to solve it with industry players… the same platform will definitely benefit the people immensely.”
Voters in Selangor, Kedah, Penang, Kelantan, Terengganu and Negri Sembilan will go to the polls to elect their new state governments on August 12, with early voting taking place today. – August 8, 2023
