ANN/THE STAR – Former Malaysian prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin has vowed legal action against those who insinuate that he is corrupt.
He added that he did not take a single cent from the procurement of COVID-19 vaccines.
He said that the claims were meant to tarnish his name and those making accusations should prove it.
“I have informed the MACC that I am not guilty and they seemed satisfied. I hope these matters are not raised again,” added the Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman.
“My lawyer is looking at taking legal action and we will not stop at that alone,” he said.
“The Public Accounts Committee has looked into the procurement of COVID-19 vaccines but there are some who intend to go further and connect my name to bribery,” said Muhyiddin.
The Pagoh Member of Parliament (MP) said he was at a loss as to why such accusations were being thrown at him.
“I do not know why all these accusations are being thrown at me now. Perhaps because we will be facing six state elections so I can be painted as the bad guy and they (political rivals) can win.”
