In response to allegations of misappropriation of RM600 billion by the government led by Muhyiddin previously, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission said they would focus on investigating the RM92.5 billion of public funds used in the economic package during the pandemic period.
The anti-corruption commission issued a statement saying that the Ministry of Finance has provided them with a breakdown of the funds spent on the economic package introduced by the government in 2020 and 2021 to manage the economy during the pandemic period. Preliminary investigation, the amount of funding involved is estimated at RM530 billion. Of this amount, RM437.5 billion is not from the government, while the remaining RM92.5 billion involves government funds, so they will focus on investigating RM92.5 billion involving government funds.
