Malaysia ex-PM Muhyiddin Yassin set to be charged for corruption

Muhyiddin Yassin, who was Malaysia’s prime minister as the country locked down over COVID-19, is expected to be charged on Friday with corruption over the alleged diversion of funds to his party.

Muhyiddin went voluntarily for questioning at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on Thursday morning in relation to allegations that building contractors deposited money into the accounts of his Bersatu party in exchange for contracts during the pandemic.
