Stressing that PN had nothing to hide, the coalition’s chairman said its financial statements were accessible to the public as they had been audited and sent to the Registrar of Societies (RoS) as required by the law.

Under the Societies Act 1966, legally-registered organisations are required to hold their annual general meetings during which their annual reports, which include audited financial statements, are presented.

“As a registered political organisation, we obey the law,” said Muhyiddin after attending an event with residents in Kampung Jawa here.

“Anyone can go through it because it has been audited. I don’t know if PKR audits their accounts (but) all our expenditures are carefully audited, (even if it’s) one sen, two sen, RM100 or RM200.

“As of today, the RoS has not issued any statements saying that our annual reports are not valid,” said Muhyiddin, who is seeking a ninth term in Pagoh.

Anwar, who is also the PKR president, had previously claimed that PN had become the richest coalition after it benefitted from projects worth billions of ringgit during the Covid-19 pandemic.

He alleged that Bersatu president Muhyiddin, who was the prime minister at the time, issued many projects without tenders to certain parties.

Following the allegation, Muhyiddin said he had no qualms providing Anwar with PN’s financial statements on condition that Anwar would do the same.
