Annuar said he “happily” gave MACC a full explanation last week and will continue to cooperate with the anti-graft agency.

“I told them the full story of what happened. I thanked them and will continue to cooperate with them, that’s my responsibility,” he said at a press conference at the Muafakat Nasional office here today.

In a video posted on TikTok on Nov 21, Annuar claimed Muhyiddin had met him while in Sabah to give him “tens of millions” of ringgit. This led to questions on social media about where the funds came from.

“I flew to Sabah and met Muhyiddin myself. (I) entered his bedroom and told him Umno didn’t have enough money and lacked funds. Muhyiddin gave tens of millions to help Umno when in Sabah,” Annuar said in the video posted two days after the 15th general election.

In the video, he also said allegations that the Perikatan Nasional chairman intended to “kill” Umno were “false and fabricated”.

MACC is also set to summon Muhyiddin for questioning over the matter.

Muhyiddin also faces another MACC probe over the alleged misappropriation of funds by the previous Perikatan Nasional-led government. This involves some RM92.5 billion that his government had spent on Covid-19 measures.

The PN chairman previously said his administration had only spent RM83 billion in fiscal injections up to June 2021, which he maintained was not misused.
