Among the Bersatu leaders present outside the MACC headquarters were deputy president Ahmad Faizal Azumu, secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin, Supreme Council member Azmin Ali, youth chief Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal, and information chief Razali Idris.

Also present were PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man and Gerakan president Dominic Lau.

Razali had earlier told reporters that he expected “all Perikatan Nasional MPs” to arrive at the MACC headquarters in a show of support for Muhyiddin.

The PN chairman had previously given a statement to MACC over projects awarded under Jana Wibawa, a Covid-19 stimulus initiative to help Bumiputera contractors which was introduced when he was prime minister.

Last month, MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki said investigation papers involving Muhyiddin had yet to be handed over to the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC).

Bersatu’s bank accounts were frozen by MACC last month under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act (Amla).

Last month, Bersatu’s Tasek Gelugor MP Wan Saiful Wan Jan was charged with accepting a RM6.9 million bribe and soliciting an unspecified amount over a RM232 million road project linked to the Jana Wibawa programme.

Segambut Bersatu deputy chief Adam Radlan Adam Muhammad was also slapped with five charges of soliciting and accepting bribes over projects involving Jana Wibawa.
