KUALA LUMPUR, March 9 – Former Malaysian prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin arrived at the country’s anti-graft agency on Thursday, after he was summoned to appear following allegations of abuse in stimulus programmes launched under his premiership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim last year ordered a review of government projects worth billions of dollars approved by Muhyiddin, including COVID-19 relief programmes, alleging they did not follow proper procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
