CHERAS: The unity government may be forced to"drop out" from Putrajaya before the next general elections, says Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin
The Pagoh MP - who is facing corruption charges over misuse of power and bribery - claimed that the MACC will soon seize and foreclose the funds of the party before the pending six state elections. "I was dragged to the courts on Friday as I was accused of allegedly misusing my position as the Prime Minister. And on Monday , I will be charged again in Shah Alam," he added."I am forced to face a 20-year prison sentence. This is the first time in Malaysia's history that a party president is charged for receiving funds into the party account," said Muhyiddin.
"Before GE15, Umno was the main party in the government and the Prime Minister was from Umno. Did Umno not receive any funds from businessmen then? PKR runs Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Penang. Has the party not received funds from businessmen," he said.Muhyiddin then said that he has been told that the Bersatu accounts will be seized and foreclosed so that the party does not have any funding before the upcoming state polls.
"A survey by the mainstream media failed to give more than 50% marks to the current Cabinet ministers. This government may even drop out before the 16th general election, even though they may have two third majority in Parliament right now," he said. He also faces two more charges of money laundering, wherein his party received RM195 million out of the total sum from illegal activities.
