Anwar: No political revenge or meddling in probes into Tabung Haji and Felda
KLANG: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today said investigations into alleged wrongdoing involving Tabung Haji and Felda were not driven by political revenge.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim clarified today that the investigations into alleged misconduct at Tabung Haji and Felda were not conducted out of political retribution. He emphasized that he remains impartial in the investigative and prosecutorial processes. Anwar reiterated that the duty of conducting investigations falls to the police and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), while prosecution decisions are made by the Attorney-General, and final judgments are made by the courts.
He stressed that he desires no innocent individuals to face charges or penalties. However, if malfeasance and financial losses are proven, the judicial process should be allowed to conclude. The prime minister underscored that determining the need for an investigation falls to the investigating entities of the police and MACC, the responsibility for prosecution is handed to the Attorney-General, and the court decides on any sentencing.
