Saravanan: I asked Anwar for transparent probe, not cover-up
Ex-minister clarifies he had written to Anwar over the 'wild' allegations because PM was his 'boss'.
Former Malaysian human resources minister M Saravanan has stated he did not write to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim seeking a cover-up for his graft charges, despite being charged in court. At a press conference, Saravanan confirmed he had written to the prime minister to request a thorough review of his case, asserting the charges were not credible.
The MIC deputy president, who faces three counts of receiving RM1.097 million in bribes connected to foreign worker quota approvals, claimed he felt no shame about the charges, confident of being acquitted. Saravanan also emphasized he was unaware of the individuals or corporations listed in the charge sheet, and pledged his full cooperation with the legal process.
He urged authorities not to delay his case, expressing a desire to clear his name in court as soon as possible. Saravanan noted that the trial would provide the public with a clearer understanding of Malaysian politics and its politicians.
