The letter from former Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan, concerning an ongoing case, will be handed over to the appropriate authorities for review, according to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Anwar has not yet received the letter but assured it would be forwarded to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) or the relevant ministry for examination.
Saravanan described the three charges of accepting RM1.097 million in bribes against him as a "wild accusation." Anwar emphasized the importance of allowing due process to unfold, including ongoing investigations and any potential prosecution, stating that conclusions should not be drawn before the matter is finalized by the courts.
Saravanan had previously requested Anwar's assistance in reviewing and expediting the case, clarifying that he was not seeking interference from the prime minister in the matter.
