MACC investigator: Muhyiddin abused powers as PM to help Jana Wibawa contractors

Former Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin is accused of abusing his power as prime minister to help Bumiputera contractors receive government projects, according to anti-corruption investigator Mazery Mohd Zaini. Mazery testified that this abuse of power occurred when Muhyiddin instructed the finance minister to handle applications by companies, resulting in the successful companies making donations to the party Bersatu.

Azman Yusoff, president of the Bumiputera Contractors Association of Malaysia (PKBM) and managing director of KCJ Engineering Sdn Bhd, is also mentioned as a suspect in a separate corruption case, though he was not charged. The trial is ongoing, with Muhyiddin facing seven charges related to power abuse and money laundering.
