Former Malaysian Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin abused his powers as Prime Minister in order to assist Bumiputera contractors in securing government projects under the Jana Wibawa programme, an anti-corruption investigator testified in the High Court. According to Mazery Mohd Zaini, a senior assistant commissioner at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) who investigated Muhyiddin's case, this abuse of power occurred when Muhyiddin instructed the finance minister to handle applications by companies seeking Jana Wibawa projects.
As a result, the companies that received projects subsequently made donations to Muhyiddin's Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM).
