The RM25.3 million donated by three Bumiputera contractors to Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) in 2021 and 2022 was not a "political donation", according to Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigating officer Mazery Mohd Zaini. The money was instead a "reward" given to the contractors after the PPBM president and former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin helped them secure government projects.
According to Mazery, the RM25.3 million was deposited directly into the PPBM's bank accounts, and Muhyiddin was one of the authorised signatories for these accounts. The investigating officer stated that there were no donation receipts issued by PPBM for the RM25.3 million given by the contractors, and the contractors' owners and representatives had said they would not have donated to PPBM if they had not received the government projects.
