Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has dismissed allegations that corruption investigations into political figures are motivated by personal vendettas or political payback. During the closing remarks of the MAHA 2026 exhibition, Anwar emphasized that he is not in control of who is investigated, stating that only the enforcement agencies handle the probing process.
He clarified the division of responsibilities, noting that the enforcement bodies gather evidence, the Attorney General's Chambers determines if charges should be brought, and the judges deliver the verdicts.
