  "account": "Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has stated that the former human resources minister, M Saravanan, should be referred to the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Bureau (SPRM) regarding charges of bribery against him. Anwar stated that he has not yet received a letter from Saravanan's MIC successor, but will forward it to SPRM for further action as soon as he receives it. When it comes to that point, it is not my concern. I will refer it to SPRM and the state attorney to investigate. We should allow for continued investigation and the prosecution. ...and not make any statements until the court decides (on the Saravanan case), he said after performing Friday prayers at Masjid Sembilang, here. Earlier, Saravanan admitted to not being guilty in court of three charges of bribery totaling RM1.097 million related to the approval of foreign labor quotas. The Tanah Rata MP then confirmed that he wrote a letter to Anwar regarding the charges, but denied requesting the prime minister to intervene to close the case. Saravanan stated that he instead requested a thorough investigation into his case while asserting that the charges against him were baseless.",
