Bersatu files bid to challenge MACC over freezing of accounts

 

Bersatu claimed the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission’s decision to freeze the party’s accounts was done in bad faith.

KUALA LUMPUR: Bersatu is taking legal action against the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) decision to freeze its bank accounts.

The party filed an application in the High Court yesterday, claiming that the decision to freeze its bank accounts was done in bad faith.

Bersatu said the MACC had “abused their powers” by conducting selective “political prosecution” against Perikatan Nasional (PN).

Last month, MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki confirmed that several bank accounts held by Bersatu were frozen as part of the agency’s investigation into the party.
