Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin has been summoned to the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya at 11am tomorrow.
Muhyiddin confirmed this via a statement on his Facebook page. The statement follows intense speculation that he will face criminal charges soon.
Muhyiddin also stressed that news reports of him being arrested on a golf course today were untrue.
"Today I attended several meetings regarding the Bersatu annual delegates assembly which starts this Friday.
"Tomorrow, I have been asked to be at the MACC headquarters," he said.
Meanwhile, Bersatu Youth exco member Harris Idaham Abdul Rashid told Malaysiakini that party supporters will be gathering tomorrow to show support for their president.
"We just got information that our president will be called to the MACC building tomorrow for questioning.
"We expect there will be a charge tomorrow evening or the next day. So we are mobilising to show our solidarity," he said.
Should Muhyiddin be charged, it would be the latest in a series of charges laid against Bersatu leaders since mid-February.
On Feb 21, Wan Saiful Wan Jan was charged at the Kuala Lumpur High Court for soliciting bribes of an unspecified amount and slapped with another charge of receiving RM6.96 million in bribes in 2022.
Several charges were also laid against Segambut Bersatu deputy chief Adam Radlan Adam Muhammad.
According to the MACC, these charges were related to the Jana Wibawa scheme - a stimulus project by the then-Muhyiddin administration as part of the Covid-19 pandemic relief efforts.
Also charged was Teo Wee Cheng who runs a business in the Pagoh area, which is coincidentally Muhyiddin's stronghold. - Mkini
