Rural and Regional Development Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob refuted claims by suspended Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) chairperson Annuar Musa, that he was suspended for his support for the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC).

"It is nothing to do with UEC.

"He was rested while an internal audit committee and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Committee investigated the sponsorship of Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL) and Permodalan Mara Bhd to TRW Sdn Bhd," Ismail told Malaysiakini.
