GE15 | Former premier Muhyiddin Yassin said he dares to take an oath that all government expenditures for managing Covid-19 when he was the prime minister were made in accordance with procurement policies and regulations.

"I can swear that every sen of government money spent was for the rakyat and done according to existing financial regulations,” he told reporters after launching the Muar Branch Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia ‘Karnival Sahabat Usahawan’ in Bukit Pasir today.

Muhyiddin was commenting on Malacca Pakatan Harapan chairperson Adly Zahari’s statement that Harapan would investigate the former prime minister for allegedly spending RM500 billion during the pandemic period if the coalition forms the government after the 15th general election on Saturday, Bernama reported.

Muhyiddin said he would have no problem if anyone wanted to investigate the matter.

"I’m not worried because everything was according to procurement policies and spending procedures under the Finance Ministry. If you have evidence go to the MACC and make a police report.

"Don’t resort to slander by speculating and trying to create suspicion. I am never scared because I know my management (integrity) in my years of government administration,” he added.

‘No other alliance’

Muhyiddin also repeated his dismissal of claims that there was turmoil in his coalition Perikatan Nasional (PN) after PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan reportedly said PN was confident of forming the government with other coalitions especially BN if PN could not get a simple majority in GE15.

"That is what was reported but Takiyuddin said his statement was taken out of context, and I have corrected it.

“PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang has also clarified.

“Our stand is that we contest on the PN ticket, and the question of going into an alliance with other coalitions does not arise,” the PN chairperson said.
