A former aide to Dr Zaliha Mustafa has filed a report with the MACC following accusations that the former health minister had failed to report an alleged bribe of RM50 million to scrap the generational endgame (GEG) law on tobacco and vape.

Zaliha’s former political secretary, G Sivamalar, said she decided to lodge the report with the graft busters after her “tribute article” to the former minister, in which she detailed Zaliha’s turning down of the bribe, was “taken out of context and amplified through misquotations”.
