KUALA LUMPUR – PKR strategic communications director Fahmi Fadzil said that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) should launch an investigation on some members of Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhiyiddin Yassin’s Cabinet.

The Lembah Pantai MP claimed that 3 out of 4 of them had signed statutory declarations (SD) in support of former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad on February 29 – a day after Pakatan Harapan claimed they have majority support of the MP after the Agong appointed Muhyiddin as the eighth prime minister.

“Some people on Dr Mahathir list are now in Muhiyiddin’s Cabinet.The MACC should investigate if the jumping to other party comes with perks.”

Fahmi posted a video clip of MPs signing documents supporting Dr Mahathir last February 29 in an attempt to proved Pakatan Harapan still commands a majority in the Dewan Rakyat.

PH also released a list of the 114 MPs who signed in support of Dr Mahathir. In a Cabinet line-up announced by Muhyiddin yesterday, several MPs that were included in the list are Eddin, Ranau MP Jonathan Yasin, Selangau MP Baru Bian as well as Kota Marudu MP Maximus Ongkili.
