“I do not know specifically, but I have been informed there are investigations involving those in the Opposition and government bloc.
“I do not know their positions. I only asked the authorities, who confirmed that there were investigations.
“Whether prosecution will be made or not, is up to the authorities, the Attorney-General’s Chambers,” he said during the Prime Minister’s Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat.
Anwar was responding to Rantau Panjang MP Datuk Siti Zailah Mohd Yusoff from Perikatan Nasional Opposition who wanted to know if government lawmakers were being investigated for anything so that there can be no dispute about selective prosecution
