He said that if these individuals are proven to have committed such offences, they will be arrested and charged.
“Don’t misunderstand, I don’t choose - it’s not my job to investigate, nor do I pass judgment.
“If reports are received, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission conducts investigations, and for criminal cases, it’s the police responsibility to take action and investigate.
“The investigation results are then submitted to the Attorney General and if there’s a strong case, prosecution will be initiated where these individuals are given the opportunity to defend themselves before a Judge decides,” he said.

The Prime Minister said this explanation was necessary to counter perceptions of personal vendettas in legal actions.
For this reason, he urged the public to elect leaders of integrity.
