00:00The Prime Minister's office has denied claims that Anwar Ibrahim instructed the Malaysian

00:05Anti-Corruption Commission to investigate Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, his sons, and Daim Zainudin.

00:13According to Bloomberg, the PMO also denied allegations that Anwar directed MACC chief

00:18Azam Baki not to investigate share purchases involving Anwar's former political secretary

00:23Farhashuafa Salvador.

00:27Quoting sources, Bloomberg had reported that Azam told MACC officials that instructions

00:32to investigate Mahathir and his sons, as well as Daim, a former finance minister, had come

00:37from Anwar himself.

00:39Azam's office also denied the Bloomberg report, saying that MACC operates independently

00:46and can investigate corruption without needing permission from anyone, including the Prime

00:50Minister.

00:51Mahathir's sons, Mirza and Moghzani, previously said they were not under investigation but

00:57were required to declare their assets due to their father's suspected actions.

01:02Earlier this year, Daim was charged under the MACC Act 2009 for failing to declare his

01:07ownership of numerous companies, properties and luxury vehicles.
