<h2>The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has confirmed that they are currently investigating the son of a former prime minister over allegations of corruption committed in the 1990s</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>According to <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.bharian.com.my/berita/nasional/2024/01/1201570/anak-bekas-perdana-menteri-disiasat-sprm">Berita Harian</a>, the investigation is believed to be related to a business he owned in the late &#8217;90s that was subsequently acquired by a subsidiary of a government-linked company.</p>
<p>The acquisition, which was in line with the country&#8217;s privatisation policy at the time, allegedly resulted in him earning hundreds of millions of ringgit, as per sources cited by the daily.</p>
<p>The sources also claimed that the man was listed in the so-called Offshore Leaks.</p>
<p>&#8220;However, it could not be confirmed if the MACC is also looking into allegations made in the document,&#8221; they said.</p>
<p>Offshore Leaks is a 2013 report that discloses information of 130,000 offshore accounts. It provides in-depth details on the personal financial affairs of individuals and government officials that were previously concealed from public scrutiny.</p>
