Anwar's 'clean government' claim gives perception ongoing corruption cases will be dropped, says Syed Saddiq

PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's claim that his ministers are not involved in corruption creates a perception that court cases involving Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and others will be dropped, says Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.

"The country's structure is that the Prime Minister appoints the Attorney General and chief commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), who indirectly monitor and control the bodies, giving the impression that the ongoing cases will be dropped.
