Anwar: Be it PM or ministers, action will be taken against any corrupt individuals


PUTRAJAYA: Action will be taken against any individuals, be it the prime minister or a minister, if they misappropriate public funds, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

"Whether you are the prime minister, finance minister or a minister, remember if you steal the country’s money or you cart away the country’s wealth, we have to take stern action (against you) to save the country," he said while launching the national Central Database Hub (Padu) on Tuesday (Jan 2).
