Soon after the historic 14th general election (GE14), the former prime minister’s home and other apartments linked to him were raided by the authorities.
He was then questioned by the anti graft agency twice to aid with investigations leading to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal. Most recently, his stepson Riza Aziz was also called into the MACC’s headquarters today for questioning relating to the scandal.
