PERMATANG PAUH - Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today stressed that he is willing to cooperate, even to be investigated by any relevant authorities if he is suspected to be involved in corruption.

He said after seven months of holding the highest office in the country, no special privileges were given to his family.

"If I’m suspected of being involved in corruption, amassing money to enrich Wan Azizah, Nurul Izzah and my other children, report it (to the authorities),” he said at a Qurban ceremony before joining the congregants for Friday prayers at Masjid Jamek An-Nur Guar Perahu, Seberang Perai Tengah, here today.

At the same time, Anwar reiterated that he bears no grudges against anyone and neither had he directed the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to investigate any individuals involved in corruption now.

"If anyone is being investigated by the MACC, that’s MACC doing its job. I did not order it,” he said.
