"Bersatu needs the funds to finance the state election campaigns for upcoming six state elections.
"Let's hope that this not a political move from the Pakatan Harapan (PH)-Barisan Nasional (BN) government to cripple Bersatu and PN machineries in this upcoming state elections," he said at a press conference after the coalition's member of parliament retreat at a hotel here on Thursday.
Sinar on Wednesday had reported that Bersatu's accounts were frozen after the party disclosed its accounts statement to the public.
It was confirmed by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki.
He said the party's accounts were frozen two weeks prior to facilitate the investigations being made according to the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act.
It was reported that the party's accounts had been frozen in relation to MACC's investigations towards the former government's stimulus funds amounting to RM92.5 billion which was allegedly misappropriated.
