KUALA LUMPUR -- Former Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin was charged with six counts of corruption at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court on Friday. He is the focus of a scandal involving a total of 232.5 million ringgit ($51.41 million) as the president of the Bersatu party.
The 76-year-old politician heads the opposition coalition Perikatan Nasional and was one of the hopefuls for the prime minister post during the November general election.
