KUALA LUMPUR, May 31 (Reuters) - A former aide to Malaysian fugitive Jho Low - wanted for his central role in the multi-billion dollar 1MDB corruption scandal - has died weeks after being questioned by Malaysian authorities on Low's whereabouts, his lawyers said on Wednesday. He was questioned by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on arrival and had his house searched, media reported. Malaysian authorities have previously said Low was believed to be in China, though Beijing has denied that. Low has been charged in Malaysia and the United States for allegedly masterminding the theft of $4.5 billion from now-defunct fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). Former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak, who co-founded 1MDB, was sentenced to 12 years in prison last year for graft linked to the scandal.

KUALA LUMPUR, May 27 (Reuters) - Malaysia's state oil firm Petronas (PETR.UL) said on Saturday an anti-corruption probe into the firm's dealings involving a $90 million project had not found any wrongdoing by the company. Petronas said the investigation was opened in relation to its award of a contract to a Malaysian subsidiary of an international upstream company in 2021. "Petronas had given full cooperation to MACC in the investigation that had not found any wrongdoing by Petronas, its employees, and directors," the company said in a statement to Reuters. The MACC said it had found "several weaknesses in practices, systems and work procedures" in its probe, and proposed improvements to Petronas' standard operating procedures as preventive measures. Petronas said it continues to improve and strengthen its standard operating procedures as part of an effort to prevent and fight all forms of corruption and misconduct.

Malaysia's anti-corruption agency on Thursday said it would charge former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin with multiple counts of corruption, a move that he called political persecution. Speaking to reporters, Muhyiddin said he would face seven charges on Friday. "I stress that I am not guilty and I will face all charges against me in court ... This action is political persecution because they fear the strength of Perikatan Nasional," Muhyiddin said, referring to his opposition alliance.

REUTERS/Hasnoor HussainKUALA LUMPUR, March 9 (Reuters) - Former Malaysian prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin arrived at the country's anti-graft agency on Thursday, after he was summoned to appear following allegations of abuse in stimulus programmes launched under his premiership. Before entering the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Muhyiddin, who was prime minister for 17 months between 2020 and 2021, read out a prayer with other party members. Malaysia's constitutional monarch, King Al-Sultan Abdullah, then appointed Anwar as prime minister after he formed a coalition with other political parties. The MACC questioned Muhyiddin last month regarding the same project and has also frozen bank accounts belonging to Muhyiddin's party.
