00:00Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said investigations and legal proceedings involving former Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan
00:11should be left to the relevant authorities including the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, MACC, and the Attorney General's Chambers, AGC.
00:21He was responding to reporters' questions after Friday prayers at Masjid Sembilang in Butterworth, Penang, about a letter Saravanan had
00:29sent to him concerning the case.
00:32Anwar said the matter was no longer his concern once it had reached that stage.

00:46his position.

00:55.097 million ringgit linked to the approval of foreign worker quotas.
