Malaysia`s former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has been arrested and will be brought to court to face corruption charges, the anti-graft agency said Thursday.
Muhyiddin, who led Malaysia from March 2020 until August 2021, will be the country`s second leader to be indicted after leaving office.
Ex-Prime Minister Najib Razak was hit with multiple graft charges after he lost in 2018 general elections, and began a 12-year jail term in August after losing his final appeal in the first of several trials.
