		</div><p>Former Malaysia prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin has been arrested, the country’s anti-corruption agency said.</p>
<p>He will be taken to court to face corruption charges, it added on Thursday.</p>
<p>Muhyiddin, who led Malaysia from March 2020 until August 2021, will be the country’s second leader to be indicted after leaving office.</p>
<p>Najib Razak was hit with multiple graft charges after losing a general election in 2018 and began a 12-year jail term in August after losing his final appeal in the first of several trials.</p>
<p>Muhyiddin will face several charges on Friday related to alleged abuse and money laundering linked to government projects awarded under his rule, the anti-corruption agency said.</p>
<p>The 75-year-old went to the agency earlier on Thursday to answer questions for the second time in three weeks.</p>
<p>He was first quizzed in February over the award of projects, including Covid economy aid programmes.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who took power after November’s general elections, had ordered a review of government projects approved by past administrations for allegedly not following the rules.</p>
<p>Two senior leaders from Muhyiddin’s Bersatu party were also recently charged with graft.</p>
<p>The anti-corruption agency froze Bersatu’s bank accounts for investigations into alleged illegal proceedings.</p>
<p>Muhyiddin, who leads a strong Islamic-dominated opposition, has denied any wrongdoing and accused Mr Anwar’s government of trying to crush the opposition ahead of state elections.</p>
