Former Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin arrived at the anti-graft agency office on Thursday for a second time in a matter of weeks over alleged corruption in the awarding of government projects under his rule.

A large crowd of supporters gathered outside the agency building amid speculation that he might be arrested and charged for graft. In a Facebook statement hours earlier, Muhyiddin, 75, denied rumours that he was arrested Wednesday on a golf course.

He said he has been called to the anti-graft agency but didn’t say why. If Muhyiddin is charged, he will be the second former leader to be indicted after leaving office.
