On Monday, March 13, 2021, opposition parties will gather to discuss former Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's innocent plea for the seventh corruption charge faced against him. The charge alleges he received 5 million ringgit ($1.1 million) illegally, banked into his political party. Muhyiddin has vehemently denied the accusations of wrongdoing, claiming that the case is "organized political persecution" and is used to embarrass and weaken his Islamic-dominated opposition before state elections. He has rejected all allegations of abuse of power, such as awarding contracts to select individuals.
