KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said prosecutions in the alleged Sabah mining licence scandal were carried out based on “sufficient facts” provided by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). He said MACC pursued only cases that could be substantiated in law, while other claims in whistleblower videos were deemed hearsay.

All three pleaded not guilty. The court set Aug 5 for pre-trial case management.
