Don't Take the Money

It's emerged in Malaysia that the jailed former Deputy Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, is being investigated for financial corruption, following allegations that he amassed a secret fund worth hundreds-of-millions of dollars.

The allegations were made in a statement yesterday by a former Assistant Governor of the Central Bank, who's himself charged with financial impropriety.

During his current trial for sodomy, Mr Anwar had accused his opponents in government, including several serving ministers, of corruption.
