The government is committed to a thorough investigation into the approval processes that led to these losses.

Anwar Ibrahim expressed full support for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (SPRM) as it launches its inquiry into the alleged organized fraud. He emphasized that the investigation must scrutinize not only potential corruption but also the investment procedures and decisions made by KWAP's investment panel and board.
