Overall due diligence
High complexity
Enhanced due diligence required
The records show senior office (Prime Minister 2020–2021, Deputy Prime Minister 2009–2015) together with reported unresolved corruption and money-laundering charges and a scheduled trial, so enhanced due diligence is warranted.
Electoral resilience
High
Won Pagoh at every recorded general election from 1978 to 2022 and the Johor state seats of Bukit Serampang (1986, 1990) and Gambir (2018). Early margins were large and narrowed in 2018 and 2022 but remained comfortable.
Political continuity
High change
Party and coalition path runs from UMNO/BN to BERSATU under Pakatan Harapan and then Perikatan Nasional. The records note his sacking by UMNO in 2016 and his removal as Deputy Prime Minister in 2015.
Integrity signal
Concern
Reported formal charges of corruption and money laundering in early 2023 and a March 2023 MACC arrest on money-laundering and abuse-of-power counts. No conviction appears in the records and the case was scheduled to proceed from March 2026; a 2021 preventive detention order he signed was reversed by the Shah Alam court.
Financial / corporate
Open
The records contain no company-registry (SSM), GLC, asset, credit or court-registry checks. Corporate and financial exposure therefore cannot be assessed from them.
How much due-diligence attention each area needs — not a finding of wrongdoing.
Held Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and several senior ministerial and assembly posts, so is a domestic PEP by office.
Long parliamentary tenure since 1978, state assembly seat, party presidency and co-founding of BERSATU, with documented ties to Mahathir Mohamad and Najib Razak.
Documented portfolios with a procurement interface (Home Affairs 2018–2020, Prime Minister 2020–2021), though the records record no procurement findings.
No company, GLC or foundation role is recorded.
Reported pending corruption and money-laundering charges with trial scheduled from March 2026, plus the 2021 reversal of a preventive detention order he signed.
Reported charges and a MACC arrest appear on record, with no conviction and a court reversal of the 2021 detention order.
No asset declarations, financial statements or registry checks appear in the records.
Reported controversies over the 17 November 2022 campaign remark about 'Christianising the country' and the 31 March 2010 'Malay first' statement.
Muhyiddin is reported to have been formally charged with corruption and money laundering in early 2023 and arrested by the MACC in March 2023 as part of an investigation into several counts of money laundering and abuse of power.N23N24N22
Status: Pending — on 10 November 2025 the court scheduled the case to proceed from March 2026; no conviction appears in the records.
The Shah Alam court reversed a preventive detention order he had signed while Minister of Home Affairs, on the ground that he signed it using the unofficial name Muhyiddin bin Mohd Yassin instead of his legal name Mahiaddin bin Md Yasin.N21N8
Status: Order reversed on 2 April 2021; the matter as recorded ended there.
The records show a very long parliamentary and ministerial career, including Prime Minister 2020–2021 and Deputy Prime Minister 2009–2015, with continuous election wins in Pagoh from 1978 to 2022. They also record reported corruption and money-laundering charges from 2023, an MACC arrest, and a trial scheduled from March 2026, alongside a 2021 court reversal of a preventive detention order he signed as Home Minister. Party affiliation moved from UMNO/BN to BERSATU under Pakatan Harapan and then Perikatan Nasional. Corporate, asset, credit and court-registry checks are not covered by the records, so financial and corporate exposure remains unassessed.

Sabah · Sabah election manifesto launch ('Kasi Bagus Sabah') · 2025
The promise was made at the Sabah election manifesto launch on 21 Nov 2025, committing RM2.5 million a year to assist 5,000 young people in the motorcycle delivery sector (maintenance, financing and insurance). The articles provided span November 2025 to October 2026, but none covers this pledge: they concern MCMC/Sabah digital infrastructure (article 0), UDA property outlook and its RM2.3 million SME programme (article 1), federal infrastructure spending comparisons for Sabah and Penang (article 2), and Budget 2027 agricultural, fisheries and smallholder aid (articles 3–5). With no reporting on delivery or any implementing step, the status cannot be determined.
Promised
“To assist youth, PN will allocate RM2.5 million a year in aid for 5,000 young people in the motorcycle delivery sector.”

Sabah · Sabah election manifesto launch ('Kasi Bagus Sabah') · 2025
Muhyiddin and PN pledged on 21 Nov 2025, at the 'Kasi Bagus Sabah' manifesto launch, to give Sabah students studying in Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak and Labuan RM1,000 a year in flight subsidies. The articles supplied do not report any implementation, funding, delay or cancellation of that RM1,000 annual pledge. Instead, they cover pre-existing and differently designed schemes: the Sabah government's RM600 one-off subsidy announced in March 2024 (article 0), and 2026 reports on the state's GRS/SUBFLY scheme (still RM600 per student, targeting 35,000 recipients) and the federal RM400 FlySiswa subsidy. Since no article clearly reports the promised RM1,000 annual subsidy's status, the record is unclear.
Promised
“For students studying outside Sabah, PN pledged RM1,000 in annual flight subsidies for students studying in Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak, and Labuan to reduce the cost of travelling home.”

Sabah · Sabah election manifesto launch ('Kasi Bagus Sabah') · 2025
PN pledged on 21 Nov 2025, during the Sabah election manifesto launch, to set up a RM300 million Sabah Education Fund over five years for rural children and B40 families. The articles retrieved do not report any delivery, funding approval or launch of that specific pledge. Article 0 (undated Bernama report) describes the pre-existing state-run TPNS, launched in 2022, which has distributed RM9.7 million in scholarships — a different, earlier initiative. Article 2 (5 Mar 2026) describes Sabah state government education aid of RM210.25 million across 14 initiatives plus a RM100 million state scholarship, again not the PN-pledged fund. Article 1 concerns the 40% special grant and is unrelated. With no reporting on the pledged fund itself, the status cannot be determined.
Promised
“PN also pledged RM300 million over five years for a Sabah Education Fund to help rural children and B40 families with access to education.”

Sabah · Sabah election manifesto launch ('Kasi Bagus Sabah') · 2025
On 21 Nov 2025, during the 'Kasi Bagus Sabah' manifesto launch in Putatan ahead of the 29 Nov Sabah election, Muhyiddin Yassin pledged Bantuan Prihatin Rakyat Sabah (BPRS) — RM4,800 a year in cash aid for hardcore poor and needy families, framed as an immediate intervention against the cost of living, especially in rural areas. He called it a real commitment PN would carry out "once given the mandate." No article in the set reports any post-election development: no allocation, no rollout, no payments, and no cancellation. Because the record contains no report of the scheme being delivered, started or abandoned, the status cannot be determined and is recorded as unclear.
Promised
“Cash aid of RM4,800 a year for poor families, RM1,000 in air travel subsidies for Sabahan students, a RM300 million education fund, and RM2.5 million a year for young people in motorcycle delivery services were among 159 pledges by Perikatan Nasional in its Sabah election manifesto with the theme “Kasi Bagus Sabah”.”

Sabah · PN pledge ahead of the upcoming Sabah state election (PRN Sabah) · 2025
Where it stands · latest report 6 Apr 2026
As of 6 April 2026, the Court of Appeal allowed the federal government to pause the review for the calculation and payment of Sabah's 40% revenue entitlement, pending an appeal that had not yet been fixed for hearing; the High Court's 180-day deadline of 15 April 2026 was stayed. No newer report on this was found (that report is more than six months old).
How it unfolded
On 14 September 2025, ahead of the Sabah state election, Muhyiddin Yassin pledged to restore Sabah's 40% share of federal revenue collected from the state. On 17 October 2025 the Kota Kinabalu High Court ruled the federal government had acted unlawfully in failing to honour Sabah's 40% entitlement for 1974–2021 and ordered a fresh review, with agreement due within 180 days; on 11 November 2025 the Attorney-General's Chambers said Putrajaya would not appeal and would start negotiations immediately. However, on 6 April 2026 the Court of Appeal granted the federal government a stay, pausing the calculation and payment process and freezing the 15 April 2026 deadline, with the appeal still unheard. The promised 40% return has therefore not been delivered and the process is currently suspended, which fits "stalled."
Promised
“Pada Jumaat lalu, Pengerusi Perikatan Nasional (PN), Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin berjanji untuk mengembalikan 40 peratus hasil Persekutuan yang diperoleh dari Sabah kepada kerajaan negeri sebagai salah satu komitmen utama dalam PRN akan datang.”
What happened
11 Nov 2025: Federal government dropped its appeal and agreed to begin negotiations with Sabah immediately.
Malaysiakini · 11 Nov 2025 — AGC: Govt will not appeal order to give Sabah 40pct revenue“Putrajaya will not appeal against the Kota Kinabalu High Court's ruling affirming Sabah's entitlement to a 40 percent share of federal revenue collected from the state.”

Federal · Nationally televised address offering bipartisan reforms · 2021
Where it stands · latest report 3 Sept 2026
As of 3 Sept 2026, the Federal Constitution (Amendment) (No. 1) Bill 2026 to cap the prime minister at two terms is drafted and "ready to return" to the Dewan Rakyat, but no vote has been scheduled — Law Minister Azalina Othman Said said whether it is put to a vote this session is up to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. The bill was rejected in March 2026 after getting 146 votes, two short of the 148 needed (32 MPs absent, 44 abstained), and no article reports any anti-party hopping bill being tabled.
How it unfolded
On 16 Aug 2021 Muhyiddin promised that, with two-thirds bipartisan support, the government would table a constitutional amendment capping a PM at two terms together with an anti-party hopping bill. Five years later, on 5 Jan 2026, PM Anwar announced the government would table a bill limiting the PM's tenure to 10 years or two terms. It was put to a vote on 2 Mar 2026 and failed — 146 in favour against the 148 required for two-thirds, with absences and abstentions deciding the outcome. Government leaders said it could be re-tabled at the sitting expected in June 2026, but by 3 Sept 2026 the bill was still sitting un-voted and awaiting Anwar's decision on whether to bring it back, and no deadline or date for a fresh vote has been set. The legislation is therefore stuck rather than abandoned or formally cancelled, and the promised anti-party hopping bill never appears in any report.
Promised
“If there is a majority of two-thirds bipartisan support, the government will table a constitutional amendment bill to limit the prime minister’s time in office to only two terms as well as an anti-party hopping bill.”
What happened
5 Jan 2026: PM Anwar announces the government will table a PM term-limit bill in the coming session
Free Malaysia Today · 5 Jan 2026 — Govt to table bill on limiting PM’s term“Anwar, who is also finance minister, said the bill would ensure that the tenure of the prime minister does not exceed 10 years or two terms.”
17 Mar 2026: the amendment was voted down on 2 Mar 2026, falling two votes short of two-thirds; report says it may be tabled again in June
Free Malaysia Today · 17 Mar 2026 — PM term limit debate and the challenge of constitutional reform“The proposal, introduced by the government led by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, received 146 votes in favour but fell short of the 148 votes required to achieve the two-thirds majority needed to amend the Federal Constitution.”
3 Sept 2026: both bills are ready to return but Azalina says a vote depends on Anwar; no schedule set
The Vibes · 3 Sept 2026 — Anwar holds key to revival of two constitutional reform bills“She said the Federal Constitution (Amendment) (No. 1) Bill 2026, which seeks to limit the Prime Minister’s tenure, and the Federal Constitution (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2026, aimed at separating the powers of the Attorney-General and Public Prosecutor, both require a two-thirds majority in the Dewan Rakyat.”

Federal · Nationally televised address offering bipartisan reforms · 2021
On 16 Aug 2021, Muhyiddin promised RM10 billion in cash assistance to 11 million recipients for the second half of 2021. The articles supplied never report on that specific package — not its launch, its disbursement, or its cancellation. The only 2021 cash-assistance figures that appear come much later: an Oct 2024 report states BPR under Muhyiddin totalled RM6.5 billion under Budget 2021, and a Jul 2026 statement puts BPR 2021 at RM6.5 billion for 8.5 million recipients. Those describe a separate, earlier-announced programme, so it cannot be determined from these articles whether the RM10 billion / 11 million recipient promise was delivered in H2 2021.

On 16 Aug 2021, Muhyiddin promised to table a proposal in Parliament to lift the Covid-19 Fund ceiling from RM65 billion to RM110 billion. On 19 Sep 2021, the Finance Minister said the government's proposal would be implemented immediately once Parliament approved it. On 22 Sep 2021, the Deputy Finance Minister II said the Ministry of Finance would table the proposal in the current parliamentary session, citing payment commitments of RM91.8 billion against the RM65 billion already approved. No subsequent article in the set reports the tabling's outcome, the vote, or the gazetted new ceiling, so it cannot be confirmed whether the ceiling was actually raised.

Where it stands · latest report 10 Mar 2026
As of 10 March 2026 (the most recent article touching on the 15th general election; no newer report on this promise was found), GE15 was held in November 2022 — on 19 November 2022, according to an earlier September 2025 report — roughly four months after the July 2022 deadline Muhyiddin had set. Several states also pushed their own assembly polls to August 2023 to avoid year-end floods.
How it unfolded
On 16 August 2021 Muhyiddin promised, in a nationally televised address offering bipartisan reforms, to call the 15th general election no later than July 2022 if bipartisan support let the government keep managing the pandemic. The election was not held by that date: reporting in September 2025 and March 2026 records that GE15 took place on 19 November 2022, and that six states deferred their state elections to 12 August 2023 over flood fears. The July 2022 deadline therefore passed without an election being called, and the vote came about four months late — and under a different prime minister — so the date-specific commitment was not delivered.
Promised
““This motion of confidence vote can only be passed with bipartisan support in the Dewan Rakyat,” he said, adding that he promised to hold the next general election no later than July 2022.”
What happened
21 Sep 2025: confirms GE15 was held on 19 Nov 2022, i.e. after the July 2022 deadline.
Free Malaysia Today · 21 Sept 2025 — Hold 11 state polls, GE16 concurrently, says Loke“The 15th general election (GE15) was held on Nov 19, 2022, but Penang, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah delayed their respective state elections for fear of floods at the end of the year.”
10 Mar 2026 (latest reference found): restates GE15 was held in November 2022, months past the promised July 2022 date.
Free Malaysia Today · 10 Mar 2026 — Hold GE16 with all state polls to ensure true representation, say MPs“While the 15th general election (GE15) was held in November 2022, about a year before the parliamentary term’s expiry, six state governments decided to postpone their state polls, citing concerns that potential flooding during the year-end monsoon season could disrupt the elections.”

Federal · Maiden televised speech before unveiling the new cabinet · 2020
On 2 March 2020, in his maiden televised address after being sworn in as the 8th Prime Minister, Muhyiddin Yassin promised to appoint cabinet ministers who are clean, have integrity and are capable, and to prioritise anti-corruption and good governance. The pledge was reported the same day by Malaysiakini and again by Bernama on 3 March 2020. However, none of the articles provided reports the subsequent cabinet line-up, any MACC or police vetting of ministers, or any reversal, so the promise's delivery cannot be established from the supplied material. The status is therefore unclear rather than fulfilled, partial or broken.
