It was reported last week by Bernama that a Royal Malaysian Air Force helicopter ferrying the deputy prime minister was forced to make an emergency landing in Sabah.

Bernama also reported that the helicopter was being used to transport Muhyiddin, who is also deputy Umno president, to attend party meetings there.

Following this, a PKR Youth delegation lodged a complaint with the anti-graft agency.

Although Ramli was acquitted recently, an appeal has been filed by the prosecution.
