In August 2018, the Pakatan Harapan seventh cabinet of Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamed canceled a CPP project in Malaysia, accusing it of participating in corruption.[5] The company denied the allegations. At the time, the project paid for by the Malaysian government, was only 13% incomplete, but the money paid corresponded with a project that was close to 80% complete. In July 2019, Malaysian authorities seized $243.5M from China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering to compensate for the paid for but unfinished pipelines.[6]
