"Now that the probe has started, I want to see the truth and vindication come out of this investigation. Malaysia deserves nothing less," she said.
Hannah added that it would not be appropriate for her to comment further on the issue as it might be construed as interference with ongoing investigations.
"For this reason, I had refrained from commenting earlier. In my view, the best way forward in dealing with such claims is to allow the relevant authorities to investigate them.
"I want to thank all who have reached out to me in solidarity," she said.

It was reported yesterday that the MACC has initiated investigations into the awarding of a contract to a firm linked to Hannah's husband, following new leads received from several complaints.
According to sources, the MACC received new complaints regarding the appointment of a minister's husband to provide proof of concept for a transportation project by the Selangor government.
