PUTRAJAYA: The evening meeting involving Perikatan Nasional component party leaders led by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin ended at 7pm evening on Wednesday (Aug 11).
It is understood that Perikatan leaders who were huddled up at the Prime Minister’s Office at Perdana Putra since 5pm, left quietly in a different exit located at the other side of the building, in a bid to avoid press members.
Among the leaders who were involved in the meeting were Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan, Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong, and Sarawak chief minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.
Perikatan sources, contacted after the meeting, remain tightlipped about the outcome of the meeting.
The agenda of the meeting is supposedly on Perikatan’s majority after 14 Umno MPs retracted support for Perikatan.
Press members have been waiting outside Perdana Putra from 3.30pm on Wednesday, as developments at the PMO are being closely monitored.
Perikatan’s legitimacy as the government is currently being tested after 14 Umno MPs retracted support for Muhyiddin as Prime Minister.
