PUTRAJAYA – Agriculture and Food Industries Minister Datuk Seri Ronald Kiandee today dismissed speculation over Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s future as the head of government.

This comes amid reports that Muhyiddin was considering his options, including quitting the top government post, as questions persist over whether he commands a majority in Parliament.

“Haven’t heard such a rumour,” he said when asked about the viral message claiming that Muhyiddin, who is also Bersatu president, will tender his resignation effective today.

Ronald, who is also Bersatu vice-president, was met after attending the Agriculture and Food Industries Ministry’s Prihatin programme here.

He said Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) component parties will continue giving undivided support to Muhyiddin to lead the government.

Speculation grew after PN leaders yesterday attended a two-hour meeting with Muhyiddin at his office. – Bernama, Aug 12, 2021
