IPOH – Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad has denied making a statement that he would not hesitate to make a “big” decision if Negri Sembilan is not led by a menteri besar from Barisan Nasional (BN).

“I was told that this false statement is being spread on social media. I have never made such a statement. My advice, stop this politics of slander and hatred.

“The general and state elections are over; the people’s representatives have been elected.

“This is the time for us to work for the people,” he said in a Facebook post yesterday.

A poster has been circulating on social media, stating, “This unity must be supported by justice. BN won the most seats in Negeri Sembilan”.

Meanwhile, Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail also denied the allegation that he had questioned the appointment of the Negri Sembilan menteri besar as viral on social media.

Wan Rosdy, who is also Umno vice-president, described the irresponsible act as a means to taint his image and disrupt the cooperation between BN and Pakatan Harapan (PH).

“Enough of 24-hour politics and stop spreading hateful slander that can damage our harmony and unity,” he said in a Facebook post.

Earlier, Negri Sembilan PH chairman Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun, who defended the Sikamat seat in the state election on Saturday, was sworn in as Negri Sembilan menteri besar for the second term. – Bernama, August 15, 2023
