PUTRAJAYA – Several Umno ministers met Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin at Perdana Putra here today.
It is learnt that the meeting began at 5.30pm and lasted more than one hour. Cars ferrying the ministers were seen leaving the Prime Minister’s Office complex at 6.45pm.
Among those seen exiting the building were Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (Bera MP) and Energy and Natural Resources Minister Datuk Seri Shamsul Anuar Nasarah (Lenggong MP).
A car carrying Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba (Tenggara MP) was also seen leaving the place.
Attempts by journalists to get comments from the ministers were futile, as the leaders did not stop their vehicles to speak to the press.
The ministers’ meeting with Muhyiddin comes just a day after Umno announced an end to its political cooperation with Bersatu at its general assembly in Kuala Lumpur.
Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi yesterday said the motion to sever ties with Bersatu was approved by delegates at the assembly.
Muhyiddin is Bersatu president and ruling Perikatan Nasional coalition chairman.
The assembly also approved a motion for the 42 Umno and Barisan Nasional MPs to stop supporting the PN government once Parliament is dissolved. – Bernama, March 29, 2021
