Muhyiddin: Najib nodded his head when I asked if my name was out


KUALA LUMPUR: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin could sense that his former boss had “something difficult” to tell him when the two met just before the Prime Minister announced the Cabinet reshuffle, which saw him being removed as deputy prime minister.

Speaking at a packed media conference in his house at Bukit Damansara yesterday after he was dropped from the administration, Muhyiddin said he was attending a function on Tuesday when the Prime Minister’s Office called and said that Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak wanted to see him at his office at 11.30am.
