Don't spell my name as Mahiaddin, Muhyiddin tells Election Commission


GAMBIR: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has called on the Election Commission (EC) to make sure it gets his name correct.

The request was made by the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia president, after it was discovered that the spelling of his name in the EC website was that of his MyKad (IC) - 'Mahiaddin Bin Md Yassin', and not 'Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin', which he had chosen to use on the ballot paper.
