PETALING JAYA: The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has denied allegations by a website that Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin (pic) breached the mandatory 14-day self-quarantine to seek medical treatment for cancer abroad.

The PMO, in a strongly-worded statement on Tuesday (June 16), described the allegations by the Sarawak Report as “baseless and malicious”, saying the Prime Minister had undergone self-quarantine beginning May 22 following a post-Cabinet meeting where an officer later tested positive for Covid-19.
