PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin is expected to chair a meeting with leaders of Perikatan Nasional parties on Wednesday (Aug 11) evening.

While the agenda of the meeting is unknown, it is believed the meeting would discuss, among others, Umno's retraction of support for Perikatan.

Aside from Muhyiddin - who is the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia president - leaders from PAS, Gerakan, the Sabah Progressive Party and Sabah STAR are expected to attend.

The meeting is expected to be held at the Prime Minister's Office at 5pm.

It is learnt that this is an unscheduled meeting and the party leaders were informed on Tuesday (Aug 10).

On Aug 4, Umno made public a list of its 14 lawmakers who no longer supported Muhyiddin and the Perikatan government.

The list of names was in a letter signed by Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi that was presented to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

PKR has also sent a letter representing all its 35 MPs to the King, opposing Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's leadership, says its communications director Fahmi Fadzil.
