Blaming Najib for failure to become PM is slander, says Annuar


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should stop blaming Datuk Seri Najib Razak over his failure to be prime minister in Sept 2020, as it can be deemed as slander, said Umno’s Ketereh MP Tan Sri Annuar Musa.

Annuar said the Port Dickson MP’s failed bid at premiership was because he failed to convince the Yang di-Pertuan Agong in Oct 2020 that he had enough numbers to replace Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as the then prime minister.
