Art Harun 'dead wrong', Muhyiddin desired to be PM, claims Kit Siang


PETALING JAYA: Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun is “dead wrong” to say Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin never asked for the prime minister’s post, says DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang.

"I should know because he asked for my support in a cloak-and-dagger meeting at Le Meridien Hotel in Kuala Lumpur in 2016 but I declined to do so because DAP was committed to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim being the prime minister," said Lim in a statement on Saturday (July 30).
