Muhyiddin ‘forced’ PM to call for snap polls, says Zahid


PETALING JAYA: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin is responsible for forcing the hands of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob to call for snap polls, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic).

The Barisan Nasional chairman said Ismail Sabri could have sacked the 12 Perikatan ministers for writing the letter to the King but did not do so to avoid "a bigger tragedy".
