Perikatan supporters rally in support of Muhyiddin outside KL court complex

KUALA LUMPUR: A group of Perikatan Nasional supporters have gathered outside the Kuala Lumpur court complex here in a show of support for coalition chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

The former prime minister is expected to face six charges involving four counts of abuse of power and two counts of money laundering at the Sessions Court here.

The supporters could be seen wearing T-shirts with the slogan "Kami bersama Abah (We are with Abah)".

They continued to chant and give speeches at the entrance to the court complex as Muhyiddin made his way inside.

They said Muhyiddin's expected charges were made with malicious intent and cruelty towards the Opposition coalition.

Earlier, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) deputy president Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu was seen with the group outside the gate while other Perikatan leaders, including Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali and Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin were seen inside.
