Muhyiddin's GE15 remarks unbecoming of a veteran politician, Anwar says in lawsuit


KUALA LUMPUR: A veteran politician and former prime minister like Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin should have known it was undesirable to make potentially inflammatory public statements that could spread feelings of ill will during GE15, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (pic).

In his reply to Muhyiddin’s defence statement against his defamation suit, the Prime Minister and Pakatan Harapan chairman claimed that Muhyiddin had distorted the truth and disseminated falsehoods in respect of his salary as the Selangor government economic adviser, more so when this had been publicly rebutted by Anwar years ago.
