Wife said yes, so I will stay on as president for one final term, says Muhyiddin


SHAH ALAM: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has agreed to stay on another term as Bersatu president after receiving blessings from his wife.

He said this in his closing speech at Bersatu’s 6th AGM held on Saturday (Nov 25) at IDCC here.

"My wife texted me "Stay another term. They need you". I replied, "I know, so?" and she said, "Carry on"

"I then agreed to stay on for the last term, to which she replied, ‘This is for the nation. Abah must stay on’," said Muhyiddin.

This was greeted with happy shouts and screams from the thousands of Bersatu delegates present.

The announcement by Muhyiddin on Friday (Nov 24) not to defend his post at the next party polls hovered over the AGM, which drew to a close on Saturday.
