KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim says he will wait for the outcome of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) probe before deciding to apologise to Perikatan Nasional chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin over the RON95 fuel subsidy issue.
Anwar however, said the MCMC was still verifying all the sources related to the alleged claim that Muhyiddin (PN-Pagoh) had defended the rights of foreigners in the RON95 fuel subsidy targeting issue.
"I have brought this matter to the attention of MCMC to gather all the explanations.
"And I have no problem, if it is not verified, I have no problem.
"We shall wait for the outcome of MCMC's investigation first," he told Datuk Rosol Wahid (PN-Hulu Terengganu) during the Minister's Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat on Thursday (Aug 14).
Rosol had asked whether the Prime Minister was prepared to amend laws related to fake news and apologise to Muhyiddin involving the claims he had defended foreigners in the RON95 fuel subsidy targeting scheme.
Muhyiddin, who is also a former prime minister, denied via a social media post that he had ever made any statement suggesting he was defending the rights of foreigners in the RON95 subsidy targeting matter.
