KUALA LUMPUR – Senior International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali alleged that he witnessed a discussion between then-prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and a leader who sought the Bersatu president’s intervention in court cases.
In a National Recovery Council (NRC) dialogue held in Johor Baru today, Azmin said he was witness to the entire discussion between the said leader and Muhyiddin at the Pagoh MP’s house.
“I witnessed the entire discussion in Muhyiddin’s house, where he told this particular person that he will not intervene in the judiciary process. Muhyiddin told the leader to face the trials in court if he’s innocent.”
Also present at the NRC dialogue were Muhyiddin and Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Economy) Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed.
Azmin, who is also Gombak MP, said Muhyiddin’s refusal to intervene in court affairs shows that he is a respectable leader, saying “our country and its economy are in safe hands with leaders like this”.
In a live telecast on August 4 last year, Muhyiddin revealed there were unnamed individuals who were unhappy with him for not entertaining some of their demands, which include intervening in their trials.
While he did not mention names then, several MPs from Umno, which was previously a coalition ally in Muhyiddin’s Perikatan Nasional (PN) government, are currently facing court charges.
