KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 23 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim alleged today that some of the statutory declarations that opposition leader Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin cited as proof that he had majority support to form a government were signed by the same lawmakers multiple times.
Anwar was rebutting Muhyiddin’s allegation that the latter had the backing of 115 members of parliament in a speech made during the Nenggiri by-election recently.
“Some of the SDs were actually signed a few times by the same MPs,” he told reporters in a brief press conference held after lunching at the Gertak Merah stall in Kampung Sungai Penchala here.
Muhyiddin’s party Bersatu lost the seat to Barisan Nasional by over 3,000 votes, in what was seen as a major blow to the Malay opposition party.
