Message circulating saying PM has meeting with PN leaders
A message went viral recently saying that Mahiaddin reportedly had a meeting with PN party leaders at the Perdana Petra building.
According to Sinar Harian, the Prime Minister is also scheduled to meet with Sabah and Sarawak political leaders in Kuala Lumpur.
Speaker denies PM has lost support
Earlier today, the Yang di-Pertua Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun denied that he had informed Mahiaddin that the government had lost its majority.
In a statement, the Speaker said a viral message which claimed that he did so is untrue and false. The portal which had been referred to in the viral message had also denied publishing any such report.
I deny the news report and want to add that I did not issue any letters to the Prime Minister as stated. The news is fake news.
