Several police reports were lodged against Muhyiddin Yassin for purportedly questioning the role of Malaysia ’s king in the formation of the government following the 15th General Election in November 2022.
“We are calling to provide his statement on Aug 20 to facilitate investigations,” Malaysia’s Inspector General of Police Razarudin Husain was quoted as saying by state news agency Bernama, adding that 29 reports have been lodged against the former premier. “But I don’t know how the king at the time did not invite me to the palace to be sworn in. Who was the king at the time? Pahang,” said Muhyiddin, referring to Pahang’s Sultan Abdullah.
“The statement seems immature, reflecting his inability to accept that he was not appointed as Prime Minister,” he said, adding that the remarks incited distrust in the Malay royal institution. In February last year, Sultan Abdullah said that he had given ample room for elected Members of Parliament to work together and find a consensus based on the principles of unity for the future of the country.
Sultan Abdullah was quoted by the Star then that he had no intention of interfering in national politics and that he was only carrying out his duties as king. The move saw more than 30 MPs in the ruling Pakatan Harapan alliance defecting, bringing it down after it had been in charge for just 22 months.Muhyiddin’s comments on Aug 15 were made in the lead-up to the Nenggiri by-election that was held on Aug 17.
