“Many Bersatu members have contacted me to ask what the real situation is. Although it burdens me to come forward to explain what is an internal party matter, I feel responsible in doing so given the widespread slander against Tan Sri Muhyiddin by irresponsible parties,” he said. “I was present at the meeting where Tan Sri Muhyiddin generally advised him that based on the Johor State Constitution, the mentri besar has the right to advise His Highness the Sultan on the formation of the exco,” he said.
The second point Marzuki raised was the fact that Muhyiddin was abroad when the Cabinet decided the Johor state exco cannot be reshuffled, adding that Muhyiddin was not informed of this. Marzuki then addressed the claim that Muhyiddin had an audience with Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar on April 21, supposedly to inform His Highness of the names of the Johor state exco members.
