PUTRAJAYA:
Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin will not be resigning any time soon, said agriculture and food industries minister Ronald Kiandee today, dismissing all such speculation.

“Haven’t heard of such a rumour,” he said when asked about the viral message claiming that Muhyiddin, who is also Bersatu president, will tender his resignation effective today.

Kiandee, who is also Bersatu vice-president, was among the Perikatan Nasional MPs who had attended a two-hour meeting with Muhyiddin at his office yesterday.

Speaking to the media after attending his ministry’s Prihatin programme here, he said the PN component parties would continue giving undivided support to Muhyiddin to lead the government.

Special functions minister Redzuan Yusof has also rubbished speculations about the prime minister quitting.

“There’s no such thing. The PM is not resigning today. After the Cabinet meeting that day, all component party heads reiterated their support for the prime minister.

“I know Muhyiddin, he will not abandon his responsibility to the country. There are proper processes and procedures to challenge the PM’s support and that is through Parliament, so we will see what happens then.”
