On a police report by Bersatu Youth on Friday, the Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman said he has no issue with being investigated and is confident he has solid evidence related to the powers given to him by the MPs to form a government.

“I hope the authorities, whether the police, the Registrar of Societies or the attorney-general, can conduct the investigation.

“The 10 MPs who signed the SDs did so to delegate the power to form the government to the BN chairman,” he said after the People’s Progressive Party (myPPP) annual general meeting here.

Last Friday, Bersatu Youth chairman Akmal Zahin Zainal Zahir filed a police report against Zahid, who previously said he had 30 SDs from BN MPs backing Anwar Ibrahim as prime minister.

Akmal urged the authorities to investigate whether there was any deception or attempt to mislead the Yang di-Pertuan Agong during the appointment of the prime minister after GE15.

The issue of the SDs was reignited by Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Muhyiddin Yassin during the Nenggiri by-election campaign last month when he claimed he had 115 SDs from MPs.

However, Muhyiddin said he was not invited by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to take the oath as prime minister.

Previously, Zahid explained that the Bersatu president did not have sufficient support because 10 out of the 115 MPs had overlapping signatures, involving both BN and PN.

On Aug 24, Muhyiddin was charged with sedition in the Gua Musang sessions court under Section 4(1)(b) of the Sedition Act 1948.
