Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has shot down Johor Umno's proposal for him to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of state menteri besar Osman Sapian.
"That call came from Umno. They think they have the right and power to name me. I don't think so.
"I was the menteri besar before, and I do not think it is appropriate for me to come back.
"But I am ready to help," he told a press conference after an official visit to the Maritime Institute Agency airbase in Subang this afternoon.
Muhyiddin was responding to Johor opposition leader Hasni Mohammad saying yesterday that he would seek an audience with Johor ruler Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar to put forth two recommendations for the vacant menteri besar post.
The first of these would be to make Muhyiddin the menteri besar, or for the ruler to dissolve the Johor Legislative Assembly to pave the way for fresh polls in the state.
