Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin was flanked by Deputy Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob and other cabinet ministers during his televised address today.
The other cabinet members on camera were Wee Ka Siong, Maximus Ongkili, Radzi Jidin, Fadillah Yusof, Azmin Ali, M Saravanan and Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man.
Also present was Chief Secretary to the Government Zuki Ali.
The line-up appeared to be in response to a similar line-up displayed by Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi during a press conference yesterday.
Zahid had announced that the prime minister had lost his majority, while Muhyiddin claimed otherwise.
Besides Ismail Sabri, it is not clear whether the other Umno ministers who were not on camera today are also with the prime minister.
Previously, all nine Umno ministers had signed a joint statement reaffirming support for Muhyiddin.
However, Lenggong MP Shamsul Annuar Nasarah resigned as energy and natural resources minister yesterday, citing loyalty to Umno
Muhyiddin had said that he will prove his majority via a vote of confidence in Parliament in September. - Mkini
