BN treasurer-general Hishammuddin Hussien’s office has denied the Sembrong MP wrote a letter to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong claiming he has the BN’s support to become the new prime minister.
Hishammuddin’s communications team posted through its Twitter account yesterday that the purported letter circulating online is “false and untrue”.
“This is merely a malicious political provocation, by spreading lies to confuse the public.”
According to the purported letter, dated June 22 and supposedly marked as received by palace officials yesterday, Hishamuddin states the BN supreme council unanimously backed him to lead the next Malaysian government as its prime minister.
Hishammuddin also supposedly pledges to appoint the current prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin as a member of his advisory council, alongside former prime ministers Najib Abdul Razak and Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
The letter includes a list that is supposedly his proposed cabinet line-up, which includes MPs and senators from Perikatan Nasional and Warisan, as well as Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.
The list names Hishammuddin as prime minister and finance minister, while Azmin Ali and Ismail Sabri Yaakob are purportedly proposed as first and second deputy prime ministers. - Mkini
