KUCHING: A viral message claiming that 13 Sarawakian MPs, including 12 from Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS), do not support Perikatan Nasional and Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin in forming the new government is fake, says the Sarawak government's public communications unit- Ukas.
The fake message named the purported MPs, including one from Perikatan, and claimed Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg must comply with the wishes of the majority of MPs to support "Anuar and PH".
Last Sunday (Nov 20), Abang Johari announced that GPS would support a coalition with Perikatan, Barisan and GRS to form the new government.
He also said the state coalition backed Muhyiddin to be the prime minister.
As no pacts materialised with Barisan choosing to stay neutral, the Sarawak Premier's Office issued a statement on Tuesday (Nov 22) clarifying that GPS would leave it to the discretion of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to appoint the prime minister.
The statement reiterated GPS' proposal of a pact comprising GPS, Perikatan, Barisan and GRS to form the next government reflecting a multiracial Malaysia, but did not name Muhyiddin as its choice of prime minister.
GPS also said the people's mandate must be respected amid the political turmoil in Peninsular Malaysia. - Star
