PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin has clarified that the RM38.5 million spent on work at Seri Perdana, approved and started during his tenure, was to repair old and damaged sections of the property and not for simple renovations.

In a statement posted on Facebook, the Pagoh MP said that upon his appointment as prime minister, he received a report from the prime minister’s department (JPM) regarding the state of the building.

The damage included leaks, outdated lighting systems, damaged floors and ceilings, and plumbing system faults, he said in his first response to the issue.

“I was also informed that the electrical wiring, lighting and mechanical equipment such as air conditioners also needed to be repaired as they were too worn out.
