I never lie: Muhyiddin says no need for ‘sumpah laknat’ unlike Zahid

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin does not see any need to take a religious oath over his claims that Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had sought help over his court cases. 

This comes after the Umno president threw a challenge to his political rival to take up a “sumpah laknat” to back his allegations.

In a press conference today, Muhyiddin said he would not resort to such an action, as he has never lied.

He maintained that his claims against Zahid were nothing but the truth.

“What I said may be bitter to the ears, but that is the truth. They were not made up just because of politics or the election,” he said today after chairing the National Recovery Council meeting.

“Whatever the situation is now, I will only speak the truth, and I hope the rakyat understands.”

On February 16, Muhyiddin had claimed during a ceramah in Tangkah, Johor that Zahid had met him to seek intervention in his ongoing court cases in the earlier days of the Pagoh MP’s premiership.
