Muhyiddin may have broken secrecy laws, says Umno division

PETALING JAYA: An Umno division has lodged a police report against Muhyiddin Yassin, saying he may have broken the law when he claimed the country is in financial trouble.

The youth wing of the Parit Sulong Umno division said information about the nation’s financial status was protected under the Official Secrets Act 1972 and was therefore confidential.

“The Bersatu president is not a Cabinet member nor the prime minister any more. He is  not entitled to be in possession of any information on the country that is classified as confidential.

“What was said by Muhyiddin appears to contravene the laws on official national documents, which are subject to the Official Secrets Act 1972,” it said in a statement last night.
