PN rejects palace proposal to form govt with PH

Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Muhyiddin Yassin today revealed that he had refused a proposal that his coalition join hands with Pakatan Harapan (PH) to form a unity government.

"I was asked to sign a document if we agreed. I signed, but said 'do not agree'.

"That is a stand we have taken," he said. 

Muhyiddin also showed an official proof of receipt from the palace of 115 statutory declarations showing that he had the majority support to form the government.

"That is why we were confident that we could form the government. But as you know, we were told it was not sufficient. I don't know the reasons behind this. But this is the proof.

"As such, Tuanku proposed that we join forces with PH to form a unity government. 

"But on whatever basis, we will not agree to it."
