The former prime minister was questioned over remarks made in the run-up to last week’s by-election.
Perikatan Nasional chairman Muhyiddin Yassin had previously denied issuing a ‘fatwa’ declaring it was ‘haram’ to vote for Pakatan Harapan’s candidate.
PETALING JAYA: Police this morning took Muhyiddin Yassin’s statement in a probe into the former prime minister’s speech allegedly touching on race, religion and royalty or 3R issues in the run-up to the Aug 9 by-elections in Johor. It is understood that police had met with Muhyiddin, who is the Perikatan Nasional chairman at the Malaysian Investment Development Authority in Kuala Lumpur.
A few days ago deputy inspector-general of police Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said there were two investigation papers opened against Muhyiddin, following statements he made on “fatwas” and the Malays losing power.
