'Leaked letters' fuels calls for Muhyiddin to resign as Bersatu president

Calls for Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin to step down intensified ahead of a scheduled gathering of top Perikatan Nasional leaders at the former premier’s home tonight.

This follows yesterday's leaked correspondence between Muhyiddin and PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang, which revealed that both leaders are at odds over the coalition’s leadership direction.

Hadi's response should serve as an added reason, says Saifuddin.

Muhyiddin: Perlis not in ruin, issues resolved according to Constitution

Wan Saiful: If Muhyiddin still chair, why didn't he call for successor meeting?
