00:00An UMNO leader has rubbished the notion that Perikatan Nasional Chairman Muhyiddin Yassin's
00:06absence from Monday's rally for Najib Razak reflects a consistent anti-Graf stance by
00:11the opposition coalition. UMNO Supreme Council Member Puat Zarkashi also mocked PN over the
00:17conflicting statements by a handful of leaders concerning support for Najib, saying it showed
00:22that the coalition was in disarray. In a Facebook post, he said that if Muhyiddin had kept to
00:27his principles, he should have objected to PAS holding the rally, adding that he was
00:31embarrassed to attend the rally. He said the coalition is trying to manipulate the issue
00:36of Najib's house arrest addendum for their political gain, adding that the support was
00:40insincere. Yesterday, Federal Territories Persatu Secretary Mahathir Rice said the absence
00:46of Muhyiddin and PAS President Abdul Hadi Awang from the rally proved that PN still
00:51opposed corruption. Mahathir, who said last week that the rally reeked of political opportunism,
00:56however, said it was the individual right of other PN leaders to attend.
