<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\u201cJust after being announced as the Prime Minister, the first thing he (Muhyiddin) did was to shape the way we handled the pandemic. That is why initially only two spokespersons could provide details on COVID-19, with the two being Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob and Health director-general Tan Sri Noor Hisham Abdullah, as we wanted the information given out to be accurate and verified,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said this at a friendly get-together at Dewan Terbuka Kampung Ulu Putatan near here today. Also present were Senior Education Minister Dr Radzi Jidin and PN\u2019s Petagas candidate Datuk Seri Arsit Sedi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that with Malaysia facing an uncertain situation right now, Muhyiddin was the perfect and most qualified person to head the Federal Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe (Muhyiddin) never sought to become the prime minister but since he has held the post, he has done his best,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim\u2019s claim to having a strong majority to form the next government at a time the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri\u2019ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah is unwell, Saifuddin said it clearly showed his (Anwar\u2019s) lack of respect for the King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saifuddin said Anwar\u2019s action in holding a press conference when the whole nation was praying for His Majesty\u2019s well-being showed the Port Dickson Member of Parliament\u2019s true colors in his obsession to become the prime minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am from Pahang, the King is my Sultan. I am angry with Anwar for doing that,\u201d he said, adding that Anwar\u2019s claims had disrupted the economic situation in the country which had been affected by the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShares dipped after his press conference at a time when we are still struggling with the pandemic and the Sabah state election on Sept 26. His action doesn\u2019t help the situation but interferes with the people’s welfare.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
