IPOH – Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad has denied making a statement that he would not hesitate to make a ‘big’ decision if Negri Sembilan is not led by a Menteri Besar from Barisan Nasional (BN).
“I was told that this false statement is being spread on social media. I have never made such a statement. My advice, stop this politics of slander and hatred.
“The general and state elections are over; the people’s representatives have been elected. This is the time for us to work for the people,” he said in a Facebook post today.
A poster has been circulating on social media, stating ‘This unity must be supported by justice. BN won the most seats in Negri Sembilan’.
Meanwhile, Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail also denied allegations that he had questioned the appointment of the Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar, as had gone viral on social media.
Wan Rosdy, who is also Umno vice-president, described the irresponsible act as attempting to taint his image, as well as aiming to disrupt the cooperation between BN and Pakatan Harapan (PH).
“Enough of 24-hour politics and stop spreading hateful slander that can damage the harmony and unity of all of us,” he said
Earlier, Negri Sembilan PH chairman Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun, who defended the Sikamat seat in the state election on Saturday, was sworn in as menteri besar of Negri Sembilan for a second term. – August 14, 2023
