IPOH, Aug 15 — Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad has denied issuing a statement that he would make a “big” decision if Negri Sembilan is not led by someone from Barisan Nasional (BN).
“I was told this false statement is being spread on social media. I have never made such a statement. My advice: stop the 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 yesterday.
A poster has been circulating on social media, saying: “This unity must be supported by justice. BN won the most seats in Negeri Sembilan.”
Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail also denied allegations he questioned the reappointment of Pakatan Harapan’s (Harapan) Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun as Negri Sembilan leader.
Wan Rosdy, who is Umno vice-president, said the rumour was spread to taint his image and disrupt the Harapan-BN alliance.
“Enough of 24-hour politics and stop spreading hateful slander that can damage the harmony and unity of all of us,” he said in a Facebook post.
