Muhyiddin calls for sudden Perikatan meet at coalition's headquarters

PETALING JAYA: Perikatan Nasional chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin called for a sudden meeting on Thursday (Oct 6) at the coalition’s headquarters here, although the reason is not immediately clear.

A source said the meeting was ongoing and that the dissolution of Parliament was part of the meeting’s agenda.

Press members are also staking out Perikatan’s headquarters in Seri Hartamas.

It is also understood that the meeting at its headquarters might be moved to a resort in Glenmarie later Thursday evening.

Other leaders expected to attend are PAS deputy president Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man and the Islamist party’s secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan.

Earlier Thursday, Bernama reported that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob had said he may propose a dissolution date for Parliament to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong during their regular meeting.

The weekly meeting took less than an hour and the premier kept mum and only waved to the media from inside his car as he was leaving Istana Negara at 4.45pm.
