PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin has denied any involvement with troubled carrier MYAirline Sdn Bhd, which abruptly ceased operations last Thursday.

In a Facebook post, the Perikatan Nasional chairman said he had no direct association with the airline or its shareholders.“My search indicates that this company received conditional approval for an air service licence on Dec 22, 2021, during the time when I was no longer the prime minister,” he said.

Rosli Dahlan, a partner in the firm, once acted as lead counsel for 1MDB and currently represents Muhyiddin in his defamation suit against Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. After news of the suspension broke, transport minister Loke Siew Fook criticised MYAirline for its hasty decision affecting 125,000 MYAirline passengers who had already purchased RM20 million worth of tickets until March 2024.

The airline yesterday admitted that its sudden suspension of operations was due to its lack of a back-up plan to resolve its faltering finances, and that its failure to inform passengers of the suspension stemmed from an “oversight”.
