Umno Supreme Council member Mohd Puad Zarkashi says the prime minister’s letter of demand is ‘intended to silence and intimidate critics’.
In a Facebook post, Puad denied defaming Muhyiddin Yassin, saying he was merely asking for clarification on the three-day observation rule for ministers returning from overseas as it was an issue of public interest. Previously, Muhyiddin had sent the letter of demand seeking a public apology and RM10 million in compensation from Puad for allegedly defaming him through a Facebook post last week.
Puad had questioned if the new three-day observation rule for ministers was linked to the prime minister’s return from his official visit to Indonesia.
