Cars with tinted windows have been parked bumper-to-bumper along the road to former deputy prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin's house in Bukit Damansara since this afternoon.

Visitors are streaming quietly into his house, with little fanfare. One woman even came bearing flowers.

Former rural and regional development minister Shafie Apdal is among those inside, since about 4pm.

Muhyiddin's political secretary scurries in and out of the house, welcoming the guests.

A picture of the Umno deputy president hugging his wife Noorainee Abdul Rahman ( photo ) at the front door of his house has been circulating in the social media.

About 40 police officers and reporters are gathered outside, waiting for the former deputy prime minister to appear.

The crowd has been steadily growing since 1pm, with more reporters and police officers arriving outside, while the guests keep coming in a steady stream.

The police officers are mostly stationed at the mouth to the cul-de-sac, while the reporters, who have been waiting right outside the house, havw started  becoming restless.

This followed the cabinet reshuffle announced earlier today, where Muhyiddin was dropped from the cabinet, along with Shafie.

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak had said that the reshuffle was carried out to strengthen the cabinet.
