Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has urged all parties not to speculate on whether RM2.6 billion was deposited into the personal bank accounts of his boss Najib Abdul Razak.

Talk of this has been afloat after a video clip that went viral on the social media shows his predecessor Muhyiddin Yassin saying that Najib admitted the money went into his account.

Zahid, who is also home minister, advised the people to wait for the 1MDB special task force's investigation to be completed.

"Please respect the finding of the investigation. Let the finding reveal the truth," he said.

Zahid acted defensively when asked by a reporter from Singapore based TV station Channel News Asia if what Muhyiddin said in the the video clip was true.

"Are you carrying out the voices of  another country to ask this question?" Zahid responded, without offering a direct answer.

He also said that Muhyiddin had told him that the leaked video clip was not his official channel to voice out.

Muhyiddin, who was dropped from the cabinet on Tuesday, has emphasised his loyalty to Umno, said Zahid, who is an Umno vice-president.

Muhyiddin has taken his stand to support the party, and he would not support any move by the opposition to cast a vote of no confidence against Najib, he added.

It was reported that Zahid called Muhyiddin during the wee hours of yesterday, to inform Muhyiddin that he would not be arrested after the leaked video went viral.
