Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar Mohamad Hasan today roasted former deputy prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin for not giving his full backing to Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

He also appeared to laud Muhyiddin's ouster from the cabinet.

 
"If you have problems with your boss, you're the one who should leave, not your boss," he said in a fiery speech at the Seremban Umno annual general assembly today.
 
Muhyiddin, who is Umno deputy president, was dropped as deputy prime minister on Tuesday for criticising Najib's handling of 1MDB.

 
Also dropped from the cabinet was Umno vice president Shafie Apdal, who was also critical of 1MDB.
 
On Thursday, Mohamad was also embroiled in the tussle after an audio recording purportedly showing him endorsing Muhyiddin was circulated on social media.
 
Mohamad had since denied the person in the recording was in.
 
In the recording, the man's voice was heard agreeing with Muhyiddin's views and calling for Najib's arrest.
 
Mohamad today appeared determined to prove his allegiance to Najib as he worked the crowd in support of the prime minister.

Najib had been embroiled in controversy over claims that RM2.6 billion was deposited into his personal bank accounts.

He had denied taking any government funds for personal gain.
