Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin today criticised the Communications and Multimedia Ministry for branding reports about corruption in 1MDB as "fake news".

Muhyiddin warned that the "fake news" may well be coming from the government.

"Sometimes the fake news does not come from us (opposition) but what is being described as fake news is coming from the other side (government) because they are unable to rebut the allegations against them," he told a press conference in Petaling Jaya today.
