Police have postponed until tomorrow to record Muhyiddin Yassin’s statement regarding his speech which allegedly touched on race, religion and royalty, said Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain.

He said it had to be postponed as Muhyiddin’s lawyer was still abroad.

“Muhyiddin’s statement will be recorded at his office at the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (Mida) at 11am tomorrow,” said Razarudin when contacted.

Previously, it was reported that the police would record Muhyiddin’s statement on the matter at 11am today at the Mida office, prompting some 15 media practitioners to be at the venue.

Muhyiddin, who is Perikatan Nasional chairperson, allegedly made a speech touching on the 3R issue during the Nenggiri by-election campaign in Kelantan last week, leading to many police reports being lodged.

In the speech, he was alleged to have disputed the duties and role of the 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong on not being given the prime minister’s post after the last general election.

Muhyiddin’s speech also drew the wrath of the Tengku Mahkota Pahang Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah who wanted the police to take decisive action without compromise against the Pagoh MP.
