There was a rumor that a meeting of Barisan Nasional was almost put on hold that Najib made the proposal.

UMNO top brass are expected to announced tonight on whether the party would continue to support Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin or withdraw their support, after the prime minister’s denied proposal to declare a state emergency.

Najib confirmed earlier that the BN Supreme Council has not yet made a decision about the royal decree that rejected Muhyiddin’s recommendation for a state of emergency to be declared. DAP Senator Liew Chin Tong said yesterday that Muhyiddin can be able to secure the continued support for his government if he is willing to remove Senior Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali and Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin from his cabinet.
