He was quoted by Sinar Harian as saying that a press statement would be issued soon.
The meeting was held amid growing speculation that Muhyiddin would announce his resignation as prime minister soon.
A vehicle carrying Faizal was seen leaving Muhyiddin’s residence at 5.45pm.
Other vehicles believed to be carrying senior party leaders including ministers had been seen arriving at the Bersatu president’s home.
Among them were senior minister for economy Azmin Ali; minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (special functions) Mohd Redzuan Md Yusof; women, family and community development minister Rina Harun; and deputy youth and sports minister Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal.
Faizal was recently appointed special adviser to the prime minister with Cabinet-level rank.
No news about resignation, says Zuraida
A Bersatu member of the Cabinet has rejected the speculation about Muhyiddin resigning.
Zuraida Kamaruddin, who is minister for housing and local government, rejected an allegation that Muhyiddin had signed a resignation letter today. “Until now, I have not received any news about it,” she said in a message to Sinar Harian.
She also said there was no news yet about any meeting of the Bersatu Supreme Council being held tomorrow to discuss the possibility of Muhyiddin’s purported intention to resign.
Sinar Harian quoted a Bersatu source as saying that a special Cabinet meeting will be held on Monday morning to discuss the latest position of the Perikatan Nasional-led government in the wake of speculation that Muhyiddin no longer enjoys the support of a majority of MPs. - FMT
