BERA: Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob says a statement dated July 29 with a Barisan Nasional letterhead claiming that 40 Members of Parliament are fully behind the Prime Minister’s leadership is genuine.The Deputy Prime Minister said the statement, which had his name at the bottom, was drafted after consent was obtained from the 39 Barisan MPs involved following a meeting.
The statement began circulating on social media on Thursday and Barisan executive secretary Mohamad Sahfri Ab Aziz immediately denied that the coalition had issued it.
