The PN chairman said the coalition would not back down from the fight for truth, which it had always championed since its inception.

“We are not afraid.

“Our fight is to uphold the truth and oppose evil,” the former prime minister said after performing a “solat hajat” at the PAS Tarbiyah Centre here.

Also present were PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan and the party’s vice-president Idris Ahmad. They were among the 1,000 who turned up for the special prayers.

Muhyiddin insisted that he had not done anything wrong and would prove his innocence in court.

Earlier today, Muhyiddin was detained by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in connection with the agency’s probe into the Jana Wibawa programme.

He will be charged at the Jalan Duta court in Kuala Lumpur tomorrow morning and in the Shah Alam court on Monday.

Takiyuddin, who will be representing Muhyiddin, sarcastically described the impending charges against Muhyiddin as a “miracle” since the MACC had yet to complete their probe.

“But Muhyiddin won’t be hiding.”

Idris, meanwhile, reminded Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim that the Islamic party stood by the latter’s side after he was dismissed as the deputy prime minister in 1998.

“Despite being your staunch supporters, you decided to insult our leaders when you came to power.”
