Former deputy prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin revealed that he had been offered plum positions including the governor of Penang.

Muhyiddin, in an event held in Kota Tinggi, Johor tonight, said he was also offered the post of chairperson of Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB).

“I had even imagined (Penang Chief Minister Lim) Guan Eng in front of me, kneeling and sembah (prostrating) to me.

“Sometimes I feel quite stupid – why didn’t I take the offer – and some even ask why I didn't take it...take RM1 billion, that would be enough," he told an audience of about 1,500 tonight.
