During his campaign in the Nenggiri State Legislative Assembly (DUN) by-election, Muhyiddin was said to have questioned the authority of Al-Sultan Abdullah during his tenure as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Muhyiddin claimed that he had secured the support of 115 members of the Dewan Rakyat after the 15th General Election (GE15), which would have allowed him to be appointed as prime minister.

However, according to the Bersatu president, he was not called by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong at that time to be sworn in.

Following this, Wan Rosdy urged the authorities to take immediate action against Muhyiddin, accusing him of being disrespectful to the Sultan of Pahang.
