He said his relationship with the Prime Minister was still good and that his support for Najib need not be doubted or questioned by anyone.
"I wish to say this because I felt touched when Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim (Information Communication and Culture Minister) said to me that in the last page of the book "Najib Tun Razak-Melakar Transformasi Malaysia"), it talked about the formidable "Najib-Muhyiddin" combination.
"That about says it all. I just wish to reiterate that my support for Najib has been unwavering," he told reporters when launching the book at the Handicraft Complex's Amphitheatre here.
Also present was Information Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim.
Muhyiddin said this when asked to comment about his statements in his speech during the launch on his support for Najib.
He added that the rumours were the work of the Opposition.
In his speech earlier, Muhyiddin called on the Information Department to continue publishing books themed on nation building for the benefit of society, particularly the younger generation.
"The effort by the Information Department to come up with this book ("Najib Tun Razak-Melakar Transformasi Malaysia") and chronologically based one the Prime Minister's one year in office is a tremendous feat," he said, adding such would would give readers a better insight about the achievements made by Malaysia's leaders besides being sources of reference.
Rais, in his speech, praised the department for the feat and said his ministry would continue to produce such books as books were "people's best friend".
He added that the ministry had published 15 such books so far which were of quality and explained government policies.
Meanwhile, on calls for university students to be allowed to be active in politics, Muhyiddin, who is also Education Minister, said under the University and University Colleges Act, they were allowed to discuss politics but not participate in party politics.
"They are still bound by the act which has been amended to give them more freedom. In fact, now there speakers corners in universities where they can express their views on political matters, because they too are citizens of Malaysia," he said.
He added that if university students were allowed to be active in politics, it could affect their studies and as such, the prohibition would continue to be maintained.
