Johor Ruler, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar has ordered former Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to have an audience with him today.
A source told Astro AWANI, Muhyiddin is expected to meet the Ruler at 3.30pm at Bukit Serene Palace.
"I was told the Sultan has called him for lunch at the palace, " the source said.
Meanwhile, news portal The Malaysian Insider said the meeting is expected to discuss Muhyiddin's termination from the Cabinet and other issues.
Muhyiddin is also expected to hold meetings with Malay NGOs in Johor at 5pm in a hotel in Senai, Johor.
On Sunday, Muhyiddin officiated UMNO Kluang Division annual general meeting, the first meeting he officiated after being dropped from the Cabinet.
Last week, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced that Muhyiddin was dropped from the new Cabinet and was replaced with Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi as the Deputy Prime Minister.
On Friday Muhyiddin said he was entitled to visit any UMNO divisions to officiate divisional delegates meeting as it was part of the duty of an UMNO deputy president.
He said as the MP for Pagoh for 37 years, he had served the people well and the residents of Pagoh could lay testimony to his achievements.
