Malaysia's Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin is not undergoing treatment for cancer, his office said on Monday, amid rumours and reports in local media that his health has deteriorated.

Muhyiddin was declared free of cancer in June after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2018. His premiership has been occupied with managing the coronavirus pandemic, with cases rising past 1,35,000 total infections including 551 deaths as of Sunday.

"Rumours saying that the prime minister requires treatment for cancer are not true and are ill-intentioned," Muhyiddin's office said in a brief statement.

Muhyiddin took office in March and has remained in power with a slim parliamentary majority, but faces increasing pressure from the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) former ruling party, the largest bloc in his ruling pact and whose leaders are unhappy playing second fiddle to the premier's smaller Bersatu party. Muhyiddin's office also denied rumours that he will appoint a deputy prime minister.
