With his last-ditch plan to seek opposition backing for his government rejected, embattled Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin appears set to resign after failing to cobble up majority support.
Mohamad Redzuan Mohamad Yusof, a minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, told the Malaysiakini online news portal that Muhyiddin will submit his resignation to the king on Monday.
He said the premier informed members of his Bersatu party at a meeting Sunday that he had exhausted all avenues to sustain his administration and resigning was the last resort.Over a dozen lawmakers from the United Malays National Organization , the largest party in the ruling alliance, have pulled their support for the government, which is enough to cause its collapse because of its razor-thin majority. Two UMNO ministers have resigned from the Cabinet.
Muhyiddin promised to call general elections by next July and offered a raft of benefits, including proposals to limit the prime minister’s tenure, bolster checks and balances, and perks similar to a senior minister to the opposition leader in return for their support. But all opposition parties rejected the olive branch, calling it open bribery and demanded that he resign.
