Muhyiddin has lost majority but don’t count him out yet, say analysts - superadmin - 08-11-2021 PETALING JAYA: Analysts agree that statements from MPs indicate Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has now lost majority support but they say he will likely remain safe at least until Parliament sits or the Yang di-Pertuan Agong calls for a head count. Awang Azman Pawi of University Malaya said Muhyiddin held an advantage in the current power play because of his control over the Registrar of Societies and other government agencies. He also spoke of a possibility that some opposition MPs might have struck an understanding with Muhyiddin’s Bersatu and agreed to absent themselves from Parliament if a vote of no confidence were to be scheduled. “Some may call in sick or may give some other excuses, giving Muhyiddin the advantage,” he said. - More -
