Game over for Muhyiddin?

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: A series of U-turns by Umno MPs aligned to the present administration appears to be drawing the curtains on Muhyiddin Yassin’s tenure as the country’s eighth prime minister.

Speaking to FMT, several Umno and Bersatu sources said they are expecting Muhyiddin to announce his resignation soon.

“The resignation letter is ready, but we are not sure when he will make the announcement,” said one source on condition of anonymity.

Muhyiddin’s circumstances looked bleak yesterday when opposition parties and Umno rejected his proposal for reforms and a more inclusive administration in exchange for support in September’s parliamentary vote of confidence.

But things went from bad to worse as those in the Cabinet, including Umno and PAS ministers, voiced disapproval for the proposal that had apparently “caught them by surprise”.

Now, it is learnt that some Umno and PAS ministers are already looking at ways to make a face-saving U-turn.
