PETALING JAYA: Despite enjoying a two-thirds majority in the Dewan Rakyat, a political analyst says there are still elements of instability in the new federal government led by Anwar Ibrahim.

Oh Ei Sun of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs said the prime minister was walking on very thin ice when it came to holding on to his parliamentary majority.

He said one of Anwar’s top tasks moving forward would be to stabilise the government as soon as possible, adding that he could “satisfy” partners in the administration with key Cabinet appointments.
