Muhyiddin, who won the backing of opposition parties, will be sworn in on Sunday, according to a statement from the palace. The king had spoken to lawmakers and party leaders this week to determine who has the most support to lead the country. Malaysia has undergone a week of extreme political turmoil, which saw the implosion of the government less than halfway through its term after a power struggle boiled over and Mahathir resigned.

Najib’s alliance, which ruled the country for more than six decades until May 2018, could now regain a foothold and have a say again on how it should be run. Mahathir said early Saturday that he had won the backing of the Pakatan Harapan coalition he abandoned earlier this week. But it seemed to have been a little too late. Born in Johor in the southern Malay peninsula, Muhyiddin is a graduate of the University of Malaya.

Rakyat turun mengundi pun tak guna. Cakaplah terus terang rakyat sebenarnya tak ada kuasa dalam negara.

Suara rakyat dimana😔😓

As much as I respect King's decision, I reject to accept bersatumno bastards to rule our Msia again. WE RAKYAT VOTED OUT THIS KLEPTOKRATS!

NotMyPM

Asal bukan DAPig, Non and Kutty

Interesting to the cabinet lineup

No point being the PM, if the people do not accept him as their PM, or even respect him. His reign will be short lived.... the shortest of all

He looks sick. Might end up like Steve Jobs

Good riddance. May he never darken the door of Sri Perdana again.

not very happy but so long as DAP is out of govt. serve them right.

Traitor that brought down the rakyat's selected government has no right to be the 8th PM. Rakyats are unhappy over the decision. We rakyat has removed BN and PAS in 2018 and here you Muhyiddin betrayed PH and form a coalition with them to bring them back. Shame on you Muhyiddin.

PM, only for 9 days.

King Maker

Who will bear the consequences of this wrong choice?

Wtf?🥶

I'm disappointed, NotMyPM

NotMyPM

Country's fate decided by 'mungkin'

He is Muslim, Malay and lastly Malaysian, in that order!

I seriously hope there is a U-turn... We are towards a dead end.. literally a dead end!

Malaysia is deep trouble as kleptomaniac, corruptors and thieves even murderers and rapists are coming back to rule the country! And Muhiyiddin is not chairman of Bersatu so he misrepresented to the King he has 36 MPs from Bersatu. This is lying to the King!

Do we know who voted for who? So we know who betrayed us?

as long as MY doesn't interfere with the judicial system, then it is fine. the guilty must be punished. PKR has been fighting for power since day one. they do not deserve to be in the govt or the PM seat

I fucking hate this news.

Dewan Rakyat to decide on next PM March 2, says Dr MPUTRAJAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is not discounting the possibility of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) nominating Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as its candidate for Prime Minister. oh come on NST, UMNO already denied they're going to nominate Muhyiddin. If Tun M nominate Muhyiddin because he chose the safer side, it's like he's nominating Pak Lah all over again. this will perhaps now lead to vote buying and lobbying over the next few days

Dr M does not share Muhyiddin's views on Umno cooperationPUTRAJAYA: Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad reaffirmed that he has different views with Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on Umno. Tun idea like ' saya tak suka curi tapi anak saya flexible mencuri so tu up to him la ' 🤦‍♂️ But Muhyiddin has your blessings right? Since the cunning reared its ugly head days ago, you think Rakyat can't see through you? The last few ounces of respect for nonagenarians like you have gone down the drain. Middle name is Judas? Sound like a snake. Why just be a gentleman and say it from the beginning you never want anwar to become PM and you are only using PH to catch najib.
