PM Malaysia offers resignation on Monday: Minister

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian grater leader will offer his resignation to the king Monday, a minister said, has the potential to end his 17-month-old government and bring down the country into a new turmoil.
Prime Minister Mühyiddin Yassin has faced the pressure to move to the side after losing the majority of his parliamentary, and for the handling of his government from the deteriorating Koronavirus outbreak.
He made a last attempt to stick to Friday with the opposition parliamentary members to support him in exchange for institutional reform – but the offer was rejected.
Minister Mohamad Redzuan Yusof told AFP that Muhyiddin told MPs from his party during the meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Sunday that he would submit his resignation.
“He will hold a final cabinet meeting on Monday, he will go to the palace to submit his resignation letter,” said Minister in the Prime Minister’s department.
“We did try to convince him to stay, but he said:” We do not have the number of members of parliament.
“” Muhyiddin said the meeting would be up to the king – who openly criticized the government – to accept his resignation or not, the minister added.
The Malaysian Constitutional Monarch officially appointed a candidate he believed to order the majority support in parliament as a premier.
There is speculation that, should he retreat, a new government will be formed without election because of fears that polls can worsen the virus outbreak.
However, without clear successors as prime minister, it is likely that there will be days of trading political horse in front because MPs tried to form a coalition that could be applied.
Muhyiddin came to power in March last year without election at the head of a scandal coalition that hit following the collapse of the two-year-old reformist government led by Mahathir Mohamad.
But the government was hit by chaos from the first day – it had weak parliamentary support, his legitimacy was constantly questioned, and Muhyiddin faced serious challenges from the opposition chairman Anwar Ibrahim.
Pressure was installed after a group of parliamentarians from the United Malay National Organization (UMNO), Muhyiddin’s biggest party support, publicly attracted support.
The leader claimed some of them were angry because he refused to use his position to influence corruption cases against them.
This includes former Prime Minister Najib Razak, who was punished and sentenced to 12 years in prison last year for the Multi billion dollar 1MdB scandal.
He is free with a guarantee while interesting.
James Chin, a Malaysian expert from the University of Tasmania, warned of changes in government can have an impact on their cases.
“Najib and others who face charges of corruption will not face at any time in prison as long as Umno is in a new government,” he said.
