Malaysian PM Muhyiddin's government has collapsed, says Umno MP after withdrawing support
KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's Perikatan Nasional administration has collapsed, Umno lawmaker Nazri Abdul Aziz claimed on Tuesday (Jan 12) after declaring that he was pulling his support for the government.
Datuk Seri Nazri pointed out that with his withdrawal, Tan Sri Muhyiddin now has the backing of only 109 MPs in the 220-strong Parliament, making it a minority government.
Mr Nazri's announcement at a press conference came hours after Malaysian King Sultan Abdullah Ahmad Shah consented to a declaration of emergency until August, which would allow Mr Muhyiddin's government to deal with the country's worsening coronavirus pandemic.
