The Prime Minister of Malaysia was forced to call for a vote of confidence

Desk report: Finally, Malaysian Prime Minister Muhiuddin Yassin called for a vote of confidence in parliament. He made the announcement in a televised speech on Wednesday (August 4th). Acknowledging the crisis, he said he still has the support of most lawmakers in Malaysia’s central parliament, Dewan Rakyat. Muhiuddin said, “I have told His Excellency the King that in the situation that has arisen, there must be a vote of confidence in Dewan Rakiya to abide by the constitution and the legal process.”In a televised speech, he said a confidence vote would be held next September. This is the biggest challenge in my political life. I am taking up this challenge.Opposition groups called for the resignation of Prime Minister Muhiuddin Yassin on Monday (August 2nd). Former Prime Minister and modern Malaysian architect Mahathir Mohamad and Leader of the Opposition Anwar Ibrahim took part in it. The rally was organized to protest the postponement of the session of Parliament.At one point during the rally, several lawmakers tried to enter the parliament building with a demonstration procession. When the police stopped them, a tense situation arose. Security forces claimed that they were allowed to protest in front of the parliament building but were not allowed to enter.Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad sharply criticized the Muhiuddin Yasin government for taking part in it. He said Malaysia is in a deep political crisis today. Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim accused the prime minister of failing to deal with Corona.”Today, our lawmakers took to the streets to demand the resignation of Muhiuddin Yassin,” said Anwar Ibrahim, Malaysia’s opposition leader. He completely failed to run the country. Malaysia’s economy has collapsed. We have learned that some parties in the coalition government have withdrawn their support from the Prime Minister.Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said, “Unfortunately, our country is going through a difficult time due to the Corona epidemic.” But this government has no headaches. They are not working to solve the problems of the people. They just have to deal with political issues. More than 9,000 people lost their lives in Corona; They have no grief over this. They are not representing the people. This government has no right to stay in power.Muhiuddin Yasin, a member of his cabinet, replaced Mahathir Mohamad as the new prime minister in February 2020 amid internal strife in the coalition government. Since then, political instability has prevailed in the Southeast Asian country. Yasin is still in power with a small majority.
