Malaysian cabinet ministers on Wednesday unanimously pledged support for Muhyiddin Yassin to continue as the nation’s prime minister.
The backing comes a week after the United Malays National Organisation, the largest party in the ruling coalition, retracted support for Muhyiddin and demanded he step down for failing to control the worsening Covid-19 situation, calling for a new leader to take over until fresh elections can be held.
Still, the cabinet ministers, including those from UMNO, rallied around Muhyiddin and in a statement said the priority is to ensure the success of the National Recovery Plan, aimed at controlling the pandemic and boosting economic growth by lifting restrictions.
