Muhyiddin sworn in as Malaysia's 8th PM

10.40am - It is done. Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin is sworn in as the country's eighth prime minister.

This is despite objection and a last-ditch attempt by Dr Mahathir Mohamad and the Pakatan Harapan bloc to convince that Mahathir has the majority MP support and not Muhyiddin's bloc comprising Bersatu, PAS and Umno, among others.

Muhyiddin is sworn in by Yang-DiPertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah in a short ceremony.

This is followed by hugs and congratulations by his fellow MPs who attended the ceremony at the palace.
