SPECULATIONS are rife with news of Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin possibly tendering his resignation when he meets the Yang di-Pertuan Agong tomorrow (Aug 16).

Malaysiakini reported that Muhyiddin informed of his decision during a high-level meeting involving top brass from Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) this morning.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Special Functions) Datuk Seri Mohd Redzuan Md Yusof told the online news portal that Muhyiddin informed the MPs that he had exhausted all avenues to sustain his administration and resigning was the last resort.

“We just finished the meeting. Tomorrow, there will be a special Cabinet meeting. After that, he will head to Istana Negara to submit his resignation,” Redzuan said.

Earlier when leaving Perikan National’s (PN) headquarters at Publika, Mohd Redzuan told reporters that an announcement would be made by Muhyiddin tomorrow.

“God willing, there will be an announcement tomorrow. Let us just wait for tomorrow,” Redzuan said.

Redzuan further criticised certain quarters for putting their own agendas first while keeping Malaysia’s well-being aside.

“We serve the Constitution. If they withdraw their support out of self-interest, it needs to be managed properly.

“Now it falls on the Agong to ensure the rakyat and the nation will be led by a government concerned for their welfare,” Redzuan said.

If his resignation is accepted, Muhyiddin will be the nation’s shortest-serving prime minister, clocking up 15 months. – Aug 15, 2021.
