If confirmed, Muhyiddin's resignation would end a tumultuous 17 months in office but also bring more uncertainty to Malaysia as the country grapples with surging COVID-19 cases and an economic downturn. Malaysiakini quoted Mohd Redzuan as saying that Muhyiddin informed party members of his decision to resign after exhausting all other options to sustain the government.
The premier had for weeks defied calls to quit and said he would prove his majority in parliament through a confidence vote in September. Oh Ei Sun, a senior fellow with Singapore's Institute of International Affairs, said the king could also appoint an interim premier until a permanent successor is found.Potential candidates for the premiership or interim prime minister include deputy prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob and veteran lawmaker Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, both from the UMNO party. Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim could also stake a claim.
