Muhyiddin Yassin has tendered his resignation as Malaysia’s prime minister but will stay on in a caretaker role until a successor is found.
Yassin became prime minister in March 2020, after he and several members of parliament switched sides and brought down the reformist government.
The palace said on Monday that holding elections is not currently feasible because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

At least he did the right thing not enough do it. Respect to him. May his legacy live on.
People are still dying and suffocating as a result of the PN-backed Sabah elections, so you are right bro.
Gotta respect that
Supposedly 80 million people voted for Biden “ Not me “ and I doubt that’s the case but here you go! So happy to see the outcome of your votes!
Nobody cares go cry elsewhere

Tf does that have to do with Malaysian elections? Not every single thing on this planet revolves around the corrupt and broken American political system
Malaysia is better under British rule.
Now you have muslim-dominated 3rd world country
Go live in Britain then 🤓
The only one who really prospered during the Brits colonization was the Brits themselves.
They were there to colonize and take advantages of the people, not doing some charity work lifting the life quality of natives.
Nope… Malaysia or many years before it called Malaysia and no westerners in this land.. That’s the glorious era in South East Asia. Not only colonised the land, the westerners also wipe out history. Oh i don’t mentioned here to regret the past. I’m glad to be in the present and always believing there’s hope for future. But no… Not gonna praise British and giving them all credits
During British era, Malaysia was agrarian society. After British left, Malaysia become industrial society.
@Ed Fong War with us first, you start first
The Malaysian are really funny. They voted MPs based on their race and religion, absolutely sans merit. yet they expect them to perform once they took hold of the ministrial post. And now they complained about it. Can we get Microsoft to hire Gordon Ramsay to write Windows 11?
its in the national constitution.
@shomin 97 more likely Singapore will take Johor back
@Alexandria School of Science How? Johor is its own kingdom and has it’s own army.
@HarryWoodroof you may want an application of citizenship for North Korea, there would be zero criticism of the gov there 🤭😂. You have already met some of the criterias.
@Luqman’s Malaysia how big is Johor army?
respect for him, he did the right thing….
He is just a traitor. He deserves severe punishment Here & Hereafter.
Who did he betray again? Mahathir step down and he himself is the party president.
@Janne Julian is him or taki?
He resigned reluctantly after using all the tricks in the book to avoid convening parliament and avoiding vote of confidence, using covid as an excuse to declare emergency but cases kept rising and broke the record again today, over 22,000 cases
@MD Ayie stop talking nonsense. He is just a traitor. And there’s a life hereafter. He’ll have to pay there for what he did.
No…. HE RESIGNED BECAUSE HE KNOWS IF HE DIDNT STEP DOWN THE CIA WOULD ASSASSINATE HIM LIKE THEY DID WITH EVERY OTHER LEADER OF COUNTRIES THAT WOULDNT VACCINATE THEIR PEOPLE
Snake and cat live together..at last..soon armagedon..
Woowww oke
he was a hero who protected the people with great care.thank you for being the first prime minister to take care of us in the new normal era.
it was not true, he was a betrayer!!! he betrayed his own party members and coup with kleptocrates to stay in power!! the most shameful prime minister ever for msia!!
@Janne JulianIt’s too early for you to talk like that to him. We see the next PM ruling first, then we can make comparisons. We accept anyone who rules … but not the racist DAP party.
@JC talha See the Gov before… Pack of DAP… Rasis Chinese just to promote hated to Muslim..
@Janne Julian Have you forgotten? In February 2020, the government (Pakatan Harapan) decided there was no need to impose a total ban on all visitors from China , said Deputy Prime Minister Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
@Janne Julian Oh .. Really? He was a betrayer? What about Tun M, Lim Guan Eng who acted and said; “It’s ok. Give our Chinese relatives entry first” while other countries have closed their entrances not allowing Chinese people to enter their country. This is the real reason why Covid-19 started in Malaysia!
Trump w o n.
Yeah sure he won a Vacation out of the white house
hope the new will do good
America is losing their grip on the world
That’s good for everyone, even Americans.
@Matthew Neddeau …until china fills the void
@Nino A I don’t have no problem with China. They’re not going to invade the US. China spends billions on other countries’ infrastructure while the USA spends trillions to destroy other countries’ infrastructure. You tell me what who is more dangerous
Mahatir is ultra-extreme lucky.
Good decision, long overdue
😂🤣 trying to engage with India 🇮🇳…
Superb work RAW
Try 🇮🇩
Pakistani
Pakistan best option
WW3 IS coming soon fellow humans . Chaos everywhere
Is this because of Afghanistan ?
@meegat PAS must take over. Malaysia doesn’t follow Sharia. You can see many Muslim women on the streets in Kuala Lumpur showing their face & even without hijab. Look at their PM; wear western suits and sporting a moustache but no beard. This is sinful!!!
Idk no comment
@Kesihatan Serantau I think you’re joking right?
@A B PAS? Never….
@YRJ 2707 Malaynistan. Open up a map and see it for yourself
I have no sympathy for him. During PM Badawi’s era in 2009 he’s the loudest one asking him to step down so Najib can be the PM and he can be the deputy. Last year he and his cronies joined forces in Sheraton Move (Langkah Sheraton) to overthrown the elected government. The Sultan has controversially appointed him as the new PM although there was no real indication to the people that he has the majority support. The pandemic months long lockdown soon after have actually saved his shaky government and bought him some times to gather supports for a very slim majority. Although his goverment’s pandemic handling was quite good at the beginning, now it’s horrible. Too many people died unnecessarily, lost and losing jobs.
NEVERMIND MALAYSIA, AFGHANISTAN HAVE THE TALIBAN IN POWER
Ól Fasid Alhakumiu Yajib Yakam! ☝🏾👳🏾♂️📃
Our indian PM modi will never resign even if whole country is against his incompetency and corruption.
Correct bro.
And his photo everywhere, should include in death certificate too😂
You have right to vote ? Than don’t vote for him so he won’t come in power again , simple
No corruption allegation yet against modi. He has full majority support and incompetency is not a ground for resignation.
Is Malaysia collapsing? 😢
Will Johor, Penang, Sabah and Sarawak take advantage of the situation and secede to declare independence?
@A B wtf u so funny
Dah nampak perangai komunis di sini. Yg byk mainkan isu ni blok PH.
Singapore is a malay land.

Betul, isyaallah moga Allah permudahkan segala urusan kita amin yaRabbalalamin
Some of this should happen in America
Malaysia country of corruption and Xenophobia. They treat immigrants like craps
Imagine Hadi Awang becomes prime minister.
NIGHTMARE
@Amier Rayyan MalayaClan bruh
@Vitesh You can always go to Singapura; they’re waiting for you. PAS must take over. Malaysia doesn’t follow Sharia. You can see many Muslim women on the streets in Kuala Lumpur showing their face & even without hijab. Look at their PM; wear western suits and sporting a moustache but no beard. This is sinful!!!
@A B Ayo chill
I’m not talking about Sharia or Muslim laws.
I’m just worried about economics and the rights for minorities
@Vitesh Minority must masuk Islam
@A B are you ok?
Geng15 & kleptokrasi 🤔
Good news! Now put and end to every corrupt CCP BRI program in Malaysia!
Wishing Malaysian people safety and prosperity. All us regular citizens are in dire conditions out here.
no child policy for those below poverty and one child policy for those below median income. join bri. no more hijabs.
at least he didn’t cling to the power. does anyone know who will most likely to be the next PM?
Bring mahathir Mohammed back
Whereas in India, Mudi is still busy in dividing people
Underrated comment. In a minute his die hard fans will start hating on you.
@Abdul Majeed mudi ji ko kkuch nahi bollnaaaaaaaaaaa . Agar mudi ji ne petrol 1000 per litre kardiya toh b mudi ji ki chaatunga
– Mudi fan
@ok I don’t know what you just said. I speak English.
It takes balls to admit your own failure. Hope Malaysians can elect a better PM now. Best wishes from Bangladesh
Amin yaRabbalalamin. Tq frend
Malaysia is not Bangladesh. The Army has never intervened. A man with no support & insults our Agong (King), does not step down willingly. He was forced to step down.
@A B Who forced?
@Amier Rayyan MalayaClan of
He resign but King appointed him as interim prime minister. He is still prime minister until Malaysia held election in 2023.
2023? 😂
Going more possible Public election on this year’.
Unless someone come to King with 112 MP support, Muhyiddin is there ti stay as prime minister. So far, Muhyiddin 108 MP support him.
@deep state PAS must take over. Malaysia doesn’t follow Sharia. You can see many Muslim women on the streets in Kuala Lumpur showing their face & even without hijab. Look at their PM; wear western suits and sporting a moustache but no beard. This is sinful!!!
@deep state 🤣🤣
Sheol and the abyss are before Yahweh, how much more are the hearts of the sons of men.
I whole heartedly believe that Bung Moktar should be the next prime Minister because He do speak English. It’ll be very good for international relations
PHAAAKK YUUU!!
@Haru Krentz he do speak english
Most Malaysian can’t speak English. Why should they appoint an English speaking pm?
@deep state Most Malaysians speak English. Perhaps you never visited Malaysia. But Indonesians like you cant speak English, cant speak Arabic & cant even speak Dutch. That said, PAS must take over. Malaysia doesn’t follow Sharia. You can see many Muslim women on the streets in Kuala Lumpur showing their face & even without hijab. Look at their PM; wear western suits and sporting a moustache but no beard. This is sinful!!!
It will not stop here.
We love U Mr. Muhyiddin ❤🇲🇾
PAS must take over. Malaysia doesn’t follow Sharia. You can see many Muslim women on the streets in Kuala Lumpur showing their face & even without hijab. Look at their PM; wear western suits and sporting a moustache but no beard. This is sinful!!!
Wow malaysia is in such a mess
It’s the power hungry politicians that’s messing things up. All about power, position and money
Saya suka cara Muhyidin perintah negara ! I liked the way Muhyidin leading the country ! 😍❤ But 15 UMNo MPs sabotage him because UMNO geng crazy on power !!! 😡
He resigned because he love his country. Not like some presidents in some countries never care about their people
Puppet Marches on ..
Puppet Marches on.. or REGIME’S change or DRONE ASSISSANTED Marches on.
Puppet or guaidio Marches on or enslaved NATION’S Marches on .
Puppet or guaidio led terrorists act Marches on.. & anti CHINA agenda as usual..
I hope Biden will follow together with that Kamala
Exceĺent now u know having power vs responsibility. Brainless ppl should educate themself.
Najib n zahid would be free soon.
I’m from the future and want to let everyone knows that ISMAIL SABRI YAAKOB will be Malaysia’s next PRIME MINISTER.
Anwar and dap are so stupid making way for UMNO to rise again. They should accept Mhdin offer of a unity government. At least they re in better position to curb umno s advancement in coming election.
Florence L001?!!
Please bring back Mahathir Muhammad 🇵🇰❤️🇲🇾
I don’t exactly how the political situation there in Malaysia, but i can assure you something worst is happening in South neighbor country Indonesia.
Huh, our politics is kinda stable tho?
Gak usah adu nasib ama negara lain lah, syukuri aja, semua ada positif negatifnya kok
We Malaysians screwed our selves up.
Resigned due to not follow the SOP of “Perlembagaan Malaysia”..so, he hold the post with “free” from parlimentarian vote during almost 18 months..it’s ok what?..
..the stupid of our people let him being hold the post almost 18 months without “public vote” thru ours MPs in Parliment..
American here, I had not heard of the situation over in Malaysia. We stand in support of your people.
thank you, hope everything is fine in the US
Nobody care about your support. Your country are more fked up than ever.
Thanks for what you did to the Afghanistan.
..no “PM” without majority vote from Parliament..
The worse PM ever….he offered to bribe opposition with a Senior Minister position if they support on national TV..such a scumbag
This guy is such a loser he refuse to use his real name Mahiadin which is an uncommon name for runt children.
He’s a smart guy to resign. Any sane person wouldn’t want to be the PM of malaysia now of all times seeing how covid has literally destroyed what’s left of their economy lmao 😂😂😂
Wow..
