Economist Professor Dr Mohd Nazari Ismail said Muhyiddin’s first order of business as prime minister would be to address the package that was announced three days before he was sworn-in.
“The most important thing is the announcement on the package to give a positive impression of the new government. In the short term, some sectors will gain.” He said Muhyiddin would be more friendly with Singapore than Dr Mahathir, who had a reputation of taking a hardline stance on Malaysia-Singapore ties.
International relations expert Dr Oh Ei Sun said the Muhyiddin-led government might be less confrontational and less ideological.
