The Barisan coalition will not support a government that is led by ex-premier Muhyddin Yassin's alliance, its biggest component party says, though it did not make any reference to Anwar Ibrahim.
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Malaysia’s former ruling coalition indicated that it may support opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim as prime minister, reversing a decision to stay neutral and potentially helping resolve a political stalemate.
The uncertainty over the election prolongs political instability in the Southeast Asian country, which has had three prime ministers in as many years, and risks delaying policy decisions needed to foster economic recovery. The king had suggested that both the leaders work together to form a “unity government”, but Muhyiddin declined the proposal.
