However, everything changed when Dr Mahathir surprised many at the launch of the 2020 Economic Stimulus Package on Feb 27, by hinting that Muhyiddin could be a possible contender. Born on May 15, 1947, Muhyiddin began his political career in the 1970s and has been Pagoh MP for five terms since 1978. Having a Bachelor's degree in Economics and Malay Studies from the University of Malaya , Muhyiddin has also served as the Menteri Besar of Johor after winning the Bukit Serampang state assembly seat in the seventh general election.
Muhyiddin received his early education at SK Maharani, SK Ismail and the Muar High School, before pursuing his studies at UM. Muhyiddin has also held the post of Umno vice-president and was elected Umno deputy president in 2008 before being sacked in 2016 because of his firm and courageous stand in the best interests of the party.
