KUALA LUMPUR: Muhyiddin Yassin was sworn in as the new prime minister on Sunday after a week of political turmoil triggered by the surprise resignation of Dr Mahathir Mohamad, but he has yet to name any Cabinet colleagues.
Mahathir resigned because he had been angered by pressure from supporters of old rival Anwar Ibrahim, 72, to set a timeline to hand power to him as part of a deal reached to fight the last general election together two years ago. “By convention you need a Cabinet, and then they need some time to adjust themselves to understand their ministries,” said Wee Ka Siong, a lawmaker from the new ruling coalition. “Then only can they answer questions.”
