Reverence vs incumbency thesundaily Bersatu
Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Mohd Yassin . — BernamaThe fate of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia , and to a little extent that of the country, may very well come down to a battle between venerable influence and the advantage of incumbency.
On the other is party president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who was installed as prime minister on Mar 1. Singapore Institute of International Affairs senior fellow Oh Ei Sun noted that Mahathir still exerts formidable influence as the elder statesman but such influence can quickly wane in the face of Muhyiddin’s position as the sitting prime minister.He said Muhyiddin could still remain as prime minister even if he loses at the party polls if he can prove that he continues to command the support of the majority of members in the Dewan Rakyat.
Ilham Centre chief executive officer Azlan Zainal said Muhyiddin’s appointment as prime minister will strengthen his influence in Bersatu ahead of the party elections.
