WTF is going on in Malaysia right now??!?
First off – iklan sekejap. We added almost 200 new subscribers over the past couple of days. Welcome to our new readers, and a YUGE thank you to Daphne Iking, Revathy Mariappan, Alan Soon and Koh Aun Qi for plugging us on social media, and Erin Cook for saying nice things about us on your newsletter.
Anyway to the news! As things stand, Dr Mahathir, the 7th Malaysian PM – who was also the 4th PM – has resigned from office. However, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong has since made him caretaker PM (does that make him PM 7+ or PM 7S?), and there is a chance that we could even see the good doctor returning as the country’s 8th PM!
Confused? Well, we are too. Because let’s face it, NO ONE in Malaysia right now apart from the 7th/4th/caretaker PM a.k.a. Duli Yang Maha Mulia Dr Mahathir Mohamad really knows what the hell is going on.
