Congrats, you got Moo-ned!
In the past week, we’ve had a PM, a PM-in-waiting, an interim PM and now a new PM. But while everybody expected the new PM to be the either the same guy as the old PM or even the PM-in-waiting (who may now never be PM), nobody thought it would actually be another guy who was once DPM.
So how exactly did Muhyiddin Yassin, the man whom few thought was eying the top job, become Malaysia’s 8th Prime Minister? And who got screwed in the process? Some may say it’s Mahathir, others may say it’s Anwar. But what most people seem to feel is that it’s us, the people, who got shafted.
And while it looks like it’s been settled, for better or worse, there may still be more drama to come, what with Pakatan Harapan and its allies looking to push forward a no-confidence vote in Parliament. Which means the ex-PM is still hoping to become the next PM.
