A long-awaited vote of confidence in Dewan Rakyat is set to take place in September after news that Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin may have lost majority support. We dissect what this announcement entails by first understanding what a confidence vote is. Next, we look at party hopping and how it influences our politics. Finally, we talk about how it might affect the upcoming Budget 2022.
