We round up on political developments by looking at the the ramifications of the Attorney General saying that there’s no need for a vote of confidence in the upcoming Dewan Rakyat sitting. Then, we explore what the larger impact of former PM Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin being appointed the chairperson for the National Recovery Council will have. And finally - we talk about what this all says about Ismail Sabri’s administration.
