With less than an hour before Bersatu President Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin is sworn in as the eighth Prime Minister, interim PM Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has publicly taken an opposing stand, declaring that the Perikatan Nasional coalition does not have the numbers. Dr Bridget Welsh, Honorary Research Associate with the University of Nottingham’s Asia Research Institute, gives us a rundown of the relationship between Tun Mahathir and Tan Sri Muhyiddin, and what that foretells for the new government.
