COMMENT | A parliament vote against Muhyiddin just won’t do

COMMENT | P Gunasegaram makes a number of good points in his latest opinion piece. But there’s one by him with which I fundamentally disagree.

It’s on the idea that Parliament, which sits (laughable) on Monday, should be allowed to endorse Muhyiddin Yassin’s tenure as prime minister as indeed it should his Perikatan Nasional (PN) regime.
