KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) – Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said on Friday he would seek support from political parties outside the ruling coalition in a confidence motion in parliament, amid calls for him to resign.
Muhyiddin said a confidence vote would allow the government to keep functioning until there was an election and said that no member of parliament was able to prove they had majority support to allow the king to appoint them prime minister.
