(News 1st): Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has tendered his resignation to the king today (16), becoming the shortest-ruling leader after conceding that he lost majority support to govern.

Science Minister Khairy Jamaluddin stated on Instagram that “the Cabinet has tendered our resignation” to the king, shortly after Muhyiddin left the palace after meeting the monarch.

Muhyidddin’s departure comes less than 18 months after taking office, in the midst of the worsening pandemic situation.
