Umno tells Muhyiddin to resign
The Umno supreme council has decided to retract the party s support for Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said Muhyiddin should resign and make way for an interim prime minister, who would serve until the country reaches herd immunity and a general election is called.
Zahid, who was previously linked to attempts by PKR president Anwar Ibrahim to capture Putrajaya, also said Umno would not support any efforts to install the opposition leader as prime minister.
The move came less than 12 hours after Umno vice-president Ismail Sabri Yaakob was appointed as deputy prime minister, a move that was supposed to placate the party.
