PETALING JAYA: Caretaker Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin says he had done everything possible until the very end, to keep the Perikatan Nasional government intact.
He said he had listened to all the sincere pleas of millions of Malaysians asking him to continue as the Prime Minister.
“My efforts did not succeed, however, as there were certain power-hungry parties who wanted to take over without considering the lives and livelihood of the people,” he said in a live televised address to Malaysians hours after tendering his resignation to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong at Istana Negara yesterday.
“However, it has been destined that today will be my last day as the Prime Minister and I accept the fate chosen by God,” he added. He also hoped that the new government would be formed as soon as possible, so that there were no disruptions to the country’s administration. Muhyiddin also assured Malaysians not to worry about the national vaccination programme as over 87 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines had been ordered at a cost of RM4.36bil.“My Cabinet has ordered more than enough vaccines for all of you.“Thus, the momentum of the implementation of the vaccination programme should not be disrupted.
Muhyiddin expressed his excitement at seeing the positive development at several hospitals in the Klang Valley where the number of Covid-19 patients in Category Four and Five were declining.
