KUALA LUMPUR, May 19 — Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia’s Selangor chapter has announced its support for Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as Prime Minister, according to its chief, Datuk Abdul Rashid Asari. “We honour and respect Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who created history and was effective in running the country in spite of his age, but because he had taken the decision to resign as chairman of PPBM, the party’s constitution comes into play.
The statement came after a divisional meeting on May 13 to discuss the latest power tussle, with former PPBM chairman Dr Mahathir trying to instigate a motion of no-confidence against Muhyiddin.
