Muhyiddin seen as ideal No. 2 for Najib


KUALA LUMPUR: The appointment of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as the new Deputy Prime Minister is seen as providing Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak with the best combination to helm the country.

Muhyiddin, 62, is regarded as most suitable for the post because of his stature as an experienced political leader. He has also consistently called for changes to be made by Barisan Nasional to restore the people’s confidence in the coalition following its dismal performance in the general election last year.
