King to give political leaders opportunity to nominate PM

KUALA LUMPUR: Following the political turmoil in the country, Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah will give party leaders who have MPs in the Dewan Rakyat the opportunity to nominate a prime minister.

Comptroller of the Royal Household Datuk Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin said in a statement that this was because the King has yet to determine which MPs command the majority support in the Dewan Rakyat to form a new government.
