PETALING JAYA: The decision by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to allow Datuk Seri Azmin Ali to chair Cabinet meetings whenever he is absent may be a sign that he is the most trusted one among the four appointed senior ministers, according to analysts.

This could be an indication that Azmin was the leader with the most potential to succeed Muhyiddin as premier, said Prof Dr Awang Azman Awang Pawi of Universiti Malaya.
