A Malay PM not guaranteed in current political climate, says Muhyiddin

PETALING JAYA: With the Federal Constitution requiring only a Member of Parliament with the most support to become prime minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin (pic) says this opens up the possibility of a non-Malay Muslim qualifying for the post.

The Perikatan Nasional chairman said although the Yang di-Pertuan Agong has the discretion to appoint a prime minister, the King must observe the main rule of that person commanding majority support among MPs.
