KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia—Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has tendered his resignation to the country’s king, but will stay on as interim premier, the palace said on Aug. 16, after months of political turmoil culminated in the loss of his majority.
Muhyiddin’s hand had been weakened by months of infighting in his coalition and it’s unclear if his resignation will ease Malaysia’s political crisis after a tumultuous 17 months in office for the prime minister.
