“I have met with the senior civil servants, the armed forces, the police and the Attorney General and discussed matters after I’m no longer the prime minister. I don’t like that sort of thing to be put on my shoulder, but as the prime minister, I have to bear it,” he said. Muhyiddin said he was aware that many had wanted this “Abah” to stay and not resign (as prime minister) but unfortunately, their wish could not be granted. It’s very touching, I wish I could do that but under the parliamentary democracy, the post of Prime Minister is based on the provision in the Constitution. Nevertheless, Muhyiddin also expressed hope that the new government would continue ensuring the wellbeing of the people amid Covid-19.
