KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysia's new Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin postponed the next legislative session by two months in an apparent gambit to head off a no-confidence vote by his predecessor, Mahathir Mohamad.
The parliament's lower house was scheduled to meet Monday, but the date has been pushed back to May 18, Speaker Mohamad Ariff Yusof said Wednesday, relaying a notice received from Muhyiddin. The legislative session will now end on June 23.
