KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysia's political parties are scurrying to cash in bargaining chips amid the standoff over who should lead the country -- current Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin or opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.
Both men aim to demonstrate they control majority support among the 222 lawmakers in the lower house. But with the capital back under coronavirus restrictions until at least Oct. 27, the tussle may not be resolved anytime soon.
