KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin tendered his resignation on Monday after his largest coalition ally cornered him and the opposition rejected a last-ditch appeal to maintain stability.
"I have resigned together with the ministerial cabinet, as stipulated in the federal constitution," Muhyiddin said in a televised address in the afternoon, after a special cabinet meeting and an audience with King Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin, where he handed in his notice.
