KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysia's new Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin on Monday announced a roster of 31 cabinet ministers, with many of the posts going to politicians from the scandal-tainted United Malays National Organization (UMNO) and the conservative Malaysian Islamic Party.
Muhyiddin, of the Bersatu party, stormed into power just over a week ago after successful maneuvering that forced 94-year-old Mahathir Mohamad to resign.
