KUALA LUMPUR -- Over 1.1 million voters in the East Malaysian state of Sabah choose representatives for their state assembly on Saturday in a local election with potentially far-reaching ramifications for Malaysia's embattled Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
Muhyiddin, who is believed to have lost a parliamentary majority to opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, is facing the first gut check of his seven-month-old administration with the vote on the island of Borneo.
