THE talk is Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin is digging the trenches. The Prime Minister will fight to keep his post.
On Tuesday (Aug 3), in a cobra strike, Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, after a virtual Umno supreme council meeting, announced that the party has retracted its support for the Perikatan Nasional government and Muhyiddin.
At least 11 Umno MPs support this move.
That means that there are only 104 MPs out of 220 who are supporting Muhyiddin. Unless the Prime Minister can shore up his support, he has lost his majority.
Till this morning, the Bersatu president has been making calls to strike a deal with other parties and politicians to get the numbers to remain as PM.
