Malaysia s Muhyiddin has mastered dodging the opposition - but will a showdown with the king prove his undoing?

August 03, 2021 Riot police on standby as Malaysian politicians protest on Aug 2, 2021. Twitter/Wong Chen Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin ’s swift countermoves, after recently coming under pressure on multiple fronts , suggest he plans to hunker down to stay in power rather than step aside to clear up the country’s pandemic-time political morass. But while he has shown an uncanny ability to dodge the opposition’s repeated efforts to unseat him, keen watchers of Malaysian politics suggest the 74-year-old’s brewing battle against the country’s king, Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, could prove his undoing.
