In his special address on Wednesday (Aug 4), Muhyiddin apologised as he had to come forward to explain the position of the Perikatan Nasional government and his legitimacy as the Prime Minister while the country is facing the Covid-19 pandemic.
He added that he received a letter from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, who informed that eight Umno lawmakers had written to the Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat to withdraw support from Muhyiddin.
