The decision by the United Malays National Organisation came just hours after Mr. Muhyiddin appointed a senior member of the party as deputy prime minister
Malaysia's biggest political party and key ally in the ruling coalition withdrew support for Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin late on Wednesday, July 7, 2021, and called on him to resign for failing to manage the COVID-19pandemic. The decision by the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) to pull support came just hours after Mr. Muhyiddin appointed a senior member of the party as deputy prime minister, seen as a bid to ease months of infighting. Some UMNO lawmakers have been unhappy playing second fiddle to the premier's own party. It was not clear if UMNO's withdrawal would immediately unseat Mr. Muhyiddin as the country’s Parliament is currently not in session and the nation is under a state of emergency to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.
