A failure by Parliament to resolve the current political impasse on Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s majority to form a government will leave the next decision in the hands of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, said former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Speaking at an online press conference yesterday, the Pejuang chairperson said any deadlock in Parliament should have been resolved by calling for a general election.

He, however, admitted that there would be constraints to do so due to the pandemic, likely leaving the decision to be made by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
