KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 16 — Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin claimed today he failed to save his Perikatan Nasional (PN) government as a result of the purported greed for power from certain quarters.
In his national address today announcing his resignation as prime minister, Muhyiddin said he had resorted to many ways to save the coalition, but inevitably failed.
“I did many things until the last minute to save the PN government, at least until the job of managing the pandemic, the vaccination programme and for economic rehabilitation.
“But these attempts did not work as there were parties who were greedy to grab power, rather than prioritising your lives and livelihoods,” said the Pagoh MP.
