Malaysian opposition demand PM Yassin resigns

Muhyiddin cited the detection of COVID-19 infections for postponing the final parliamentary session scheduled for Monday, but the opposition called it a politically motivated move to block any challenges to his leadership.

Opposition lawmakers marched towards the parliament building on Monday, but were stopped by police in riot gear.

"Muhyiddin as prime minister has fallen today," opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim said in a speech after the lawmakers were turned away.
