KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 29): Former PKR vice president Zuraida Kamaruddin (pictured) said she feels “vindicated and relieved” that Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin will be made prime minister, the Malay Mail reported.
“Alhamdulillah, one week of hard work. We manage to make Tan Sri Muhyiddin as the prime minister of Malaysia.
“It’s an exciting time after one week of ups and downs,” said the Ampang law maker and former Housing and Local Government minister.
PAS secretary-general Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan revealed to the media that the alliance of his party, Umno, Bersatu and members of Sarawak Parties Coalition (GPS) managed to garner 114 votes, or just two over the minimum majority votes of law makers to form a government.
“He received 114 votes [MPs]. This is not a minor government [simple majority] but a majority from 222 MPs.
“PAS would like to congratulate Muhyiddin for being chosen according to the democratic process and the appointment should not be questioned by any parties,” the news portal reported him saying.
Umno’s Tan Sri Annuar Musa thanked supporters and the party’s allies and added that with Muhyiddin as the eighth PM, “people will no longer be in a state of confusion”.
