The move occurred despite Yassin appointing UMNO vice-president Ismail Sabri Yaakob as Deputy Prime Minister and major party stalwart Hishammuddin Hussein as Senior Security Minister earlier in the day in order to prevent this. UMNO president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says that the decision was due to Yassin's poor handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, with Hamidi specifically singling out the ineffective and contradictory implementation of the lockdowns as the main point of contention. 2021-05-10 a5c9e6e9ff8d36a6886290f2d667014f8f97f720 /feed/2021/05/10/prime-minister-muhyiddin-yassin-announces-a-new-nationwide-movement-control-order-lockdown-from-may-12-until-june-7-w Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin announces a new nationwide movement control order (lockdown) from May 12 until June 7, with additional restrictions due to rising number of the COVID-19 cases. 1620651972 2021-05-10 889d5526934d6385cd4367f3227aa7e6b783c2e9 28 Muhyiddin Yassin Prime Minister of Malaysia 2 /feed/2021/05/10/prime-minister-muhyiddin-yassin-announces-a-new-nationwide-movement-control-order-from-may-12-until-june-7-with-additio Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin announces a new nationwide movement control order from May 12 until June 7, with additional restrictions due to an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases. 2021-02-24 60d6ff0694d7d0165bb761cc76c9e376a9cd3d66 /feed/2021/02/24/prime-minister-muhyiddin-yassin-and-director-general-of-health-noor-hisham-abdullah-receive-the-first-dose-of-pfizer-bio Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and Director-General of Health Noor Hisham Abdullah receive the first dose of Pfizer–BioNTech's vaccine as the country officially kicks off its national immunisation programme. 1614215142 2021-02-24 efa4cd9c0575186cb6b8ae17c08595a038d7796d /feed/2021/02/24/malaysian-prime-minister-muhyiddin-yassin-and-director-general-of-health-noor-hisham-abdullah-receive-the-first-dose-of Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and Director-General of Health Noor Hisham Abdullah receive the first dose of Pfizer–BioNTech's vaccine as the country officially kicks off its national immunisation programme. 1614200747 2021-02-24 4486d7f302916bf7504062db3827864aebed38ba 9 Muhyiddin Yassin Prime Minister of Malaysia 2 /feed/2021/02/24/prime-minister-muhyiddin-yassin-and-director-general-of-health-noor-hisham-abdullah-receive-their-first-doses-of-the-pfi Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and Director-General of Health Noor Hisham Abdullah receive their first doses of the Pfizer–BioNTech vaccine as the country officially begins its national immunisation programme. 2021-01-18 5eca8f62e5cc969f2652b2ae4c0f2f6d495db2bc /feed/2021/01/18/prime-minister-muhyiddin-yassin-announces-a-new-economic-assistance-package-named-permai-malaysian-economic-and-rakyat Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin announces a new economic assistance package named PERMAI (Malaysian Economic and Rakyat Protection Assistance Package) worth RM15 billion in order mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the Malaysian economy. 1611025525 2021-01-18 31d2ea7eb002bc2f7048ff50be8da635dc66f8f1 6 Muhyiddin Yassin Prime Minister of Malaysia 2 /feed/2021/01/18/prime-minister-muhyiddin-yassin-announces-a-new-rm15-billion-economic-assistance-package-the-malaysian-economic-and-rak Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin announces a new RM15 billion economic assistance package, the Malaysian Economic and Rakyat Protection Assistance Package, which is expected to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on the Malaysian economy. 2020-10-25 3599842b23554e9953577f4b00b07d71c30b2a5f 23 Muhyiddin Yassin Prime Minister of Malaysia 2 /feed/2020/10/25/yang-di-pertuan-agong-king-al-sultan-abdullah-rejects-a-proposal-by-embattled-prime-minister-muhyiddin-yassin-to-declare Yang di-Pertuan Agong King Al-Sultan Abdullah rejects a proposal by embattled Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to declare a state of emergency to fight a surge of COVID-19 cases. /feed/2021/08/15/reports-emerge-of-the-imminent-resignation-of-prime-minister-of-malaysia-muhyiddin-yassin-on-august-16 Reuters 15 8b355d272bd6254a717d4bd69fcb0e88df962119 8 https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/malaysia-pm-muhyiddin-resign-monday-report-2021-08-15/ 2021 Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin will resign on Monday, news portal Malaysiakini reported, after losing his majority owing to infighting among the ruling coalition.
