Malaysia parliament battle resumes with Muhyiddin in hot seat

With focus on COVID, opposition not expected to push no-confidence motion

KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysia's parliament reopened on Monday after a seven-month suspension, marking the latest crucial moment for embattled Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.

Opponents will be looking for chances to attack a prime minister they believe lacks majority support, especially after the biggest party in his coalition officially broke away. Nevertheless, experts say Muhyiddin is unlikely to be unseated during the five-day session.
