Giving MPs positions not a long-term guarantee for Muhyiddin - analysts

Offering parliamentarians positions in the government or government-linked bodies in exchange for their political support may not provide long-term security for Muhyiddin Yassin's position as prime minister, according to analysts.

Citing the recent viral audio of an individual who sounded like Muhyiddin making such offers, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) lecturer Dr Mazlan Ali said it appears to confirm the strategy of luring support from Perikatan Nasional backbenchers by offering them various positions.
