Emergency won't solve problems of a minority govt - analyst

The state of emergency declared today amid mounting political unrest within the ruling Perikatan Nasional coalition could put a brake on any attempt at toppling the government of Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, analysts said.

However, they cautioned that Muhyiddin's announcement earlier today, part of the government's efforts to combat rising Covid-19 infections, would not be a permanent solution to the instability of the PN administration.
