YAB Tan Sri Dato’ Haji  Muhyiddin Haji Mohd Yassin has delivered a speech today – speech as follows:

I have addressed His Majesty The Yang di-Pertuan Agong at 12.30 pm this afternoon at the National Palace.

In the facing session, I handed over the letter of my resignation as Prime Minister and the entire Cabinet of Ministers under Article 43 (4) of the Federal Constitution as I have lost the support of the majority of Members of the House of Representatives. This means I and the rest of the Cabinet have resigned.

Although I initially suggested that legitimacy of me as Prime Minister is determined in Parliament, yet fifteen (15) Umno MPs have withdrawn support to me, and suggestions of the cross-party cooperation I put forward have been rejected by the opposition parties. Obviously, I have lost the support of the majority. So, there is no need for my legitimacy as Prime Minister to be determined in Parliament.

A media statement was issued today by the National Palace, media statement as follows:

It is informed that HRH Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Al-Musta'in Billah agreed to meet The Honorable Prime Minister Tan Sri Mahiaddin bin Md. Yassin at the National Palace, today.

His Majesty also agreed to meet the Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki bin Ali, Attorney-General Tan Sri Idrus Harun, and Chairman of the Election Commission Datuk Haji Abdul Ghani bin Salleh at 11.00 am at Istana Negara.

A media statement has been issued by the YAB Prime Minister regarding the economic sector facilities – media statement as follows:

On August 8, I announced social sector facilities for individuals who have received a complete vaccination. The facilities include cross-state or district for long-distance couples, long-distance children for Phase 1 of the National Recovery Plan (NRP), and cross-district, dine-in, and outdoor sports activities for states in Phase 2 of the NRP and beyond.

I also note that restaurant operators have displayed information on the number of employees who have received complete vaccinations to help customers choose the premises they want to visit. There are also premise owners who want to wait until all their employees are fully vaccinated before starting dine-in activities to create a safer premise environment.
