KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysian politics is in for a bumpy week, with turmoil sweeping through Umno, a major component member of Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's beleaguered Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition, and mounting concern over the Premier's health.
The simmering tensions in Umno have broken out into the open in recent days over plans by the faction headed by party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to withdraw its support for the Muhyiddin administration as early as this week, according to senior Umno officials close to ongoing discussions.
