Muhyiddin reveals his hand, he wants Pak Lah to go

malaysianinsider - [...] His Cabinet colleagues have expected this day to come soon, noting that his body language and comments during meetings have been that of someone who was not on the same page with the prime minister. Muhyiddin was supposed to speak to the FT politicians about code of ethics but instead launched into an analysis of Abdullah's leadership and the challenging political landscape.

In his speech to the FT politicians, he sketched the current scenario in the country, noting that Umno and Barisan fared badly in the polls and lost the support of the young. The only consolation was that the BN snared 140 seats, eight short of its customary two-third majority in Parliament. He quoted liberally from Dr Mahathir’s criticism of Abdullah, saying that there must be drastic action in the party and leadership.

"We need to change, so that we don't go down and down. I'm quoting Dr M because he is a veteran leader who is worried that the Malays will lose power," he said, adding that neither Abdullah nor Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak nor supreme council members have framed the current political situation in these stark terms.
