Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin will tender his resignation to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong tomorrow.
Muhyiddin conveyed his decision when he met Bersatu MPs at the Perikatan Nasional (PN) headquarters this morning, according to Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Special Functions) Mohd Redzuan Md Yusof.
"We just finished the meeting. Tomorrow, there will be a special cabinet meeting. After that, he will head to Istana Negara to submit his resignation," Redzuan told Malaysiakini.
Redzuan said Muhyiddin informed the MPs that he had exhausted all avenues to sustain his administration and resigning was the last resort.
If his resignation is accepted, Muhyiddin will be the shortest-serving prime minister - 15 months. This is about six months shy of Mahathir's second stint as premier.
