Malaysia’s ruling coalition named their candidate for chief minister in the key state of Sabah on Monday, in a move that could fray ties between the parties behind Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
Muhyiddin’s Bersatu party named one of its own, Hajiji Mohd Noor, to be sworn into office at the state palace Tuesday, Hajiji said in a televised press conference. He added it was a “unanimous decision” by the coalition that won 38 of 73 seats in the Sabah state election on Saturday.
