17 Aug Consider This: Politics (Part 2) – Will It Be PN, BN, PH 2.0?

The Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s meet with political party leaders at the Palace following the resignation of the Prime Minister and his Perikatan Nasional government yesterday. While the audience was held in camera, leaders reported that the Monarch advised political leaders to seek not just a new Prime Minister but to move away from “old politics”. MPs were also asked to submit that preferred choice for PM by 4pm tomorrow. Are we any closer to getting a new government?
