On November 22 local time, Malaysia's highest head of state Abdullah said that because his proposal to let Hope Alliance Chairman Anwar and National League Chairman Muhyiddin cooperate to form a new government was rejected, and he will personally select the prime minister.
According to Reuters on November 22, Abdullah told the media outside the Malaysian palace that he would "make a decision as soon as possible" and asked Malaysian people to accept any decisions about the formation of the government.
According to previous reports, in the 15th Malaysian general election held on November 19, the Hope League and the National League won 82 seats and 73 seats respectively, ranking in the top two, but neither of them could cross half. The National Front, which was dominated by Malay national unity ( UMNO ), has suffered the worst defeat in previous elections, winning only 30 seats. For the first time in Malaysia's history, there was no "hanging parliament" with more than half of the "hanging parliament", and it is still unclear how to form a new government.
htmlOn November 20, Abdullah originally asked leaders of various political parties to submit the candidates for prime ministers by 14:00 local time on November 21st (same as Beijing time). But on the 21st, Abdullah announced that the deadline for forming the government would be extended by another 24 hours.However, according to Reuters on November 22, due to the National Front’s refusal to cooperate with either party, the new Malaysian government was still "difficult to childbirth" that day.
It is reported that in order to break the deadlock, Abdullah proposed that rivals Anwar and Muhyiddin in the general election cooperate to form a "coal government", but Muhyiddin said he would not cooperate with Anwar.
Malaysia's highest head of state usually plays the role of "Xujun", but people who he believes can be appointed as prime minister.
