According to Guangming.com , although Malaysia election voting has ended for several days, since none of the political parties or alliances have reached the threshold for simple majority of seats in the parliament, the highest head of state Abdullah has not received the nomination for prime minister candidates. This is also the first time in Malaysia that a "floating parliament" has appeared.

National countries cannot be without a monarch in one day, and Malaysia cannot be without a prime minister for so many days. Seeing the intensification of the struggle between the parties and the delay in reaching an agreement to form a coalition government, Abdullah really couldn't wait and decided to take action to clean up the mess himself.
Abdullah said in an interview with reporters that he will make the final decision as soon as possible. When asked if he would talk to members of Congress one by one, he just smiled and did not give a clear answer.
Like the former suzerain country, Britain, Malaysia is also a constitutional monarchy country. The Supreme Head of State, that is, the King, has the highest administrative power. Although most of the time it is nominal, whenever the country and government fall into chaos, the Supreme Head of State becomes a political stabilizer to calm the hearts of the people and plays a key role in checking and balancing the political forces of all parties.

What is different from the British royal family is that Malaysia's Supreme Head of State is not a lifetime system, and it must wait until the current monarch dies or abdicates before he can succeed the throne. Like members of the MP, the Malaysian king changes every five years, but the election method is much simpler.
Malaysia has a total of 13 states, 9 of which have their own hereditary monarchs, and the supreme head was chosen among the rulers of these 9 states. Moreover, they don’t have to canvass votes like candidates for parliament, because as early as the beginning of Malaysia’s independence, the government set a rotating list of the highest heads of state based on the qualifications of the rulers of each state, and everyone can take turns to be the banker. Charles If I knew about this, would I feel that I had been waiting for decades?

However, the rulers of Kyushu, Malaysia are not as obsessed with the throne as Charles. Most of the time, the Supreme Head of State is just a "vase". He cannot be re-elected without real power. How can he be free to be a local emperor on his own territory?
Moreover, during the time when the rulers of each state served as the supreme head, he could not take care of his territory and had to find a regent to act on state affairs. 0. When he returned, he was already undermined by the Regent. Wouldn't it be worth the loss?
So the rulers of each state are not very interested in the throne, and some people just give up. For example, Duangu, the 15th king of Malaysia, abdicated early in 2019. No one knows the specific reason, but not long before he stepped down, he just married a beautiful little wife.

There is no way. Abdullah, who should have succeeded to the throne in 2021, could only come forward. But something happened not long after he came on stage.
In February 2020, then-Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir resigned due to a coup, and his deputy Muhyiddin took the opportunity to take office. As a result, he stepped down because of another party struggle before he was in the position of prime minister. Amid all kinds of controversies and doubts, Ismail, from the traditional Malaysian political party UMNO , took over the important task and became the current Prime Minister.
It would be fine if you change three prime ministers in two years, but former Malaysian government officials are deeply involved in scandals and lawsuits, and various farces are staged one after another, and it is annoying to see them.

However, Abdullah showed amazing political skills and determination during this period. After Mahathir resigned, facing the opposition party's request for a change of leadership, Abdullah ran between major parties and urged them to abide by parliamentary procedures and stabilize the situation as much as possible.
At the outbreak of the epidemic in January last year, Abdullah exercised the power of the Supreme Head of State of Emergency and successfully avoided the collapse of social order. After Muhyiddin stepped down, Abdullah opposed the opposition and urged UMNO to propose a prime minister to ensure a smooth political transition.
It can be said that Abdullah and the royal family are like Malaysians. If they had not turned the tide, the current situation might have been even more chaotic.

Now, when the results of the parliamentary election are not yet determined, Abdullah will exercise the power of the Supreme Head of State again. According to the trend of "fragmentation" in Malaysia's political arena, it is not ruled out that more constitutional crises will occur in the future. The ex hugged the beauty and left after patting her butt. Only Abdullah was left to clean up the mess by herself. It was really sad.
