Malaysia PM Resign – Burning Issues

Table of Contents

WHY SHOULD MALAYSIAN INTERNAL POLITICS CONCERN INDIA?

India along with many other countries have been trying to make Pakistan work more on terrorism. In that effort FATF’s Black List can play a constructive role, but Turkey, China and Malaysia have always blocked any attempt to send Pakistan to FATF black list
Other than that Malaysian Prime Minister (former) has raised Kashmir issue at UN and at various forums with inadequate knowledge
India changed palm oil importing policy because of Malaysia’s constant interference in India’s internal affairs

In late February 2020, Mahathir resigned as Prime Minister.
Mahathir’s Parti Bersatu and 11 MPs from Anwar’s subsequently withdrew from the Pakatan Harapan coalition, depriving the government of its majority in Parliament.

A new coalition will need at least 112 MPs – a majority of the 222 seats in Parliament – to form a government.
Mahathir Mohamad is supposed to enter a wider coalition by replacing the current ruling pact with the support of a majority of lawmakers that includes opposition parties Umno and Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS). (Malaysian Islamic Party)

Mahathir has the chance to come back to power but this time he will probably be more pro-Pakistan and more anti-India because the parties in his coalition will be of the far-right political spectrum
