KUALA LUMPUR - Long overshadowed by colorful contemporaries, the man who emerged from a week of turmoil as Malaysia’s new prime minister on Sunday is a publicity-shy picture of conservatism.
“Probably that is what Malaysia needs now rather than a camera-hunting, publicity-stunt type of man.” “I am a Malay first, I want to say that,” Muhyiddin said in 2010. “But being Malay does not mean that you are not Malaysian.” “Muhyiddin is willing to accept anything. He says politics is more important than principles,” Mahathir said, vowing to call for a session of parliament to test whether Muhyiddin had a majority.
One person who knows Muhyiddin well said it was now his time to shine after long playing second fiddle. “People don’t know Muhyiddin that well even though he has been around for a long time,” the person close to the prime minister said. “People forget that he is Anwar’s contemporary.”
