With Putrajaya won for now, battle for state governments begins
Malaysia’s crisis, triggered by the fall of the Pakatan Harapan administration, is far from over as the political realignment has also put several state governments on the brink of change.
(MMO) – While Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Perikatan Nasional have won the race for federal power for now, the fates of the Perak, Kedah, and Melaka state governments are all up in the air.

With the formation of Perikatan, however, that safety net has been removed.
