Malaysia's King has asked leaders from different parties to work together to address the economic and health woes facing the country.
During the meeting, the leaders of different parties expressed opinions and reached an agreement on ending previous political conflicts and opening up a new political landscape.
Earlier, on August 16, Prime Minister Muhyiddin announced that he and his cabinet had resigned due to the loss of confidence of the majority of MPs in the National Assembly, and expressed hope that a new government would be formed as soon as possible.
King Abdullah accepted his resignation, but appointed Muhyiddin as interim prime minister until a new prime minister is appointed. The King said that this time is not suitable to hold elections due to the complicated situation of the epidemic./.
