1. Much has been said about the political uncertainty in the country over the past week. And the drama is expected to continue in days and weeks to come. 2. As Tan Sri Muhyiddin has been named the eighth Prime Minister of Malaysia. At the same time, The Youth and Sports Ministry has lost its minister which is aligned to former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. 3. So what will happen to the political appointees, who were given key roles, within the Youth and Sports Ministry?
