In the 2020 Malaysian political crisis, Muhyiddin Yassin was appointed the eighth prime minister, and the coalition government of Pakatan Harapan was ousted after a 22 month rule following the 2018 election.
Muhyiddin bin Haji Muhammad Yassin (Jawi:     ; born 15 May 1947) is a Malaysian politician who has served as the 8th Prime Minister of Malaysia since March 2020. As a result of the ongoing 2020 Malaysian political crisis, Mahathir's abrupt resignation on 24 February 2020 led to Muhyiddin being declared Prime Minister by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on 29 February 2020. At the federal level, it was shortly the government and ruling coalition from its victory in the 2018 Malaysian general election in May 2018 to February 2020 for almost 22 months when Mahathir Mohamad, the 7th Prime Minister in its administration and from it resigned and triggered the 2020 Malaysian political crisis.
