00:01Bersatu Vice President Ronald Kiandi's call for Muhyiddin Yassin to step down as president
00:06means that the party's internal crisis can no longer be resolved behind closed doors, an analyst says.
00:14Shaza Shukri of International Islamic University Malaysia said
00:17Muhyiddin must immediately resolve the conflict to avoid the perception that he is clinging on to the post.
00:23Yesterday, Kiandi became the first senior leader to call for the former prime minister
00:28to relinquish the top post in Bersatu, accusing him of failing to effectively handle the party's internal crisis.
00:36Asmi Hassan, a fellow at the National Council of Professors, said
00:40Kiandi's outbursts could see Muhyiddin come under pressure from other senior leaders
00:45and deepen the crisis in the party.
00:48Ahmad Zaharuddin Sani, Ahmad Sabri of Global Asia Consulting, however,
00:52described Kiandi's remarks as populist.
00:55He said that when Bersatu was wiped out at the Sabah polls,
00:59Kiandi did not step down and instead found it easier to point fingers at the president
01:04as if it were the sole responsibility of Muhyiddin.
