Resource Centre : The PR Portrait of PM8
When Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin rose to the top post in the country a year back, he was not seen as the most charismatic or vocal leader compared to the other candidates who were vying for the Premiership at the time.

Live & Learn : A Year of Perikatan Nasional: How Have They Fared in Government?
Horse trading, calls for snap elections, the most dramatic budget vote in our nation's history, a state of emergency—all against the backdrop of a global health and economic crisis.

We look back at how the government has navigated these challenges, and how well it’s performed, with MPs from both Perikatan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan.
