Malaysian ex-DPM expects opposition to form new alliance by year-end
Kuala Lumpur
MALAYSIA's opposition expects to hammer out a new alliance by the end of the year as more members of scandal-tainted Prime Minister Najib Razak's ruling party jump ship, a sacked deputy prime minister said on Tuesday.
The pact will aim to unseat Mr Najib, who remains firmly in power despite intense pressure to step down over the multi-billion-dollar scandal, and remove the ruling coalition, led by his United Malays National Organisation (Umno).
