The BN supreme council today declared its undivided support for Muhyiddin Yassin as the prime minister and pledged to back him in the event of a no-confidence vote in the Dewan Rakyat.

However, BN was not immediately on board with the proposal to turn Perikatan Nasional into a formal coalition stating that the respective component parties comprising Umno, MCA, MIC and PBRS needed to undergo "certain processes".
