Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has been granted an audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong at Istana Negara in Kuala Lumpur this afternoon. 

Malaysiakini understands that it is a pre-cabinet meeting that has been brought forward. These meetings are normally held on Wednesdays.

The prime minister is also scheduled to address the nation at 5pm this evening on the national recovery plan.

The Agong has been meeting various political leaders over the past week triggering speculation of another twist in the ongoing power tussle.

However, most of the leaders told the press that their audiences with the king had focused mainly on the economy and the nation's Covid-19 response.

Muhyiddin's audience today comes a day before a special Conference of Rulers meeting.
