What Does Gabungan Parti Sarawak Want From Muhyiddin's Government?

Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin became Malaysia’s 8th PM on Sunday on the back of support from 4 major factions.

Outside Bersatu, Umno and PAS, a key pillar of political support came in the form of Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) with its 18 MPs.

The big question now is, how Muhyiddin will manage these factions and navigates the power-sharing, considering that parties like GPS operate on a different wavelength than that of Bersatu, Umno or PAS.
