Struggling To Make Sense Of The Current Political Situation? You're Not Alone.

What a week for Malaysia!

Two days ago (23 February), Malaysia was shocked by a series of changes within the Malaysian government.

1. Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad resigned and was appointed Interim Prime Minister by His Majesty The Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah.
2. Several meetings and press conferences took place throughout the day.
3. The government cabinet has been dissolved. 

Despite everything that is happening, there are some people who are still struggling to make sense of the political situation right now.

Many even took their confusion to Twitter, and here are some of our favourite ones:
