COMMENT: In recent days, talk about Mahathir stepping down has been making its rounds. I don’t believe there was anything sinister in it this time. In fact, it was Mahathir himself who started it by saying that he wanted to resign, in a fit of anger perhaps.
All present at the Bersatu meeting last Monday could see that the prime minister was one unhappy man that day over the Johore exco debacle and his constant exchanges with the state royalty. Thankfully, Muhyiddin Yassin was able to defuse the tense situation and he did the right thing by being apologetic to Mahathir over the Johor exco issue.
However, I think Muhyiddin’s aide went over the top in the defence of his boss by stating that an “influential person” offered Muhyiddin the prime minister’s job soon after Pakatan Harapan won GE14. That was unnecessary and out of line because, even if it was true, Muhyiddin was never a contender for the premiership. A case of an over-zealous and over-enthusiastic aide!...Subscribe for only RM200 a year, or sign in if you're already a subscriber.
