Endorse Muhyiddin and his government? Dr M says not prepared to do so yet
“For now (there are no tainted leaders in the Cabinet)… but these are powerful people. They have the power to bring down the government.”
(MMO) – Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said he is withholding his approval of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s administration.
Yesterday, the new prime minister said he would like for Dr Mahathir to endorse his administration after expressing his wish for this government to be one that served all Malaysians.
Dr Mahathir explained to Sinar Harian in an interview that he would not endorse Muhyiddin as the latter has shown no aversion to associating with “irregulars, thieves, robbers and kleptocrats.”
“I cannot do that,” he said.
When it was pointed out to him that those whom he alluded to were not included in Muhyiddin’s Cabinet, Dr Mahathir suggested that it was inevitable.
