PETALING JAYA - Former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad on Saturday said he should not be blamed for resigning as premier in 2020.
“Besides, I was also aware that the Pakatan Harapan government would fall due to detractors from Bersatu and PKR ,” he said, in reference to PH’s coalition parties. “Instead, they pounded on the table and told me to leave PH now, and it seemed they were rejecting me,” he said. Three premiers have come and gone under Sultan Abdullah’s rule so far, owing to a series of political ousters and resignations, starting with Dr Mahathir, who resigned in Feb 2020, followed by Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who was appointed by the King the following month.
