Dr Mahathir Mohamad will be sitting out the coming election in six states.
KUALA LUMPUR — Former two-time Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad will be sitting out the coming election in six states because some people think he is “too old” and “senile” to be a candidate.
Dr Mahathir was speaking to the press after a closed-door roundtable about the controversial “Malay Proclamation”, an initiative to unite the various Malay political groups under a common umbrella to strengthen their community’s rights and interest that he claimed to be weakening. But Mr Muhyiddin who is also Bersatu president ousted Dr Mahathir as prime minister and subsequently sacked the latter from the party.
