Dr M: King won't see me, 'losers' will form a gov't
 

 

Prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad said that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah did not grant him audience to present that he commands majority support of MPs.

 

At a press conference this morning, Mahathir said Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin will be sworn in as the eighth prime minister without commanding majority support.

 

"The loser would form a government, while the winner will become the opposition.

 

"It is a very strange situation," Mahathir told reporters at Yayasan Al Bukhary in Kuala Lumpur.

According to the Bersatu chairperson, he has already received the support of 114 parliamentarians.

 

112 is the minimum number needed for a simple majority in the Dewan Rakyat, which has 222 members.

Dr M: Muhyiddin is not the right PM

 

Dr Mahathir Mohamad maintains that Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin is not the “right prime minister” based on the law as the latter does not command majority support from MPs.

 

Addressing the media, Mahathir labels the Yang-DiPertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah’s decision to appoint Muhyiddin as the country’s eighth premier as “strange” considering that his bloc insists it has the larger number of support.

 

 

“The king has made the decision not to see me anymore but to appoint Muhyiddin as prime minister so I don’t have the chance to tell the king that he (Muhyiddin) does not have the majority. That’s it...I cannot communicate with the palace [...]” he says.

 

The next step would be for the MPs to wait for a Parliament sitting to be called and for the MPs to declare in the august House their support for Muhyiddin or not.

 

“Of course they, (Muhyiddin’s bloc) can delay… but when that person goes to Parliament and Parliament rejects him, then he cannot be prime minister.”

 

Other statements he made at the press conference are as follow:

 

• Mahathir feels most betrayed by Muhyiddin. He adds: “He (Muhyiddin) was working on this for a long time and now he has succeeded.” [Read the full story here].
• He claims he wanted to wait until the corruption trial involving Umno leaders such as former premier Najib Abdul Razak is over as he will not work with people found guilty of graft.
• However, he claims Muhyiddin was “willing to accept anything. He (Muhyiddin) says politics is more important than principles”.
• Mahathir expresses concern that the next Parliament sitting will be delayed, during which time there will be an opportunity for the 114 current MPs supporting him to be wooed by Muhyiddin's camp.
