The former PM also says that Muhyiddin is riding a tiger which could end up eating him.
Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad today revealed that PKR president Anwar Ibrahim had proposed to become the deputy prime minister if Mahathir succeeded in forming the new government.
However, Mahathir said he rejected Anwar's proposal and wanted his wife, Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, to be the deputy prime minister. Muhyiddin had taken Bersatu out of Harapan, and together with rogue PKR MPs, BN, PAS and GPS, formed a new coalition and took control of the government.Mahathir is adamant that Bersatu should not work with Umno, which is part of BN, as many of its leaders are on trial for corruption.
