Mahathir, who was named as the main speaker for the “Pertahan Mandat Rakyat” gathering in Kuala Lumpur, did not turn up.“It was not in his programme. I think the organisers just put his name there to pull in the crowds,” he said on condition of anonymity.When contacted, another aide confirmed that the event was not on Mahathir’s “list of speaking programmes”.
FMT has also learnt that Mahathir declined to comment after watching the live telecast of Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s announcement of his Cabinet line-up yesterday.Mahathir previously said he would wait to see Muhyiddin’s Cabinet members before agreeing to meet him. “Anwar is always crazy for the PM’s post. He cannot be the prime minister… In the past, he had so much support. But now, people support me,” Mahathir said in a closed-door session with his supporters just hours after Muhyiddin was sworn in on March 1.
“This criticism has only created a deeper mistrust from Mahathir, especially since Muhyiddin’s side, the man he labelled as Brutus, has been careful not to criticise the old man,” said one source.
