Mahathir said he is looking at a half-year tenure as prime minister should Pakatan Harapan regain power, adding that he intends to fulfil his promise and hand over power to Anwar.
KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 — Former two-time prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has set his sights on the premiership for the third time and is confident he can show whoever succeeds him how things can be handled and resolved.
Despite scepticism among PKR members of Dr Mahathir keeping his promise, he said he has always kept his end of the bargain, citing his first retirement at the end of 2002 after over two decades as prime minister. He said he will still adhere to the original plan of stepping down after the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit slated for this November in Kuala Lumpur, which he promised several months before the Pakatan government collapsed in February.
