Bersatu supreme council member Datuk A. Kadir Jasin in his blogpost said Dr Mahathir had on Feb 21 received full backing from PH presidential council to continue serving the country as prime minister until Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in November, where he would then plan to hand over the premiership to PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

“However, his happiness was short-lived. On the morning of Feb 23, his party held a meeting for its supreme council members where he was jolted by constant pressures form a majority of the members to exit PH and form alliance with Umno and Pas.“Dr Mahathir explained in detail what transpired from the Feb 21 meeting . He reiterated that he just couldn’t simply betray the trust that was given to him at the meeting.

Kadir, who was seated next to Dr Mahathir, said he then got on his feet and requested for the council members to respect Dr Mahathir’s decision and refrain from pushing him.
