KUALA LUMPUR – Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad rebuts allegations that his resignation sparked the political crisis.
The 94-year-old former premiere on his Official Facebook post denies Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s claim that all of this unprecedented turmoil started when Dr. Mahathir issued his resignation as head of the state.
“The Prime Minister alleged that the political crisis began when I, Mahathir Mohamad, resigned as prime minister,” referring to the televised speech of the new PM.

“If I kept supporting Mahathir, this political crisis will continue with a possible dissolution of the parliament.” he added.
