Dr M and the ‘grand coalition’


Let the games begin: There has been a rather cautious welcome from Pakatan Harapan parties to the formation of Parti Pribumi with Dr Mahathir as chairman and Muhyiddin as president.

The driving force behind Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia is no less than the once formidable Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad but news of its formation has failed to fire up public imagination.

A day after Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was hospitalised, a rumour went around that Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had visited him.
