Support for both candidates


SOON after Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad decided not to hold the Education Minister portfolio and named Simpang Renggam MP Dr Maszlee Malik to take his place, Malaysians wasted no time and registered two petitions on change.org in support of both candidates for the role.

The first petition was registered on May 18 shortly after Dr Mahathir’s announcement, backing the premier to take up the ministerial role.
