Dealing with division within the ranks


IT was close to breaking fast time on Tuesday when news broke that Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had lost his position as Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia chairman. Calls and text messages began flooding party leaders’ phones confirming the news.

It hasn’t been an easy week for Dr Mahathir. Apart from losing the Bersatu chairmanship, his son, Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir, lost his position as Kedah Mentri Besar for the second time – collateral damage from Dr Mahathir tabling a no- confidence vote against Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
