Dr M sacked from Petronas


High office: Dr Mahathir working from the 86th floor of the Petronas Twin Tower

PETALING JAYA: The axe fell on Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad when the Cabinet made a unanimous decision to remove him as adviser to Petronas following his move to initiate a citizens’ declaration demanding the ouster of Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

The move by the Government now raises questions over the status of the former Prime Minister’s other appointed positions – as chairman of national carmaker Proton and the Perdana Leadership Foundation.
