PENDANG: Former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin's voice trembled slightly when he spoke, but his message was loud and clear - Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad should be back as Prime Minister.

Daim, who had previously denied campaigning for Dr Mahathir, openly expressed support for his close friend and fellow Kedahan at a gathering at Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia office here Tuesday.
