KUALA LUMPUR: It was a swearing-in with a difference as hundreds of Malaysians and many motorists gathered outside Istana Negara in anticipation of the return of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as Prime Minister of the country.
Media workers and supporters started camping at Istana Negara’s Gate 2 since 3pm yesterday, when they received word that the swearing-in would be held at 5.30pm. The hour came and went but there was no news, only suspense.
