Dr M: ‘I am only a temporary PM’


PUTRAJAYA: Recognising that his promise to make way for Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim after two years is a cornerstone of the Pakatan Harapan alliance, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad says he will keep his word and will only be a temporary PM.

This is despite calls from within Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia that he keeps the post until the next ­general election.
