Dr M: Ruling party can reject mentri besar candidate endorsed by constitutional monarch

PETALING JAYA: The ruling party of a state can reject a mentri besar candidate endorsed by the constitutional monarch through a vote of no-confidence, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (pic).

In a post on his blog chedet.cc, the Prime Minister listed the events that led to the adoption of the country's Federal Constitution, where it was agreed that Malaya (and later Malaysia) would be a democracy where the people would choose its government.
