Dr M proposes to lead 'unity government', say sources

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters): Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is proposing to lead a unity government and has invited lawmakers from across rival political parties to join, political sources said on Tuesday (Feb 25), after his shock resignation as premier.

Dr Mahathir proposed the idea of a grand coalition to leaders of the major political parties he met on Tuesday morning, including those from his recently collapsed coalition and the parties they defeated in the 2018 election, the sources said.
