Dr M resigned as Bersatu chair because he did not want to renege on promise, says Kadir Jasin


PETALING JAYA: It was a heated affair on Sunday (Feb 23), where most of the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia leadership council members tried to get Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to renege on his promise to hand over the premiership to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim after the Apec Summit in November.

Veteran journalist Datuk A. Kadir Jasin (pic) wrote in his blog that the 94-year-old appealed to them not to force him to abandon his principles and go back on his promise.
