Muhyiddin: Dr M initiated Bersatu's exit from Pakatan, but changed his mind at the last minute


PETALING JAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was the one who initiated the move for Bersatu to leave Pakatan Harapan but decided against it at the very last minute when he received support from Pakatan for him to continue as prime minister, says Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin (pic).

The Perikatan Nasional chairman claimed that Dr Mahathir's decision to step down as prime minister in February 2020 was not because he no longer had the support of the party's supreme council.
