Dr M poised to be Perikatan's de facto leader, says Salleh Keruak

PETALING JAYA: The appointment of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (pic) as the advisor of "State Government 4" (SG4) is a move to make him the de facto leader of Perikatan Nasional, says former federal minister Datuk Seri Salleh Said Keruak.

"This explains why (Perikatan chairman) Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was not invited for the meeting on the four states of Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu when PAS met Dr Mahathir early this month," Salleh said in a Facebook post late Thursday (Sept 14).
