Dr M: Why back Bersatu’s Harapan exit if I had full support

Bersatu chairperson-elect Dr Mahathir Mohamad said he saw no reason for Bersatu to quit Pakatan Harapan as the coalition had given him his full support.

This was after Bersatu information chief Radzi Jidin accused Mahathir of supporting the party’s exit from Harapan before having a last-minute change of heart.

In a video message today, Mahathir said he did not see the need to leave Harapan following a meeting on Feb 21, where the coalition ultimately left it up to him to set a date for when he would resign as prime minister.
