“I didn't resign. But maybe the MPs from the ruling coalition don't understand how our constitution works.“If PH isn't government anymore, than how was I to be the prime minister? So how could I have resigned if I didn't have a position anymore?” he told the Dewan Rakyat today during the debate on the Supply Bill 2020.

“But when we were in the government, we sabotage our own government because we wanted to be prime minister. Thank you,” said Dr Mahathir, hinting at Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who is Bersatu president and Pagoh MP.He however has announced forming a new party, last Friday and revealed the party's name as Parti Pejuang Tanah Air, pending Registrar of Societies approval.

Hasbullah also blamed Dr Mahathir for the fall of PH and hence many developments in his constituency were stalled due to the change of government.
