Dr M says he wants a merit-based government, not party-basedPETALING JAYA: Interim Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad says he wants a Cabinet built of capable individuals that does not have to cleave to party affiliations. He creates the chaos just because he doesn't want to handover the premiership?

He couldn’t accept that, so he resigned. Fair enough to me.
