PETALING 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.

“Right or wrong, my opinion is that politics and party politics have to be put aside for the time being.

3. Walaubagaimanapun, saya telah dipanggil mengadap Yang diPertuan Agong kemudiannya, dan setelah berbincang selama lebih satu jam, Tuanku telah bersetuju menerima surat peletakan jawatan saya dan setelah itu menitah saya supaya menjadi Perdana Menteri Interim. 8. Sebenarnya saya telah janji akan letak jawatan untuk memberi peluang kepada Dewan Rakyat menentukan siapa yang akan mengganti saya. Jika benarlah saya masih disokong saya akan kembali. Jika tidak saya akan terima siapa sahaja yang dipilih.

11. Kesannya jika BERSATU sokong PAS dan UMNO maka parti-parti yang kalahlah yang akan diri Kerajaan. Kerajaan ini akan didominasi oleh UMNO sebagai parti yang terbesar.12. Saya sanggup terima ahli UMNO yang keluar UMNO dan menyertai parti lain. Tetapi UMNO akan sertai Kerajaan campuran ini sebagai Parti UMNO. Ini tidak dapat diterima oleh saya. Maka terpaksalah saya letak jawatan.

When u win an election, Carbinate members of the Govt have to come from ur party coz the work for the party & help convince people give them the mandate. So Sir u’re telling us that there is no competent individuals that can run the affairs of this country from ur party?

...and he is the ultimate lord .

Since the people give a chance to PH and screwed up the economy and worse than BN, why not give the old man another chance to finally make things right or a snap election

Intisari PC Tun. 1. He doesn’t have majority 2. Nobody has simple majority 3. Looking for unity government 4. Wants the power to appoint cabinet & not pressured by partisan 5. He wants to stay in power & have full authority to govern with no opposition. In short - Dictatorship

Maybe because he doesn’t have enough party support?

mpklang Tun M nak buat malaysia menjadi China government?

Bila penipu kena tipu dengan penipu

This man full of shit.

mpklang Dear chedetofficial, your concept is good but can only work in my country not in Malaysia; Most of your politicians are morally bankrupt. Pls do NOT let the thieves and robbers UMNO/PAS rule the country again... otherwise all will be removing themselves from criminal charges

What is the constitution and election for?

My respect Tun M. I know last year have a PM MALAYSIA team have protect me go. To KLIA . I no fly because the scammer is already standby at the airport car park., however I just want to say thank you very much for sayang TUN Dr MAHATHIR....

mpklang Too late to try and do this. You had a second chance, and you blew it. Again.

How is the merit of his son? If the person is unable, let the people decide. Not some made up merit.

Mcmlah kau ada merit sial!

Saya mau ini mcm... saya ckp jalan, lu orang semua jalan, saya ckp mkn, lu orang makan.. ini baru bagus punya kerajaan

Then we hv a govt without proper opposition. PM not anwerable to any1. Then we will hv a bigger crook than Najib & bigger scandal than 1MDB. How to get merit based. Educated but proud. Young but snobbish. Minister become like a King. Lawmakers shouting like monkey in Parliament

He has no rights now to say “I want”

In short he wants to a dictator without opposition.

I support u Tun..lets try Unity Gov... Too many jokers in party

Merit Minister can, then make them (ammend d law) only minister basic salary. Cannot hold any other post then minister. No benefits & privileges. Ministerial position is a job like all. Nothing else! No messing into judicial and legislation. Then it might work. Fly declare asset

Sudah tun

The most powerful independent MP

Cadangan Tun M ini...saya sokong..

Tun M wanted a non party-based government. It just like our national football team whereby their best players are selected or called up from the states/clubs.

I like this idea

How? Is this constitutionally possible?

People been bullied by politician since b4 independence!This is d right time to use ur own discretion so stay as int PM till the day u die & appoint only nonpoliticians as ur cabinet ministers, after all u r d caretaker.What matters most r d ppl.Politician juz a collateral damage

That should be the right way moving forward!! Not forever stagnant wherever it is.

Y now? Establish no jumping ships law instead! Keeps everyone in check. Traitors at bay!!! Sayangimalaysiaku

Merit-based means qualified brains! Can we also leave out Religious and Cultural conflicting issues from all groups Out as well? Mutual Respect should be promoted and encouraged more..

Kid minister is not merit based. Just saying la

this is better! you don't need to belong to any certain party. Just serve the nation

Merit based means 90% of the MPs don't qualify That's one big headache you have there

Does this mean change 'first past the post'. Maybe let voters choose the PM n elected PM is free to choose capable/qualified Malaysians, not necessary MPs as ministers. Elected MPs van be the check on the PM n cabinet. Ministers focus on work, not divide w constituency work.

hidup Tun

rezzasyazwani Oh god grant Tun M strength and good health. If you notice his voice seems tried yet he still doing his job and try his best to do what he could for Malaysia. Time to have strong and powerful and effective government. Not for the parties, For malaysia

drama king..a main actor behind the scenes...old but stilll corcky n snakey attitude..power crazy

That's honky dory 😁 only needs party when not in power

Get lost traitor

i suggest all minister are from top professionals in their respective fields. enough with politicians being minister and then clueless about what they should do.

Sokong

Agreed.. this is the most needed now for 🇲🇾

How does Umno & PAS fits into this equation! All are useless and corrupted!

Reading between the lines, He wants to be a DICTATOR, Absolute Power, where all his Ministers are Yes man. Sorry, this is 2020 not the same UMNO you had corrupted !

Dr M has my full support and prayers in this matter. Only the best brains should be in the cabinet. Enough of power crazed politicians.

His party decided to leave PH and talked with UMNO. If UMNO is accepted en bloc (as requested by UMNO) the country will be effectively ruled by the party that had lost, because of their numbers. He couldn’t accept that, so he resigned. Fair enough to me.

tiniz I love this idea even more

VERYKOO3 If done earlier, post GE 14, we won’t have flying car minister, special escort minister, minister for developer, twitter minister and disunity minister.

He creates the chaos just because he doesn't want to handover the premiership?
