PETALING JAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad says he hopes to lead a non-partisan administration which prioritises the national interest.

The interim Prime Minister said “rightly or wrongly, politics and political parties must be set aside for the time being”.

He said there were allegations that with support from all sides, he could not decide who to pick to form the government or that he had no intention to relinquish his position as prime minister, on top of being “power-crazy”.“To me, power and position is a means to an end or to reach an objective, which is for the benefit of the nation, ” he added.

“If it is true that I do command the support , I will return . Otherwise, I will accept anyone who is chosen.

You the last in the list. You not supported by the majority. And you are forcing PH out. You are trading Malaysia's future with Unity Gov't that has the making to build another Najib.... kleptocrat and authoritarian

Bahahahahaha! And he’s not obsessed about being a PM?

Thank you Tun Mahathir for your love and sincere care towards the country's well-being.

You have never set aside politics. Why should others?

Its time to set aside rhetorics and honour your word. Enough of acting. You know very well how Malays who love you would react, with pity,love and support. You garner it well, but you've been doing it far too long that Malaysians have all realised.

With all due respect Tun, let it go (the control and power), let it go.

Rather too late. Good 2 start wt u stepping aside & allow these new set & new age fighting politicians resolve d impasse.

Malaysia need a politician like him to lead the nation and the people.

Cermin diri sendiri, chedetofficial . And come back later.

Set aside this “expired” PM please...

One man rules all. good or bad? Only if there is a succession plan, maybe it's not too bad.

I hope when you select the ministers and they reject you, please step down

SanjeevanSS Saatnya kejatuhan legasi Mahathir Umo dipanjangkan utk ini OMG😬😬😬

country economic boom 1st

sudah ko yang terlibat menguhuru harakan politik negara berlagak suci pulak.

Can Mahathir give commitment he will not bring Mukhriz into his unity cabinet? We all know that Mukhriz will lose his Kedah MB's job.

But you personally don’t seem like you are doing what you preach sir.

Bila dah tak brp ade nyawa sangat, nadanya macam ni

SAPROFIT. Always find ways to hook on host, drain the host until it die and take charge. Beware of SAPROFIT. Better still parasite.

When the pot is saying the kettle is black

DAP, Needs to learned this from Him. Don't too busy with you personal interest. Working time, Rakyat watching you DAP.

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? 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. 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.
