“I don’t think Tun (Dr Mahathir) masterminded it (the move). Why does he want to resign (if he is the mastermind). We have to wait.”

Pakatan Harapan told the media that it has still not set a time and venue for “the replacement meeting”.

The Agong also accepted Dr Mahathir’s resignation as the seventh prime

He waved and smiled at media personnel gathered outside the gate as he left.

"Such political manipulation has affected the government’s effort to address economic and livelihood of Malaysian businesses and the ordinary rakyat."

Mahathir, 94, resigned this afternoon after the top brass of Barisan Nasional, Bersatu, PAS and a group of MPs led by former PKR deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali met last night for a "special meeting" to form a new political coalition to replace the current Pakatan Harapan administration and exclude Anwar.

“Agong has summoned Tun Dr Mahathir to Istana Negara at 5pm, please be there.”

“The people must be prioritised, not the politics of power struggle. The people are in power, not si pencatur kuasa (power broker)."

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had resigned as Prime Minister, according to a statement from the Prime Minister's Department today.

“No announcement. No press conference tonight.”
