PETALING JAYA: A promise on the leadership transition remains but a prime minister must command the support of the majority in Parliament, says Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. “Even if I wanted to break the promise, I can only be PM if I have the majority support in Parliament. The issue of power transition was brought to the fore as no formal timeframe has been set for it. However, the 94-year-old Dr Mahathir has repeatedly said that he would abide by his promise to hand over the premiership to Anwar. Dr Mahathir also revealed that DAP was not happy that he attended Gerakan’s Chinese New Year Open House.
