PETALING JAYA: Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Pribumi) chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is attending a conference in Sudan but is trying to make it home in time for Saturday's Bersih 5 rally.
However, a source said the former prime minister will be cutting it thin and there is still no confirmation whether Dr Mahathir will be able to reach in time.
Facebook fanpage Saya Sayang Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad uploaded two images on Thursday, one showing Dr Mahathir in Sudan. It is believed that he is there to speak at a few conferences.
The second image was of a poster of Dr Mahathir along with the logo of Khartoum's International University of Africa.
Dr Mahathir appeared in a video on Wednesday urging Malaysians to participate in the rally.
Clad in a Bersih t-shirt, Dr Mahathir said Malaysians need to show their dissatisfaction with the government through participation in Bersih at Dataran Merdeka and other places.
"I hope all Malaysians will participate in the demonstrations by Bersih," he said in the two-minute video.
In 2015, Dr Mahathir attended Bersih 4.0 with his wife.
On Sunday, Dr Mahathir was seen wearing a 'free Anwar' badge at the Pakatan Harapan convention in Shah Alam.
However, Dr Mahathir banned protests and assemblies during his 22 years as prime minister.
