ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan (Bernama): Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad reiterated that only the Pakatan Harapan (PH) presidential council can determine who is prime minister.
Dr Mahathir said the suggestion by Opposition MPs that he remains as prime minister until the next general election was only their opinion.
"That is their opinion. The one who will determine is the Pakatan Harapan presidential council. We will decide," Dr Mahathir told a press conference with Malaysian journalists on Sunday (Oct 27) night.
The Prime Minister's two-day official visit to Turkmenistan ends on Monday (Oct 28).
In a press conference at the Parliament Lobby last Thursday (Oct 26), six Umno MPs voiced their support for Dr Mahathir to continue as prime minister until the next general election.
The six individuals were Mohd Shahar Abdullah (Paya Besar), Datuk Dr Adham Baba (Tenggara), Datin Mastura Mohd Yazid (Kuala Kangsar), Datuk Abdul Rahman Mohamad (Lipis), Datuk Seri Ismail Abdul Muttalib (Maran) and Datuk Ahmad Nazlan Idris (Jerantut).
Meanwhile, Dr Mahathir, who is here for a two-day official visit beginning on Sunday (Oct 27), said that he could not set a specific time frame for the transition of the country's leadership.
"I promise I won't stay too long, but I think based on my past experience I can try to correct all the wrongdoings of (former prime minister) Datuk Seri Najib (Tun Razak).
"When I am satisfied, I will not continue. But I cannot give the specific time as the country is in really big trouble that we cannot easily solve. We have a lot of debt and Datuk Najib has damaged the government machinery.
"That and other problems left by Najib, need to be fixed," he said.
Under the Pakatan agreement before the 14th General Election, it was stipulated that Dr Mahathir will be appointed prime minister and that he would later hand over leadership to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. However, no specific time frame was specified. – Bernama
