KUALA LUMPUR, March 28 — Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was attempting to play God in seeking to dictate who should be prime minister of Malaysia, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said today.
Ahmad Zahid was responding to the Dr Mahathir’s remarks yesterday suggesting that he, as deputy prime minister, was not certain to succeed Datuk Seri Najib Razak even if he steps down as prime minister.
"Maybe, he acts like a god," he told Malay Mail Online when met at the Parliament today.
Dr Mahathir is spearheading the Save Malaysia movement alongside former Barisan Nasional leaders, opposition parties and civil society members calling for Najib's resignation.
During the Kongres Rakyat 2016 forum yesterday, Dr Mahathir said the group will push for the Malay Rulers to intervene in the current political scenario here.
The 91-year old said that despite wanting Najib to leave, however, he did not want a change in government.
