Syukri told those eager for Mahathir ‘s return that when he appointed many anti-Anwar members to key Cabinet posts, the veteran leader had dismissed PKR ‘s objections.
He referred to Mahathir nominating Mohamed Azmin Ali as the minister of economic affairs, saying that the former deputy chairman of the party had eventually committed treachery against the PH alliance. “Malaysia Stays Active in the Pandemic of COVID-19” “Dr Mahathir ‘s Media Counselor says that PNB CEO is Removed using Certificate Attacks” Datuk Kadir Jasin reported that Permodalan Nasional Berhad chief executive Abdul Jalil Rasheed was pushed out by anonymous opponents who referred to supposed inconsistencies in his academic qualifications.
