Dr M hints at three-year maximum stay as Malaysian PM
THURSDAY, MAY 09, 2019
PUTRAJAYA - Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said Thursday (May 9) that he will not see out a full term and will step aside after fixing problems his Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition claims it inherited after forming the government exactly a year ago.

Like most Malaysians I went to bed in the early hours of Thursday morning after hearing news that the Pakatan Harapan (Alliance of Hope) coalition of four parties had won a simple majority of 113 out of 222 parliamentary seats in the 14th general election. It was earth-shattering news: the Barisan Nasional (National Front) government that ruled Malaysia for 61 years was now in opposition.
WHEN dawn broke after the longest night in Malaysian politics, it became clear that Barisan Nasional’s defeat in the general election was devastating.
