Dr Mahathir: We'll wait and see

Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad is taking a wait-and-see approach over whether PAS will honour its pledge to support him in event of a no-confidence vote to oust him.

“I will wait. If there is a no-confidence vote, I want to see if PAS supports me or not,” he told reporters when asked to comment on PAS’ pledge to support him.

He was speaking to reporters after visiting the Ministry of Defence’s headquarters in Kuala Lumpur today.

Previously, Mahathir claimed that PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang promised that his party would not be campaigning for Umno in the Semenyih by-election during a meeting between the two on Feb 15.
