Dr Mahathir Mohamad lashed out at his former political aide, who claimed that the nonagenarian was delighted with the Sheraton Move, which led to the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan government, but does not show it.

Without mincing words, the former premier branded Zahid Md Arif as “the biggest liar in Malaysian politics”.

Mahathir claimed that it was Zahid who wanted to change the government and tried in vain to persuade him to join the move.
