A source close to the Gua Musang MP, better known as Ku Li, confirmed the meeting with Mahathir to the FMT, saying that the two veteran politicians had met on October 26.
Another source close to Mahathir told the FMT that the proposal to form a unity government was seen as one of the ways to continue “moving forward” while continuing to follow Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s advice recently.
“It is a proposal in the direction of a unity government. He (Mahathir) repeated what he has said before this. It is one of the ways to continue advancing following Agong’s advice ”.
