#KiniNews: 'I never threatened to sack Guan Eng' - Mahathir denies claim; Zahid's DNAA remains

[KiniNews] Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad today denied Lim Guan Eng’s claim that he had threatened to sack the DAP leader from his cabinet, saying it was a “blatant lie”.

According to Mahathir, he always respected Lim’s position as a component party leader even when they had different views on certain matters.

“I never threatened to sack Guan Eng. That is a blatant lie. He was the head of DAP, a coalition member. I must respect his position," he said.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s discharge not amounting to acquittal (DNAA) over a graft case stays in place.

The Kuala Lumpur High Court this morning denied leave for the Malaysian Bar to proceed with its judicial review.
