Dr Mahahtir: I'll keep Waytha for now

  • 5 years ago
Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad said de facto unity minsiter P Waythamoorthy still has a job for now.

Previously, Dr Mahathir reportedly said that Waythamoorthy's future in the cabinet would be determined following the outcome of the inquest into firefighter Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim's death.

Waythamoorthy was accused of having flamed tensions, when he and three other ministers chastised police for their initial remarks blaming fighting at the temple to two Indian groups.

A social media campaign calling for Waythamoorthy to resign gained over 300,000 signatures at the time.
