Dr Mahathir: PM determined by rakyat, not Johor Crown Prince

BEIJING: The post of prime minister is determined by the people, not the Johor Crown Prince.

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said this when asked to comment on what was said by Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim in a recent video.

"Instead of changing (JDT coach Benjamin) Mora, it's better to change the prime minister", Tunku Ismail said.

Dr Mahathir said the Johor Crown Prince could be changed, but the prime minister is decided by the people.

"He's not a big man, just a small one. If he wants to change the prime minister, he is welcome to vote," Dr Mahathir said at a press conference with Malaysian media at the end of his five-day working visit here.
