COMMENT Most of us would agree that Dr Mahathir Mohamad would be one despicable old man if he chose to ignore carrying out some serious institutional reforms after Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has been removed.

Whether inked or otherwise, the people’s aspirations are clearly spelt out - we want both institutional reforms, which has to first begin with the removal of a scandal-plagued prime minister.

If things remain status quo after Dr Mahathir has achieved his own objectives, the nonagenarian, who turns 91 this July, would probably go down in history as a sly fox who can never be trusted.
