KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 2): Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mahamad
confirmed today that he had stepped down as Petronas adviser effective
yesterday.
Dr Mahathir said he had handed in his resignation letter to Prime Minister
Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak recently.
Citing age as his reason to resign, Dr Mahathir said it was time for him to leave
the national oil corporation to concentrate on his health.
"I have been with Petronas for 10 years, I feel that Petronas has performed well
and made huge profit.
"I hope Petronas will continue to play its role in nurturing young entrepreneurs,"
he told reporters after hosting a luncheon for Umno
International Forum 2013 participants here today.
Dr Mahathir Mohamad was discharged from the National Heart Institute on Nov
25 after being admitted on Nov 16 for a chest infection.
Asked whether he will also resign as Proton Holdings Bhd adviser, Dr Mahathir
said he was not thinking about it yet.
