This is a huge moment in Malaysian politics__ Prof James Chin on Mahathir's Lan

Political analyst James Chin said of Dr Mahathir Mohamad's loss of his MP seat in Langkawi: "This is a huge, huge moment in Malaysian politics," he says. "I think Malaysians in general knew that his time was coming, but I don't think anybody expected him to lose his deposit," he told CNA's Loke Wei Sue.

Dr Johan Saravanamuttu said people might remember that Dr Mahathir was "responsible indirectly" for the Sheraton Move in 2020 which saw the fall of the ruling Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition government.
