Much better Indo--Malay relations moving to a sound foundation now that Mahathir and his son have finally been booted out of the political party he was leading down a blind alley .
I suppose next maybe Malaysia's highest honour for Modi and a full State visit ?

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad was expelled on Thursday from the party he co-founded in 2016, as an alliance that in 2018 pulled off the only change of government in Malaysia’s history continued to implode amid bitter political battles.
The 94-year-old ex-leader was stripped of his membership in the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (Bersatu) along with his son Mukhriz – who is the former chief minister of Kedah state – and three other senior party leaders, according to official termination letters dated May 28 and seen by BenarNews.
The party’s president and other co-founder, Muhyiddin Yassin, took over as Malaysia’s unelected prime minister in early March after Mahathir resigned as PM and his government collapsed, when Muhyiddin and other MPs quit Mahathir’s Pakatan Harapan alliance to form a new government with other parties.
“
e informed that under clauses 10.2.2 and 10.2.3 of the Bersatu Party Constitution, your membership in the party is automatically dissolved,” according to each of the five letters signed by Muhammad Suhaimi Yahya, the party’s working secretary who was sacked from his party post later on Thursday.
The two clauses state that party members automatically lose their membership if they declare they are leaving the party, or if they have joined or become members of other political parties.
The other three officials who were expelled alongside Mahathir and his son were Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, Maszlee Malik and Amiruddin Hamzah, a political leader from Kedah.

KUALA LUMPUR - Former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad has been removed from Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia, the party he co-founded in 2016, along with four other lawmakers who have refused to support the government led by Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
Mr Muhyiddin also helped found Bersatu and is currently the party's president.
The Straits Times saw letters dated Thursday (May 28) to the five members, including Tun Dr Mahathir's son Mukhriz, who was ousted as Kedah chief minister earlier this month.
