COMMENT In the latest saga, it is clear that whoever is responsible for the cancellation of the official invitation to former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad is behaving like a man with a petty heart.

The unwise decision to cancel the invitation has turned the installation of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong into another uncongenial event.

Certainly, no one should treat it like another political party affair. Even if Dr Mahathir is no longer with Umno, it does not make him a fugitive. I do not know who is responsible, but one person stands out like a sore thumb on why he is doing nothing about reversing the cancellation.

Even after the matter was raised by members of the public including Pakatan Harapan secretariat chief Saifuddin Abdullah and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) Youth chief Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is not doing anything to reverse the cancellation.

This is despite the fact that he owed it to Dr Mahathir who personally handpicked Najib after former prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi relinquished his post as prime minister.
