analysis Is Pak Lah the third prime minister to be brought down by Dr Mahathir Mohamad?

Not only did Mahathir send off three of his four deputies - Musa Hitam, Ghafar Baba and Anwar Ibrahim - in his half-a-century political career, he has contributed to the downfall of two of the three Malaysian prime ministers - Tunku Abdul Rahman and Hussein Onn.
