Musa Hitam blames 'AIDS' for rift with Mahathir

It is often claimed that Musa Hitam resigned as deputy prime minister in 1986 due to irreconcilable differences with his then boss, Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

However, the decision to quit, was not something that built up over time, but happened rather suddenly when Mahathir accused Musa of trying to topple him.

This false accusation, Musa believes, was spread by a trio, who were known as "AIDS" - which is short for Anwar Ibrahim, Daim Zainuddin, and Sanusi Junid.
