KUALA LUMPUR -- Demonstrations can never topple a democratically elected government, said  Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. He said that although the Pakatan Harapan government allowed street demonstrations, it was only through elections that the government could be changed. "If elections are set aside, instead we follow what the demonstrators want, democracy will not surface.

"TH welcomes the government’s decision to put TH under the supervision of Bank Negara Malaysia as the central bank has a very robust risk management and liquidity framework, which institutions under its supervision must comply and therefore enhance confiden...
