The last days of Mahathir
Notes:

1.  In cohort with the opposition to topple Najib from office (4/3/16 declaration)

2.  Starting 2014, launched a conspiracy to topple Najib 
    ( Early in April last year, the former premier kicked off a three-month long campaign against Najib, who he claimed was racked by corruption scandals that were hurting the country and UMNO. But the campaign stretched well beyond the month of July and turned into a multi-million dollar lesson for Mahathir the minute a coup plot was uncovered.)

3. Dr. Mahathir's control over Petronas as advisor ended with the Cabinet decision to terminate his appointment as advisor to Petronas.  The reason is stated below :- 

PRIME MINISTER’S OFFICE STATEMENT: 
TUN MAHATHIR’S TERMINATION FROM PETRONAS
 
11th March 2016
The Cabinet today discussed the actions of former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, particularly in launching the so-called "Citizen’s Declaration" with opposition leaders last week.
 
The declaration aims to topple the democratically-elected Government led by the Prime Minister, and is therefore against the law and the Federal Constitution.
 
The Cabinet decided that since Tun Mahathir is no longer supporting the current Government, he should no longer hold any position related to the Government.
 
Therefore, the Cabinet today agreed unanimously to terminate the appointment of Tun Mahathir as advisor to Petronas.
