My theorem

There are several reactions to Mahathirs' action in quitting from UMNO. This is what I think, this is my theory:

Mahathir is a smart lad. He plays no significant role in UMNO so he can quit but upon doing so he is diverting the attention to his son Mukhriz (which is a good plan). In a way, his son kind of gets a what is referred to as a 'free publicity stint'. The rest are yet to be interpreted by me. lol

Maybe? or maybe not?
