PETALING JAYA: Dr Maszlee Malik has refuted accusations that he attempted to reopen the King Salman Centre for International Peace (KSCIP), and this was the last straw for Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who moved to dismiss him as Education Minister.

"There never was any discussion on the King Salman Centre for International Peace when I was the Education Minister."Everyone can check with the people in the Education Ministry. All my work is in the reports and is recorded," he said on his Twitter account on Tuesday .

According to the report, Dr Mahathir was infuriated when he had heard that Maszlee was behind plans to restart the centre. The formation of the centre was purportedly aimed at checking extremism and terrorism but came under criticism from Pakatan Harapan leaders who questioned Saudi Arabia's credentials due to its doctrine of Wahhabism.

Maszlee said he no longer held any post, was no longer a minister and was now just an ordinary citizen.
