PETALING JAYA: Young Malaysians may be wondering what “Mageran” is after it was mentioned yesterday by former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

The word is an acronym for Majlis Gerakan Negara, translated as National Operations Council.
Mahathir said he proposed, during his royal audience at Istana Negara yesterday, that Mageran take over the administration of the country from Perikatan Nasional. He also said he offered to lead the council.
