Last month I penned Mahathir riding on a Rocket? in which I quoted a Malaysian Outlook article which suggested (extracts):
Pengerusi Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM), Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad dan anaknya, Datuk Seri Mukhriz didakwa bakal bertanding atas tiket DAP dalam Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-14 (PRU-14).

Pengerusi Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM), Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad dan anaknya, Datuk Seri Mukhriz didakwa bakal bertanding atas tiket DAP dalam Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-14 (PRU-14).
I thought that was that but to day I read in FMT:
... Nazri laughed off reports that PPBM chairman Dr Mahathir Mohamad was willing to stand in GE14 under a DAP ticket.
When asked about such a scenario, he just carried on laughing, before pausing for a moment to say: “That’s my comment.”
Previously, Nazri had invited Mahathir to contest against him in Padang Rengas.

Much as Nazri might have laughed off the seemingly ludicrous suggestion there might be some grounds in that rumour because a Pribumi source, apparently worried, told NST that the party would use any logo except DAP’s.

Uranus for you Tun? |
The article quoted the source as saying in the event the party is deregistered before the general election, Pribumi candidates will use the logo of any Pakatan ally except that of DAP.
Pribumi leaders were concerned about the feelings of the pro-Pribumi supporters if its candidates were to use the DAP logo.

'ni ta'boleh - ada anjing lah |
Thus they will opt for the safer choice, namely, either PKR or Amanah’s logo.
The source was quoted as saying “Many (at the grassroots level) will not agree and will be against Pribumi candidates contesting under a DAP ticket."
I suspect the source must have come out with this party revelation to preempt any possibility of that rumour about Mahathir and his son flying in a Rocket coming true, wakakaka.
