Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, who is hospitalised in the National Heart Institute, is recovering, his press team said on Tuesday.
Condemning the act, Cedric O France's Secretary for Digital Sector had urged Twitter to suspend the account of the former Malaysian prime minister.
The announcement was entirely due to the decision by the High Court earlier in the day on the application by Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and three others to strike out a suit by Mahathir and four other people.
The crisis ended with Muhyiddin, who founded Bersatu with Mahathir before joining a four-party alliance that won 2018 elections, being nominated as the prime minister.
At the ripe old age of 94 and once the world's oldest leader, Mahathir has raised questions over his legitimacy amidst nationwide protests.
Muhyiddin, 72, had served as Deputy Prime minister under former Prime Minister Najib Razak from 2009 to 2015.
Mahathir said he had a meeting with the PH coalition on in the early hours of the day and was now confident that he has the numbers needed to garner majority support in the Lower House of Parliament.
The King has accepted Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad’s resignation, but has asked him to continue as interim head of government.
Mahathir, the world's oldest head of government, presented his resignation on Monday, later accepted by King Abdullah Pahang, on condition that he continue as Interim Prime Minister until a new government is formed.
Saudi Arabia viewed the summit as efforts by certain Muslim countries to create a new Islamic bloc.
