Dr M’s Malay struggle sways with his needs, says Ku Li
PETALING JAYA: Veteran politician Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah has sounded a reminder that Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s struggles for the Malays have swayed according to political necessity.
He acknowledged that Mahathir cares for the Malays and often brings up the issue in their meetings, but there are times his actions are not in line with his rhetoric.
“He always speaks about the Malays, all the time, but there are times he takes a turn, when there is political necessity or suitability,” Razaleigh told FMT on Saturday at the Umno general assembly, when asked to comment on Mahathir’s Malay Proclamation.
Mahathir’s initiative to unite Malay politicians across all parties has received support from a few opposition leaders including PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang who was once the target of Mahathir’s criticisms.
