KUALA LUMPUR – Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today issued one of his harshest criticisms of Barisan Nasional (BN) yet, as he called on Johoreans to vote out “shameless” leaders in the coming state polls.
The Pejuang chairman, in launching the party’s manifesto ahead of the state polls, said his political entity aspires to return the country back to its right track after being derailed by brazen and unrepentant politicians, naming Datuk Seri Najib Razak among them.
Dr Mahathir went as far as likening these “corrupt” BN members to leaders who would shamelessly go “naked and urinate” in front of the heads of other nations, while saluting the national flag Jalur Gemilang.
“Imagine one day we accept foreign dignitaries like presidents and king, with a line of honour. When we greet them, our leader would go naked, wearing nothing but a kopiah. Why naked? Because there is nothing to be ashamed of.
“Then, midway while inspecting the line of honour, we need to salute our flag, and our leader would just go on pissing. What is there to be ashamed of?” he said in a press conference today.
“This is the culture being brought by Najib, the culture of being shameless. It’s okay to be naked, to urinate in front of other national leaders, or to rob someone.”
Dr Mahathir said it is incumbent that Malaysia returns to its cultural roots of being modest and respecting everyone, something he said his party Pejuang would offer. – The Vibes, February 23, 2022
