GOMBAK, Nov 9 — Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari has today blamed the fall of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government due to a certain “grandpa”, rather than the coalition chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Pointing to then-prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Amirudin became the latest PH leader to distance the pact from the nonagenarian that led it to victory in 2018 following voters’ backlash for its perceived failure.
“Our prime minister was that grandfather. The grandfather was forgetful,” he said during a dinner with the Chinese community leaders in Sri Gombak here.
“The grandfather made a lot of mistakes and resigned,” he added, referring to Dr Mahathir’s resignation after he lost command of the majority of the Dewan Rakyat in 2020.
