PETALING JAYA: Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has brushed off claims that the party is linked to former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

At a press conference, Syed Saddiq said these claims were “not true” and that Muda simply wanted to “champion genuine politics”.

“The reality is that Muda celebrates diversity. We want to see decentralisation of power and a truly multiracial and moderate Malaysia,” he said.
