PETALING JAYA: The country’s democracy and quality of leadership is deteriorating with more MPs acting based on personal interests instead of values and principles, said Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan.

Declaring that the country belongs to all Malaysians and not to any individual or parties, he urged all Malaysians to stand up and collectively do everything within their means to “rectify” the situation and bring about a progressive democracy.

Mohamad, or Tok Mat as he is often called, said freedom of speech and expression in Malaysia was “diminishing” with the various emergency ordinances in place.

He added that recent events involving the suspension of Parliament and the disabling of the constitution pointed towards a “worrying decline in democracy”.
