PETALING JAYA: It is time to do away with old politics that divide Malaysians over their race or religion, Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has told Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

This comes after Malaysiakini quoted the former prime minister as claiming certain non-Malays wanted to change Malaysia’s “name and ownership”.

In a Twitter thread, Syed Saddiq said Malaysians of all races and religions loved their home country equally and wanted the nation to become developed and governed well.

“I know absolutely no non-Malays today who wants to change our country’s name. I know many who call Malaysia their one and only home.

“Dear Tun (Mahathir), the old politics of division must stop,” said Syed Saddiq, who was youth and sports minister under the Mahathir-led Pakatan Harapan government.
