Dr Mahathir’s grand Malay umbrella bid ‘desperate and provocative’

A PROPOSAL by former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to unite all Malay-based parties under a single ‘umbrella’ has been dismissed as “desperate and provocative” by Sungai Petani MP Dr Mohammed Taufiq Johari.

Taufiq, who is also Vice Chief of the national youth wing of the ruling Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), criticised the initiative as a thinly veiled attempt to revive old racial narratives in the absence of substantive policy ideas from the opposition.

“Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man must know that Dr M’s proposal for all Malay-based parties to come under a single, broad group is a desperate and provocative move,” he said in a Facebook post on Friday, referring to the PAS deputy president who had expressed support for Mahathir’s call.
