Racial rhetoric the acknowledgment of dismal failure of Tun M

[superadmin]

What now for Dr M?

Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad must be one of Malaysia’s most prolific political party defectors or “political frogs”.

In 2016, he quit Umno because he said that under the leadership of then prime minister Najib Razak, the party appeared to be supporting corruption.

In 2020, he was removed from Bersatu which he co-founded with Muhyiddin Yassin in 2016.

In February this year, he and 12 other members quit Pejuang, which he founded two years ago.

He has since joined Parti Bumiputera Perkasa Malaysia (Putra) and, for good measure, has offered to be its adviser, if needed.

Mahathir said joining Putra was in line with his political struggles, which he defined as “uniting the people, the party and the Malay organisation”.
