PETALING JAYA: Former Klang MP Charles Santiago has accused former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad of “spewing hate speech” which could “potentially be explosive”.
Santiago, of DAP, was commenting on Mahathir’s reported allegation at a press conference yesterday that there were non-Malays who wanted to “change the name and ownership” of Malaysia.
Mahathir also claimed that these people refused to recognise the Malays as the “founders, locals and builders of the country”, Malaysiakini reported.
In a statement today, Santiago accused Mahathir of spinning stories to shore up support for the former Umno president’s “new mates” – Perikatan Nasional – ahead of the state elections.
He also claimed Mahathir was trying hard to remain relevant, but maintained that his accusations were dangerous.
