Politicians have turned themselves into commodities: Tok Mat

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – The attitude of politicians who turn themselves into “commodities” has put the country in a very awkward and unprecedented political situation, said Umno deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.

He said that these politicians were also no longer loyal to the party and their voters.

“They trade themselves as if they are political commodities”, so this is the situation we are facing now.

“The most unfortunate thing is that Malaysia’s political morale is weakened in terms of values and principles,” he said during the Terus Terang Bersama Tok Mat talk show programme broadcast online on Umno’s Facebook page last night.

He said this when commenting on the country’s political crisis of late, which has resulted in Malaysia having three prime ministers in three years.

Mohamad said political parties opening the door for party-hopping politicians had made the situation worse and, in fact, these “traitors” were being hailed by some.
