Sad Mahathir says Langkawi constituents failed him

[superadmin]

FORMER Malaysian prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad reportedly still holds bitterness over losing his election deposit in the Langkawi constituency during the last general election.

Mahathir was left with feelings of frustration and sorrow after being defeated by voters in the 15th General Election (GE15) last November.

He expressed his discouragement following his unsuccessful attempt to retain the Langkawi parliamentary seat he won during GE15, which resulted in the forfeiture of his election deposit.

Mahathir was outspoken in his belief that the voters in Langkawi disregarded his past efforts as prime minister during the 1980s and 1990s, during which he developed the island.
