IF ever there is a vote for who is the greatest rabble rouser in Malaysia, perhaps Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad would win the grand prize. A netizen going by the moniker zsm commented on Tik Tok: “Dr Mahatir memang batu api” (Dr Mahathir is truly a rabble rouser).
To be fair to the twice former Malaysian premier, this should not be the way how the citizen of another country treat an elderly statesman nonagenarian; however, with his recent utterances that incensed even a Singaporean, Dr Mahathir received a severe tongue lashing from the Malay youth.
It is good that Dr Mahathir is no longer the prime minister (PM), otherwise, the relationship between Malaysia and Singapore would be severely strained once again.
What a shame!
Indirectly ostracising Dr Mahathir’s unbecoming behaviours despite his age, a TikToker going by the name Mozzy67 asked when the former Langkawi MP would go into ‘permanent’ retirement and stop playing on politics in Singapore for his personal agenda.
Mozzy67, who is probably in his 30s or one-third of Dr Mahathir’s age, spoke up on behalf of the Malay community in Singapore whom Dr Mahathir claimed “had lost their command of their mother tongue”.
Speaking in perfect Malay, Mozzy said that the national anthem in Singapore is in Malay. Referring to the present prime minister, Lee Hsien Loong, Mozzy said “despite being a Chinese, Lee’s Malay is 10 times better than any Malaysian politicians” besides also having a good command of the English language, Mandarin and Tamil.
