Two prominent opposition leaders are again in the crosshairs of the acerbic Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
KAMPUNG GAJAH (Perak): Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today that PKR adviser Anwar Ibrahim and PAS spiritual leader Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat are traitors to the Malays because they are willing to split the community for politics.
He said that Anwar was prepared to cause rifts among the Malays to get support to become prime minister while Nik Aziz regarded people who strived for their community as non-Muslims.
“I don’t know from which hadith (sayings and examples of Prophet Muhammad) or part of the Quran that Nik Aziz got this,” the former prime minister said at a gathering organised by the Perak Malay non-governmental organisation Pekasa.
According to Nik Aziz, said Mahathir, a Malay was not a Muslim unless he was a member of PAS.
“Is this the statement of a sane person?” Mahathir asked.
He added that the Kelantan menteri besar had even said that he was sad that he was born a Malay just to get the sympathy and support of the other communities.
