Najib’s ‘cash is king’ BR1M delusion

People should work to get money says Mahathir, stepping up pressure on Najib.

KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad has yet again criticised Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak for not taking into consideration his suggestion that Najib’s BR1M payout scheme is flawed and should be stopped.

“I have spoken out about this many times but he belabours in the delusion that cash is king,” said Mahathir on the sidelines of a forum on Islam and Vision 2020.

“Getting money without putting in any effort is wrong.

“Giving out cash to buy support is not the right approach.”

The government, he stressed, should be making available opportunities for the people and providing the necessary training.

“We cannot have a situation where the person who is sleeping gets RM140 and the one that’s working gets RM 133,” he said cynically.

“People should work to get money.”
