Dr M: Corrupt leaders going all racist to save their own skin
KUALA LUMPUR: Desperate people embroiled in corruption are flaring up racial sentiments following the legal action taken against them, said Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
“The easiest way to teach them a lesson is not to vote for their representative in the Tanjung Piai by-election.
“They do not care if their actions lead to civil strife because for them. In the event of a clash, their wrongdoings will be sidelined.
“Don’t give them the opportunity to instigate the people,” Mahathir said via Twitter.
On the upcoming by-election, Mahathir said he believed Pakatan Harapan’s candidate Karmaine Sardini, who is also the head of the Tanjung Piai Bersatu (PPBM) division, is the best candidate to continue the work of the late Dr Md Farid Md Rafik.
“In addition to understanding the wants and needs of the locals, Karmaine will certainly be able to continue the development plans and channel the provisions for this parliamentary constituency which was previously secured by Dr Md Farid,” he said.
In the by-election, Karmaine will go up against Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate Dr Wee Jeck Seng, Gerakan’s Wendy Subramaniam, Parti Barisan Jemaah Islamiah (Berjasa) president Datuk Badhrulhisham Abdul Aziz as well as two independent candidates, Dr Ang Chuan Lock and Faridah Aryani Abd Ghaffar.
Polling will be held tomorrow.
