But is Najib to be blamed? Or the social media so-called 'pemakan dedak'? As far as I know, Dr Mahathir and the opposition also give 'dedak' to some social media players, ghostwriters and few from the mainstream media too.
Its fair, right? You hit me, I hit back at you.
Former mentor-turned critic Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is someone who is “obsessed about control,” Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said.
“I spoke in an interview recently in Jakarta, saying that I have only two options. Either be a prime minister that has to refer to him when making big decisions for his approval, or be a prime minister based on the needs of the people and the party.
“If I choose the second option, sooner or later, he will attack me. Just like how he attacked Pak Lah (former Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi),” news portal The Star Online quoted Najib as saying.
Najib reportedly said this before opening the Tasek Gelugor Umno division delegates meeting on Monday.
Najib added that when Tun Abdullah did not listen to Dr Mahathir in the past, the ex-PM attacked him.
The same thing happened to him when he refused to refer to Dr Mahathir when making important decisions, the Pekan MP added.
Dr Mahathir, the country’s longest-serving prime minister, held the post for 22 years from 1981 to 2003. He was also the Umno president during that time.
All of Malaysia’s prime ministers have come from the Malay nationalist party.
Najib has faced criticism from civil society and opposition politicians over several actions he’s taken, including the creation of the National Security Council Act 2016 that grants the government sweeping emergency powers.
NOTE: Looking at it, I feel sad that the Malays are now breaking into so many factions, so many parties. Others are keeping an eye on us, laughing and enjoying the whole drama. What will be left if the Malays lose their political power in the next general elections? They will say - pergi mampus lah sama Melayu!
