I criticise Najib because he is ex-PM, says Dr M

Dr Mahathir Mohamad says Najib Razak had used DAP as the ‘bogeyman’ to weaken the PH coalition.

KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad today defended his right to criticise Najib Razak, saying the latter is the cause of the fall of the Pakatan Harapan government. He said he named Najib when explaining his resignation as the seventh prime minister in the Dewan Rakyat because he was the previous premier.

“If he is not a former prime minister, I do not have a problem. That is why I have the right to mention his name,” he said when Ahmad Tarmizi Sulaiman stood up and asked him not to mention specific names in Parliament with the intention of criticising the person. Earlier, Mahathir said he was disappointed because his previous party, PPBM, which was formed to bring down the Barisan Nasional government, led by Najib, had believed that DAP would destroy the Malays.But such sentiment worked, he said, and PPBM members decided to exit PH. “Because of that, I resigned as the prime minister.”Fake or not?
