PUTRAJAYA - Malaysia's Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad on Monday called Johor's crown prince"a little boy" and"stupid", harsh words that is likely to escalate the row between the elderly statesman and the Johor royal family.
Speaking in a media interview in Putrajaya, Dr Mahathir, 93, said Tunku Ismail, 34, should stop commenting on matters beyond his knowledge, Malaysiakini reported Dr Mahathir as saying. "But this TMJ is a little boy… He is stupid because he doesn't know what is happening. So don't talk. When you don't know anything, don't talk," the premier said.
The debate also goes to the heart of the pitched battle between PH and the opposition parties for the support of the Malay majority, who made up 60 per cent of the country's 32 million population.
Why then wld he want to get involve in a spat with a 'little boy'?
We have to respect DR M for his age. His seniority goes beyond doubt. But that does not mean he has the complete vision for the future of Malaysia. Anyway criticising the royal blood openly is not a good idea.
It would be interesting to get 'little boys ' to a debate : Topic The future path Malaysia should take. The 'little boys ' could be the future Malaysia leaders. There are : TMJ, UMNO Khairy Jamaluddin, PPBM Syed Saddiq. 👏👏👏
Who sent this little fat boy? chedetofficial konotaromp Of course, Najib and tim_cook 's suppliers.
Well said!!
