JOHOR BAHRU, Sept 5: Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) president Dato Sri Tiong King Sing has urged former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to stop confusing the people, especially over 3R (race, religion, and royalty) issues.
According to a Bernama news report, the Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister urged leaders to emulate another former prime minister, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who has stayed out of politics since stepping down.
“I would like to ask Dr Mahathir to learn from Abdullah, who has chosen to keep quiet after stepping down. Until today, he has not made any noise.
“Instead, he is praying for our country. Why can’t Dr Mahathir stay quiet?” he was quoted as saying during a programme with the Chinese community at Taman Bukit Indah in Johor Bahru last night (Sept 4).
The Bintulu MP and Dudong assemblyman also urged Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who is also another former prime minister and the chairman of Perikatan Nasional (PN), to not resort to religious rhetoric, which can lead to misunderstandings.
On Sept 2, Muhyiddin allegedly said it was ‘haram’ (sinful) to vote for Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate for the Pulai parliamentary by-election, Suhaizan Kaiat, during a ‘ceramah’. — DayakDaily
