JOHOR BAHRU, March 6 – The Prime Minister and UMNO president Datuk Seri Najib Razak told a press conference today said UMNO views Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s decision to work with the Opposition as a very big mistake.
“The action of both the former senior leaders of UMNO had also incurred the wrath and disappointment of UMNO leaders and members. I see most of the UMNO leaders, they are very angry and disappointed with Tun Dr Mahathir’s decision to work with the Opposition,” Najib said.
“In fact, excerpts of Tun Dr Mahathir’s speeches have gone viral, also condemnation of Lim Kit Siang as a racist leader and a DAP chauvinist. Tan Sri Muhyiddin and Tun Dr Mahathir have previously condemned and criticised Kit Siang and DAP outright. Which is why UMNO leaders cannot accept (this),” he told reporters here today.
Najib said Tun Dr Mahathir and Muhyiddin know what DAP’s stand is all this while, so what they did is a very big mistake. He said this in commenting on the action of the two leaders in joining forces with the Opposition at a ceremony to come out with the Citizens’ Declaration in the federal capital on last Friday.
