Dr M: Nazri should quit Umno since party is a racist party

(Malaysian Mirror) – Former prime minister, Dr Mahathir Mohamad has called on Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Nazri Aziz to quit the party for calling him a racist over the Biro Tata Negara (BTN) issue.

Nazri had yesterday called Mahathir a racist for supporting and defending the BTN programme which has been slated for a revamp after severe criticism for not keeping with 1Malaysia spirit.

Mahathir had said yesterday that there was no need to revamp BTN’s training modules in the current form and that it was suitable for instilling the patriotic spirit among Malaysians.

‘Umno is also racist’

Opening a seminar on the Malaysia-Indonesian economies here today, Mahathir said that if Nazri had described him as racist then Nazri himself should  quit because then it would mean that Umno is a racist party.

He said that since Nazri belongs to a racist party, the minister must then resign from the party deemed to be racist.

“Nazri says I am a racist. Umno is a racist party, it caters to the Malays. If he feel that he does not belong to the racist party he should resign from the party.”
