Mahathir destroyed monarchy, why bother to attend new King’s installation
(Malaysia Outlook) – Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamed’s cry foul for unable to attend the new King’s installation next week is something absurd as the former is the one should be blamed for destroying and taught Malaysians to hate the monarchy said political commentator Raja Sara Petra.
According to Raja Sara, Mahathir claimed the rulers sold the country and betrayed the Malays in 1946 by agreeing to the British plan for the Malayan Union.
Mahathir said it was Umno that saved the country and the Malays from the evil British and if not because of Umno even the Rulers would have lost their powers, highlights Raja Sara via a statement.
“For 40 years from 1968 until 2008 Mahathir kept saying the same thing.
“When he was Prime Minister, Mahathir said all sorts of nasty things about the Rulers. Until today many Malaysians still say nasty things about the Rulers.
“So why would Mahathir want to attend a function that represents feudalism when Mahathir said the reason the Malays are backward compared to the Chinese is due to feudalism.
“The Monarchy stands for everything that Mahathir opposes and used to condemn.” Raja Sara said.
