LETTER | Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad recently expressed concerns about the division among the Malays. According to him, the unity of the Malay community weakened under the leadership of his successors.
During his 22-year tenure, the Malays largely supported Umno. However, after his resignation in 2003, when he handed over power to Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Umno faced challenges and lost control of five states in the 2008 general election.
99 years old Fox still play politics...
Yet it is important to recognise that the root of these issues lies with Mahathir himself. Mahathir rose to power under favourable conditions.
