PETALING JAYA: Former Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad says he is “disgusted” that his comments in response to the call to boycott French products have been misrepresented and taken out of context.
In a statement, Mahathir, who has come under heavy criticism from social media users around the world as well as diplomats in Malaysia, said his critics only highlighted part of his statement to imply that he was promoting the massacre of the French.
He was referring to a part of a paragraph in his blog post that said: “Muslims have the right to be angry and to kill millions of French people for the massacres of the past.”
“Due to the twist and out of context presentation by those who picked up my post, reports were made against me and I am accused of promoting violence,” Mahathir said today.
