SHAH ALAM: Dr. Mahathir Mohamad criticized the leaders of Perikatan Nasional for claiming that the current administration is a Malay-Muslim government, saying that its survival depends on the support of non-Muslim parliamentarians.
The former prime minister said the ruling coalition was indeed in an unstable position as, without the support of non-Muslim MPs, the government led by Muhyiddin Yassin would collapse.
“If the Chinese and Indian leaders decide not to support it (PN), the government will fall. Because of these two or three non-Muslim leaders, the Malay-Muslim government may collapse, ”he said.
On the other hand, Mahathir said, Pejuang, the party he founded, had never claimed to want to form a Malay-Muslim government and was willing to work with other parties.
“But of course we will defend the interest of the Malays, as it is the cornerstone of the country.”
When asked if Pejuang was prepared to work with the likes of DAP and PKR, Mahathir said that his party would become an “alternative movement” that would not be linked to any other party.
“We want to see first what this alliance (of DAP and PKR) and their stand are doing. If it is in line with our goals, we will consider it. But right now, we are not interested. “
Mahathir also said that Pejuang had a “Plan B” if the Registrar of Companies decided to reject his application as it had previously done to PPBM – the party he also founded after leaving Umno – and Pakatan Harapan, in the run-up to the last elections. general. .
“However, we cannot reveal it. But trust us, we know what we’re doing. “
