: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has threatened to sue Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi over the claim that he is not Malay.

“Previously, I did not like to use the courts though many slandered me as I am aware that there will be those who act outside the boundaries and limits in political campaigns.“It is not only because it damaged my reputation, but his deceiving of Malays and Umno supporters for the sake of staying in power is very dangerous,“ Dr Mahathir said in a statement today.

“Yes, I do have Indian blood, which I state in my book, and I do not deny it. But the fact is that my birth certificate and identity card are both Mahathir bin Mohamad. According to the definition of the Malaysian constitution , I am Malay and my struggle is to defend the interests of my race.”
