“In my personal view, Dr Mahathir’s stand was wrong. In fact, a leader of a multiracial party such as PKR, is suitable to become Malaysia’s prime minister as the country itself is a multiracial society,” Hassan said in a statement today. The 69-year-old social activist and former Johor PKR chief said that PKR also respects Malaysia’s system of a constitutional monarchy and upholds the spirit of the Federal Constitution.
“Dr Mahathir is wrong as those who are not qualified to become the prime minister are those leaders from political parties that support a racial discrimination policy, reject a democratic and united country, and practices polices that are disunite the races and faith just to continue to be in power,” said Hassan.
