Najib: Dr M can't fight PPBM because of his own past

Umno's former president says Mahathir cannot challenge PPBM because of a law amended by Mahathir in an Umno power struggle in 1988. FMTNews Mahathir PPBM UMNO Mahathir NajibRazak

Dr Mahathir Mohamad in the PPBM chairman’s office on Friday. He insists he is still party chairman.

Najib, a former Umno president, said Mahathir had caused Section 18c of the Societies Act 1966 to be amended, allowing him to form Umno after Umno had been ordered to be deregistered.Umno was declared illegal after the result of the party elections in 1987, when Mahathir’s presidency was challenged by his rival Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.

Mahathir’s excuse was a lie, he said. “The seventh PM cannot challenge the decision at court due to the past actions of the fourth PM . That is correct,” he said in a Facebook post referring to Mahathir’s two separate tenures as prime minister. The other four were Mahathir’s son Mukhriz, Amiruddin Hamzah, Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman and Maszlee Malik.
