LETTER| The Malay Dignity Congress and refusal to extradite Zakir Naik are enough for Malaysians to reject their brand of politics.
| There are many factors that resulted in Pakatan Harapan’s defeat in the Tanjung Piai–by-election and among them would be the continued inability of Bersatu as a party that appeals to almost any voter, including Malays.
No one in Harapan would have expected the crushing 15,000 loss in Tanjung Piai – it even took Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad over 25 hours to issue a public statement.He not only refused to directly address the failures of his party, but he chose to “share” it with his coalition–blaming them for not supporting Bersatu in their time of need.
While many were disappointed that their leaders insisted on lecturing voters in believing that they would fulfill the Harapan manifesto–they have crossed the line. They even allowed Zakir Naik to enter Malaysian politics, and permitted him to insult Chinese and Indian Malaysians as “Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq showed his"sincerity" as a “reformist” during this time, as he called for the deportation of Zakir Naik to gain credibility before inviting him for dinner and asking Malaysians to move on the very next day.
He says this as he evicts Orang Asli from their ancestral lands, rewards 400ha of forest land without open tender to a RM2 company while criticising the public in their lack of inaction in tackling illegal logging in the state. Given the results of last weekend’s by-election, one can see that their faith in Mahathir was not rewarded.
