KUALA LUMPUR: Jelebu Umno division chief Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim lashed out at those who criticised former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad for making statements regarding Umno.“There are many who are blasting Tun Dr Mahathir for making statements about Umno. This should not be an issue,” said Rais, who is Foreign Minister.
“He has the locus standi (standing) to make any statement on Umno. He led the party for 23 years.
“If they want to say something to him, look at him straight in the eye and tell him. Dr Mahathir has every right to say what he wants about Umno,” he told reporters when met at the Foreign Ministry’s friends of Malaysia cultural exchange programme here on Monday.
Over the last month there had been calls by certain Umno leaders, including Umno president and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, blaming Dr Mahathir for a divided Umno.
The former prime minister earlier this year quit the party, which he once led, saying that he would only return once Abdullah vacates the party and government posts.
tunku : those who critics Tun Mahathir has no guts to say to him by looking at him.pak lah and company can listen to opposition's craps but not from tun mahathir.the man had lead umno for 23 years, he has all the right to comment on anything.

kita semua kena hormatkan Abdullah dan Mahathir.mereka dua adalah pemimpin negara kita.no question about.
tapi saya rasa Pak Lah hanya mahu cuba "defend" diri dia dari terus diserang oleh Tun kerana selama ini Pak Lah hanya berdiam diri shaja.kena faham bahawa Pak Lah dan Tun kedua-duanya mahu orang-orang mereka terbela.Pak Lah semestinya kalau boleh mahu kekal untuk berada ditempatnya sekarang dan Mahathir mula semestinya mahu Pak Lah berundur kerana mahu orangnya pulak naik.
tapi Mahathir pun satu.nampak sangat beliau lantang bersuara terhadap Pak Lah seolah-olah yang Pak Lah lakukan semuanya tidak betul dan harus dengar nasihat Mahathir.Mahathir pada eranya dulu pembangkang dan media tidaklah diberi kebebasan yang ada seperti sekarang.
Salam... Dalam keadaan, ramai yang menghentam Mahathir kerana mencampuri urusan UMNO, ada juga ahli Majlis Tertinggi UMNO mempertahankan Mahathir...Rais Yatim harus faham bahawa tindakan Mahathir memberi nasihat kepada Najib adalah satu tindak yang boleh dikatakan kurang sopan kerana memberi nasihat dengan membelakangkan Pak Lah selaku Presiden UMNO. Mahathir juga tidak boleh sesuka hati mencampuri urusan UMNO sekarang kerana beliau tiada apa-apa di dalam UMNO. Lagipun pada zaman Mahathir, beliau tidak boleh ditegur oleh sesiapa pun.. Ego Mahathir masih kuat...
