Muhyiddin Slams Azmin For Describing Tun Mahathir As 'Fallen Leader'

KOTA KINABALU, Oct 4 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said it was improper for Mohamed Azmin Ali, the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) vice-presidential candidate, to describe Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as a 'fallen leader'(pemimpin tersungkur).
"This should not be the case. In politics, we must have moral values and as human beings we must also have mutual respect.
"Tun Mahathir is a reputable statesman who has contributed much to the country," he said to reporters when asked to comment on the statement by Mohamed Azmin today, describing Tun Dr Mahathir, who is undergoing treatment in Melbourne, Australia for lung infection, as 'a fallen leader'.
Azmin made the sarcastic remark in his speech at the opening of the annual general meeting for the PKR Gombak division on Sunday.
The PKR leader was also quoted as saying that the remark was prompted by Dr Mahathir's collaboration with the Malay right-wing group, Pertubuhan Pribumi Perkasa Malaysia (Perkasa), which was alleged to be championing a narrow racial agenda.
Muhyiddin said Azmin should be guided by humanitarian sentiments.
"When Tun Mahathir is unwell and is admitted to hospital, all Malaysians are praying for his speedy recovery and his return home to serve the country in his capacity as a former prime minister.
"So the statement was uncalled for because we have mutual respect for each other. (I) don't know if this is the style of leadership in the PKR," he added.

tunku : this is what you call "kurang ajar".i pity his parents to have such a kurang ajar child.all these while he has been supporting the sodomizer.he even gave his wife(tersungkur) to his boss.ezam realized of anwar's sodomize activities and left him but this guy still loyal to the one who had his wife. anwar till today never say anything to these people,ezam and azmin as both of them knows the devil in anwar. we never heard anwar insulting ezam. coming back to azmin, use your brain to fight with zaid and khalid , don't use cheap and low morale tactics to win the heart of non malays who are comfortable with zaid and khalid ibrahim by condemning tun's associate with perkasa.
