"I did not say he (Najib) must step down, I just do not agree with a number of his policies. It is a reminder and nothing personal. Nobody dares to criticise him, so I am doing it," he told reporters after launching the Institute of Excellence For Islamic Jerusalem Studies, here today.
The former Prime Minister in his blog posting today said he had criticised Najib's administration because leaders who are not criticised would tend to believe they are doing the right thing.
He added that only when they are criticised, leaders would realise their mistakes and quickly rectify such mistakes.
Dr Mahathir said he had decided to post his criticism and comments on the blog because his criticism in the past had fallen on deaf ears.
Meanwhile, he said the setting up of the IEIJS would enlighten the understanding and academic facts of what was happening in Palestine, to the Muslim world.
"There are not many factual studies about Jerusalem by Muslim scholars. With the establishment of this institute, I hope there would be a better understanding of whatever happened there," he said.

TDM comment is indeed asking Najib to resign due to his failure to protect the interests of Malays and the Sultans.
We as Malaysians and Malays are particularly fed-up with Najib. We also fed-up with Pas which does not protect Islam which it claims to protect.
We do not want Anwar to be the PM. What we want is Anwar to be a permanent resident of Sungai Buloh Jail. He has shown his characters particularly in the Selangor MB issue.
But do we have a choice?
