Mahathir Just Stating A Fact, Says Muhyiddin

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 13 (Bernama) -- Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was just stating a a fact when he remarked yesterday that the non-Malays could also become Prime Minister, Umno vice president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yasin said, Thursday.
He said it could also serve as a reminder to the Malays that they would be able to continue to lead the country if they stay strong and united.
"What the Tun has mentioned should not create unnecessary polemic. It was just a caution statement.
"I'm not saying whether I agree or disagree. I'm just saying it is just a matter of fact," he said.
Dr Mahathir's statement was based on facts as the constitution did not spell out that the prime minister must come from a particular race, he told reporters after the opening of the Kuala Lumpur International Trade Forum here.
Asked whether he had no problems having a non-Malay prime minister, Muhyiddin said it would all depend on how the people feel about it and the country's political scenario in many years to come.
On Dr Mahathir's statement that people involved in money politics should be detained under the Internal Security Act, he said: "The Tun said it in jest".
"It could also mean he was disappointed with what is happening in Umno in terms of the campaigns conducted and the practice of using money," he said.
He added: "I don't want to talk much about it because it is embarrassing to reveal the weakness of my party to the extent the media having a heyday reporting bad things about my party."

tunku : at least there are still wise man in umno who could understand.what tun said is right, anyone can be the pm as long as he/she is backed by the majority. in malaysia the malays are the majority , so that answers everything.like what singapore's pm said that in singapore there will only be chinese pm because chinese is the majority group there. so is malaysia with malay the majority group.even muhyiddin admitting there is money politics in umno, why nazri is not after him? selective attack i guess.

Kenyataan Tun lebih kepada:
- Malaysia lebih terbuka dari Singapura dalam menentukan siapakah yang layak sebagai PM Malaysia.
- Kenyataan sinis ini sekaligus menempelak Lee Kuan Yew yang selalu memandang rendah politik Malaysia.
- Membayangkan betapa nazaknya politik UMNO dalam mempertahankan Melayu dan Islam.
- Memberi semangat kepada parti komponen BN untuk terus kuat menyokong UMNO.

Nazri pula yang mengidam jawatan Setiausaha Agung UMNO, sebenarnya sedang praktis berperanan sebagai 'Setiausaha Agung' di hadapan bakal tuan barunya.

Teaku Adnan mungkin tidak sedar perkara ini..

sesiapa boleh menjadi PM di Malaysia?

memang boleh.tapi bukan sekarang.PR selalu saja memperkatakan tentang "Malaysian Malaysia" tetapi sanggupkah kita semua untuk betul-betul berubah kearah itu?

kita ambil satu contoh.sekolah.rasa-rasanya sanggup tak kita semua untuk membubarkan sekolah jenis kebangsaan cina dan tamil dan sekolah agama rakyat dan diwujudkan hanya satu jenis sekolah sahaja diMalaysia.seperti di US,walaupun mereka berbilang bangsa namun sekolah hanya ada satu jenis sahaja.

betul ke kita sanggup berubah demi "Malaysian Malaysia"?
