Former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad is known for making anti-Semitic remarks, which has often courted international rebuke.

But now a portal has compared him to Adolf Hitler, at least in terms of peddling propaganda.

“He (Mahathir) has chosen to use the approach during Hitler’s era, repeating a lie continuously will make it seem like the truth... Mahathir is copying Hitler,” said MyKMU.net.

This is in reference to Joseph Goebbels, the propaganda minister for the Third Reich, who once said, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”

Hence, the portal warned Umno delegates at the general assembly to be prepared.

“Some might say Mahathir has no opportunity to lie, since he has no chance to speak at the general assembly. But don’t forget, he may not have a chance to speak, but his puppets do, not one but two.

“The body may belong to someone else, but the voice that emerges is Mahathir’s voice,” it added.

The portal, which is a staunch defender of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, claimed history has shown that when Mahathir says 10 things, only two “boleh dipakai”(can be used), while the remaining eight “semuanya bohong” (all lies).

Furthermore, it said Umno must remember that all the explanations provided by Najib are supported by ongoing investigations, audits and so forth, which until now have revealed no wrongdoing be it 1MDB or the RM2.6 billion.

“Compared to the past, when there were no investigations even when many things disappeared,” it added.

The portal was responding to Mahathir’s speech at a function in Kuala Lumpur last night where he reiterated his allegations against Najib and demanded his resignation.

Also present was former deputy premier Muhyiddin Yassin.

In a separate article, MyKMU. net claimed there could be some who would attempt to embarrass Najib when he delivers his speech at the Umno assembly.

“There is a group of delegates with questionable moral who have been assigned with the task.

“Who are they? We will know their faces when Najib speaks,” it said in the article titled ‘PAU 2015: Kaki Karaoke, Kaki Dangdut Dipersiap Untuk Boo Najib (Umno AGM: Karoake and Dangdut buffs to boo Najib).”
