The booing of Kedah Menteri Besar Ahmad Bashah Md Hanipah by state football fans at the Darul Aman Stadium recently, may be because the people are angry over Bashah's role in his unceremonious dismissal, said former Kedah menteri besar Mukhriz Mahathir.

"It may be a spontaneous response from the hijau-kuning (green-yellow) supporters who are unhappy. Maybe about other issues. But some of them are disappointed, sad and even angry over what happened to me. They are dissatisfied with the political drama in the state which led to my dismissal," he told Malaysiakini in an interview.
