As a former prime minister, Dr Mahathir Mohamad should have attracted at least 100,000 rally-goers.

Tourism and Culture Minister Nazri Abdul Aziz’s said this in response to the anti-Goods and Services Tax (GST) held last Saturday which attracted some 2,000 participants.

Nevertheless, Nazri noted how Mahathir is now the one who encourages people to attend demonstrations, when he did not allow them to take to the streets when he was prime minister.
