An opposition MP today hit out at a federal minister for claiming that Malaysia faces the threat of foreign colonisation, saying that it is the BN government that has colonised and brainwashed Malaysians for 60 years.

Amanah Kuala Terengganu MP Raja Kamarul Bahrin Shah Raja Ahmad said that it was the BN government that has dominated and monopolised all mainstream media since Merdeka, from TV1 to TV3, RTM and Utusan Malaysia, as well as the NST group.

"The 60 years were fully utilised to brainwash and shape the thoughts of the people to make them believe that only Umno-BN can rule, or else peace will be lost and riots will be common place. This is organised mind control," he said.
