Harapan chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad today said that he disagreed with the views of tycoon Robert Kuok on the issue of affirmative action in Malaysia.

“That is his opinion,” Mahathir told a press conference in Kuantan when asked for comments on Kuok’s views that affirmative action put in place after the 1969 race riots had slowed Malaysia’s progress as a nation.
