Dr M unsuitable for PM's post due 'political baggage' - PAS

The “political baggage” which Dr Mahathir Mohamad carries after serving 22 years as prime minister renders him unsuitable to hold the post again, says PAS vice-president Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah.

He claimed most of the current problems in the government were inherited from the previous administration under Mahathir.

"A major issue for us, the opposition, is Mahathir’s political baggage. This political baggage is the main factor Mahathir is not suitable to be prime minister (again),” he said.

Mohd Amar, who is also Kelantan Deputy Menteri Besar, was speaking to reporters outside the Kelantan State Assembly sitting in Kompleks Kota Darul Naim today.

He was commenting on Pakatan Harapan’s decision to stand by their nomination of Dr Mahathir as prime minister, despite his age at 93.

Mohd Amar said Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak had to bear the mistakes made by Dr Mahathir after he took over the post. - Bernama
