Dr Mahathir Mohamad today acknowledged that there were some who did not believe that Pakatan Harapan could bring about change but the ex-premier warned that the alternative would be worse.

"There are those who are of the opinion that Pakatan Harapan can't do anything to restore the situation.

"But the country's destruction will worsen if Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is able to maintain his kleptocracy," he said in a blog posting tonight.

Mahathir claimed that the country's debt will continue to mount and land would be sold.

"It is not easy for Harapan to restore the country' position but when we are in power, Najib will no longer be able to damage the country.

"We have the skills to save and restore the country's economy, finances and socio-politics," he said.

Mahathir, who was Umno president and prime minister for 22 years until 2003, has aligned himself with the opposition and vowed to unseat Najib, accusing him of corruption.

Najib had denied any wrongdoing or taking public funds for personal gain.

Instead, Najib claims that Mahathir has a vendetta against him as he desired to install his own son Mukhriz as prime minister.

Mahathir, in his blog post, repeated a laundry list of allegations against Najib including allegations of trying to cover-up the 1MDB scandal.
