He was commenting on the 12-point proclamation, which blamed the “economic and political predicament” of the race on the “carelessness” of Malay leaders themselves.

In other words, Salleh described it as a “self-incriminating proclamation” because it suggested that Mahathir is the most “careless” of them all. “He had been prime minister for 22 years (from 1981 to 2003) and later for 22 months (from 2018 to 2022). He headed two different governments but still failed.

“The proclamation suggests that his handpicked successor Abdullah Ahmad Badawi also failed. The person he supported to overthrow his successor, Najib Abdul Razak, also failed. The person he collaborated with to topple the successor to his successor, Muhyiddin Yassin, also failed.

“Apart from failing himself, Mahathir had a significant role in choosing others who supposedly failed the race as well. So, the conclusion is simple. He is the biggest failure,” he told Malaysiakini. Noting how the proclamation claimed the last general election witnessed the race losing political power, Salleh again turned the clock back to Mahathir’s undisputed reign for more than two decades.

“He was heading a government which was triumphant in all the general elections. BN had controlled two-thirds of the seats in the Lower House. Despite this, the proclamation claims the race is still in the doldrums. Mahathir has blamed Anwar for several venues cancelling the booking to hold a gathering to launch the proclamation.

Among others, the proclamation states:

• The Malays have never controlled the nation’s economy. Even their little stalls have been taken by others.

• Of late, the only power they possessed, political power, has also slipped out of their hands.

• The fate of the Malays at present and in the future can no longer be determined by them.

• The cause for this is the carelessness of Malay leaders themselves.

• The Malay party built on the foundation of religion, race and nation has been turned into a party to enrich oneself.

• Jostling for power and money has destroyed Malay unity.

• The Malays are so weak that even the sovereignty of their homeland will slip from their hands. Their future is bleak. Poverty is forcing the Malays to sell their lands.

YellowCondor6925 : He is crying to be a PM even to the extent of creating of disunity among the races. The Police should an eye on this old cunning man as he may team up with Hadi and create a situation of chaos in the country.

The country is now moving forward in a new direction where there is no place for corruption. This might be worrying the old man. Any wrong move by these two cunning people, the police should arrest them immediately.

Cogito Ergo Sum : Only Said Keruak can say it without repercussions. And he hit the nail on the head…several times. And if you still don’t get, then I think you need to see a shrink.

You not only failed the Malays, you failed Malaysians…twice. That’s a double failure. It’s time the authorities started looking into your children’s humongous wealth. That will stop you from sowing the seeds of discord.

apanama is back : "So, the conclusion is simple. He is the biggest failure,” Khakhakhakhakha........ Hahahahahahahaha..... But Mahathir "buat tak tau" and "buat bodoh" because he plan to be PM for third time.

Hahahahahaha.... Nowadays, almost most of the people know his failures and tricks. "Tak laku!" Mahathir can go and fly kite with his 12-point proclamation.
