Tun M: Anwar and Nik Aziz Traitors to Malays

KAMPUNG GAJAH (PERAK), 26 FEBRUARY, 2011: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today that PKR advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and PAS spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat are traitors to the Malays because they are willing to split the community for politics.

He said that Anwar was prepared to cause rifts among the Malays to get support to become Prime Minister while Nik Aziz regarded people who strived for their community as non-Muslims.

"I don't know from which hadith (sayings and examples of Prophet Muhammad) or part of the Quran that Nik Aziz got this," the former Prime Minister said at a gathering organized by the Perak Malay non-governmental organization Perkasa.

According to Nik Aziz, said Mahathir, a Malay was not a Muslim unless he was a member of PAS.

"Is this the statement of a sane person?" Mahathir said.

He added that the Kelantan Mentri Besar had even said that he was sad that he was born a Malay just to get the sympathy and support of the other communities.
