PAS mocks Kelantanese by befriending Mahathir FMTNews FMTEng
With Dr Mahathir Mohamad unexpectedly befriending long-time political foes PAS recently with his “Malay Proclamation” initiative, the time has come for the Kelantanese people to ask the former prime minister questions pertinent to how he dealt with the state during his lengthy tenure as prime minister.
At the time Mahathir identified the Pergau Dam project as necessary to meet the increasing energy demands of the country. The Pergau Aid dumbfounded critics of Mahathir’s “Buy British Last” policy. Critics also claimed the aid package was improperly linked to a defence deal between the two countries involving the purchase of arms.Critics accused the Malaysian government of awarding the dam contract to the UK-based company without conducting competitive bidding. They also claimed that the decision was politically motivated.
