Pakatan Harapan chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad has made a "clown" out of himself by making fun of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's diet, said a pro-Umno portal today.
"Even Mahathir, who is almost 100 years old, has joined in the stupidity of the opposition in politicising the issue of Najib's diet.
“Looks like Mahathir is willing to make a clown out of himself, or more accurately a puppet, who follows whatever instructions from the big boss to the point of embarrassing himself and his lineage,” MyKmu.net said today.
The ex-premier had today quipped that he only eats local rice, an obvious jibe at Najib who had said he replaced rice with quinoa in his diet for health reasons.
The opposition is also childish for homing in on Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s diet, the portal added.
It said everyone was entitled to their own diet and eating habits as long as it did not go against Islam.
DAP’s Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng had also criticised Najib for being out of touch with Malaysians as quinoa is considered an expensive food item.
“How shallow is this accusation. Najib is one of the prime ministers who gives the most priority to the rakyat,” the portal said in response to Lim.
It pointed to the BR1M cash handout initiatives, the PR1MA affordable housing scheme and several other welfare programmes as proof of Najib’s concern over the rakyat’s well-being.
“Malaysians know who is really taking care of the rakyat,” it said- Mkini
