Dr Mahathir Mohamad fired another acerbic salvo against his current arch nemesis Najib Abdul Razak, whom he claimed has the distinction of upending the Malay race like no other.
“In the past, the Malays looked down upon those who stole. They would be embarrassed if a family member is involved in a crime.
“But now, the Malays don’t feel ashamed. What is there to be ashamed of? Najib has planted the opinion that there is nothing to be embarrassed about if it involves theft.
“He is the boss. The boss can steal. If the boss is not embarrassed about stealing, the Malays also need not feel shame for stealing,” the former premier added in a Facebook post today.
As a result of this, Mahathir claimed many do not feel shame.
“Some are willing to kiss the hand (of those who steal). Why kiss the hand? Because you can get money. You can get positions. What is there to be ashamed of?” he added.
Without mincing words, the nonagenarian said there are those who are willing to kiss the hand even if it is “covered in faeces”.
“If there is money in the hand which is covered in faeces, okay lah. No need to be ashamed,” he added.
‘Unashamed to accept stolen money’
According to Mahathir, Najib’s greatest achievement is in transforming the Malays into a race that does not feel shame.
“Unashamed to accept stolen money. Unashamed to ask for stolen money. Unashamed for not repaying debts.
“Choosing a thief, someone who offers bribes or a prisoner as prime minister is okay. No shame in doing so.
“The world is laughing at Malaysia because it feels no shame over its shameful acts,” he added.
Najib is in the process of exhausting his final appeal with the Federal Court over his conviction and 12-year prison sentence in relation to the SRC International case.
This evening, the former premier performed a sumpah mubahalah at the Kampung Baru mosque in Kuala Lumpur.
