PETALING JAYA: DAP has dismissed former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s claim that they were “using each other”to defeat Najib Razak, the then Barisan Nasional chairman, in the 14th general election.

Its secretary-general Loke Siew Fook insisted that the party was sincere in collaborating with Mahathir at that time.

“We (DAP) were sincere in collaborating, hoping that Mahathir had changed.

“The goal was not only to bring down Najib Razak’s administration but to also bring reforms,” he said after an event held at Sunway Resort.

Mahathir had during an episode of a podcast hosted by former Umno leaders, Khairy Jamaluddin and Shahril Hamdan, claimed that both he and DAP were merely using each other in their shared goals of toppling Najib in the 2018 general election.
