Dr M says main priority is removing PM, not systemic change
(Malay Mail Online) – Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today he is more focused on unseating Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak than changing the system, despite Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan’s claim this week that he would gain more support if his campaign was to seek wider reforms.
The former prime minister pointed out that should Najib be successfully dethroned, it would then be up to Malaysians to decide how to make changes to the government.
“I’m very concerned about the first change, change in the leadership… but whatever comes after that is up to the leader to decide.
“My first priority is to get Najib to step down — that’s why I join the demonstration,” he said, referring to his appearance during the 34-hour Bersih 4 rally in August.
“As to the others, it is up to the majority to decide,” he told a press conference after the 2nd annual Malaysia’s War on Corruption Symposium today.
