Today Malaysia former prime minister indirectly talk about the corruption of UMNO members.
Addressing 400 of them in Kuala Selangor, including BN elected representatives, the veteran leader said the coalition would otherwise continue to be perceived as "disgusting".
"I find that many view (BN) as disgusting and that they openly state their rejection of the BN.
"If we analyse this, we find this is because we no longer struggle to form the government, but to reap personal benefits," Mahathir said.
Besides flashing their wealth by suddenly building "RM7 or RM8 million houses", which they previously could not afford, elected representatives also felt the need to "buy support".
Speaking at a BN State Assembly Backbenchers Club event, Mahathir said BN representatives said they needed to "get contracts and raise their income" as "their supporters demand money".
"The society then views Umno and other component parties (as) corrupt as the leaders got to where they are because of money," he said.
HOWEVER! The most telling statement was when the former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad told BN leaders today to...
Change your image and do not flash your wealth in order to change the perception that the ruling coalition is corrupt, .
Notice all he mention was to tell the people not to flash their wealth and to change the perception. For me he is implying that it is ok to be corrupt and to gain wealth illegally as long as you don't flash it around. This is so that they can con the people and win the election!!
I just hope that not all Malaysian are as stupid as the former PM thinks!
