Mahathir slams MM's views on religion

KUALA LUMPUR: Former premier Mahathir Mohamad has lashed out at Singapore's Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew for his recently published remarks on Muslims, accusing him of not respecting religion and blaming him for the separation of Singapore and Malaysia in 1965.

In his first comments on the book Lee Kuan Yew: Hard Truths To Keep Singapore Going, Tun Dr Mahathir slammed Mr Lee for his views on religion, homing in especially on his remark linking Singapore Muslims' beliefs and racial integration in the island-nation.

'I am not surprised by his statement because to him religion is not important,' said Dr Mahathir in a lengthy interview with local paper Utusan Malaysia's Sunday edition, Mingguan Malaysia.

'For him the end justifies the means, so if he wants racial integration in Singapore, he won't let Islam stand in the way of his goals. That is Kuan Yew. He totally does not respect religion and the sensitivities of other races.'

The former premier's comments are the latest to emerge from Malaysia following the launch of Mr Lee's book. Malay-language dailies here, including Utusan and Berita Harian, have been hitting out at Mr Lee in various commentaries and articles, claiming, among other things, that the elder statesman was trying to pit neighbouring countries against each other. They also said Mr Lee should learn more about Islam before making statements about Muslims.

In his interview, Dr Mahathir also claimed that Malays in Singapore had no choice but to com-promise their beliefs.

'They are afraid of the Government,' he charged.[COLOR="_______"] 'I also feel that the Malays are careful when they speak up because they are worried they would be victimised. That is the attitude of the Malays in Singapore.'[/COLOR]

In Singapore, Mr Lee's remarks have drawn protests from several Muslim groups.

Dr Mahathir maintained that Singapore's Malays were 'weak' and marginalised, whereas Malaysia ensured equal opportunities for all races.

Dr Mahathir suggested that other countries might have responded to such a situation 'using force', but Malaysia's then Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman, 'chose to separate Singapore and gave independence to the country'.

'That is why it is not true when Singapore accuses us of having malice towards them,' he said.

[pallkia]

His father is a Pakistan ah neh and his mother is a Malay and he calls himself a Malay?What is he actually?

 

[silverfox@]

Mahathir is also another loud hailer.

Chose his own successor Badawi and kept slamming all his policies in public, Like telling everyone Badawi is his puppet.

At least now, Najib and him still do not have such frosty relationships.

Because he always feels that he is at least one class above.

Good question. But one thing is for sure. The cowardly mentor never shoot the shooter Mahatir.

It wouldn't surprise me if MM and Dr M share the same ancestors. They are like brothers though they sure don't treat each other that way. Notice their traits and it is almost identical.

Like hell there are equal opportunites for all race in Malaysia!!!

Look at how they treat the Chinese and Indians!! Surely Singapore treats our Malays much much much better how Malaysia treats their non-Bumis. Dr Mahathir must be dreaming!!

We do not need to argue with them. The facts speaks louder. Look at the number of Chinese and Indians settling down in Singapore, vs the number of Malays settling down in Malaysia, it give the complete picture.

If Malaysia has ensured equal opportunites for all race, the Indians would have demostrated, and the Chinese wouldn't be here in Singapore.

As a matter of fact, Mahathir is half-right. Malays are generally scared of the govt. Chinese are more scared esp. if it affects their livelihoods.

 

[no_faith]

'They are afraid of the Government,' he charged.

whereas Malaysia ensured equal opportunities for all races.

Many of my Sporeans colleagues don't even want to discuse politics during lunch time because they don't want to get into trouble
