Saying both Umno and its partners in a coalition in government are corrupt, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad believes the next general elections are the last chance for the country to make the right choice.
“I still feel the need to bring down this government because this government is a corrupt government. It did not come into power through elections,” Mahathir told a news conference at the launch of his latest memoir titled Capturing Hope: The Struggle Continues For A New Malaysia.
He says if the next elected government is formed of corrupt politicians, that will be the end of the fight against corruption “because the corrupt government will ensure that through corruption, they will stay in power”.
“So the next election is going to be a very important election in Malaysia. It is the last chance that we have to clean up this country. If you don’t, then forever you’re going to have bad government,” he said.
