KUALA LUMPUR, March 12 — Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has clarified his description of Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as a “traitor”.
He told Sinar Harian in an interview that he did not mean to say Muhyiddin betrayed him personally.
“The word (traitor) does not refer to him. (It refers to) his actions in betraying the party’s struggle. Rightly, in Bersatu’s struggle... my views should be prioritised for discussions, but I was flatly rejected.
“So I was disappointed with the action of those who previously pledged support to me, told me they were fully behind me and not at all interested in becoming the prime minister,” he said.
Dr Mahathir said that despite his previous insistence of loyalty, Muhyiddin went against him by association with “kleptocrats” simply to gain their support.
“Kleptocrats” is a pejorative he uses on members of the former Barisan Nasional government, particularly those in Umno.
The former prime minister said he was dismayed to see Muhyiddin prepared to accept Datuk Seri Najib Razak when he could not.
“So I felt let down. Maybe the word ‘traitor’ won’t seem accurate to some. But for me, those actions count as betraying the cause,” he explained.
Muhyiddin has tried to reach out to Dr Mahathir for reconciliation, saying he was ready to meet his predecessor at any time and place.
However, Dr Mahathir continues to insist he will not meet Muhyiddin so long as he is associated with Umno.

Wakakaka, he's getting WARMER now - all cakap ayam.
He has removed Moo-Moo from the list of his bete noires, leaving only Najib and Anwar. Moo-Moo is once again a 'virgin' in his eyes.
And soon we'll see him and Mukhriz returning to the warm cosy fold of Ketuanan Melayu and Malay Dignity, syabas.
Yes,talk cock only.What else there is to talk about.Cock.
