I’ll consider standing if no other choice, says Dr M
Dr Mahathir Mohamad previously said he would not defend his Langkawi parliamentary seat in GE15 because of his poor health and age.
PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad says he is willing to consider contesting the next general election (GE15) to defend his Langkawi parliamentary seat.
Mahathir, 96, said Pejuang is eyeing several candidates to contest the seat, but he is open to standing if none was found to be suitable.
“We have candidates, we can’t name them yet,” he was quoted as saying on AstroAwani.
“If there isn’t (any other suitable choice) and if people suggest (I contest in Langkawi), I will consider it,” he said after a meeting with ferry operators at a hotel in Kuah, Langkawi, last night.
In March, Mahathir said he had decided not to defend his Langkawi parliamentary seat in GE15, citing his poor health and age.

How about getting the evangelical Christian party to contest to see how sincere are they working for the future of malays...

DeleteWill those ketuananized melayu support the DAP for the well-being of their future?
If not for Mahathir, Langkawi would still be the sleepy backwater it was in the 1970s when I first went there.
ReplyDeleteAs KT says, "It's OK - we know he often didn't keep his words"
ReplyDeleteI believe he is still worried about boy-boy's fate when he (old buffoon) is not around.
Pejuang should just close shop and save on the deposits they are very likely going to lose.
...often did not keep his actions?
