Malaysia ex-PM Mahathir calls on successor to quit
PUTRAJAYA, Malaysia (Reuters) - Former Malaysian premier Mahathir Mohamad vowed on Monday to keep up his lonely attack on the government, calling on his successor to quit and daring authorities to jail him for his comments.
The 81-year-old made the remarks after his humiliating defeat within the ruling party at the weekend, when he failed in a bid to become a delegate at the party's upcoming annual assembly.
At the election on Saturday, Mahathir was unable to to win enough votes in his own home state to be elected as a party delegate. He had needed some 240 votes.
The man who led the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) to five straight general-election victories, and ruled for 22 years, polled just 227 votes.
"Either he changes or he steps down," Mahathir, who had wanted to air his grievances at November's assembly, said of his successor Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
"I will continue to expose all the misdeeds. They can try to shut me up. They can try to cut me out from all the media. They can try to stop me from talking....the only way they can stop me is to throw me in jail," he told reporters in Putrajaya, the administrative capital.
Mahathir, who accuses Abdullah of hurting the national interest by shelving important state projects, said party members had been bribed to vote against him.
"I lost because they used bribery in order to win the election," Mahathir said at his Perdana Leadership Foundation, a thinktank whose offices have become a base for his supporters.
He also accused Prime Minister Abdullah of turning the UMNO-dominated ruling coalition into a family affair.
"I have a duty to correct things which go wrong to make sure that this country goes along the right path and to make sure this country is not made use of by anybody for their own personal or family interests," Mahathir said in an extraordinary outburst.
"The Barisan Nasional (coalition) government has been turned into the government of the family of Datuk Seri Abdullah," he added, using Abdullah's honorific.
'SHOW PROOF'
Abdullah is overseas, but the minister in the prime minister's department, Nazri Abdul Aziz, denied Abdullah's family was profiting from his position and also rejected the allegation that UMNO members had been bribed to vote against Mahathir.
"Don't just talk, show proof. There are also allegations that people were giving money to vote for him (Mahathir). This is mere speculation," Nazri told Reuters by phone.
The government and UMNO had feared Mahathir would use the assembly to make a highly embarrassing attack on the prime minister. Internet blogs were full of speculation that Mahathir wanted to inspire a party mutiny that could topple Abdullah.
Mahathir has consistently denied this.
But political analysts say Mahathir's defeat in the small town of Kubang Pasu, near his birthplace in the rural northwest, showed how politically weak he had become and spelled the end of the road for his campaign against Abdullah.
"He looks like he's very alone," said Ooi Kee Beng, a fellow of the Institute of South East Asian Studies in Singapore. "I think Abdullah has survived."
Second Finance Minister Nor Mohamed Yakcop said after a meeting with foreign and local fund managers in Putrajaya that the Mahathir issue was also not bothering investors.
"It's not an issue," he told reporters.
Abdullah has so far declined to engage in public debate with Mahathir and says he is still pursuing his predecessor's main policy thrust, for Malaysia to become a developed nation by 2020.
After Mahathir's defeat at the weekend, Abdullah told reporters travelling with him in Finland that Mahathir was still invited to listen to the assembly as a guest.
