Dr Mahathir slammed ousted Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin for defying Sultan Azlan Shah's order to resign.
Speaking at the public rally of the Bukit Gantang by-election, he criticized Nizar's move to award permanent land titles to villagers in the state.
"This man just wants to be popular. He gave out land to be popular," he added.
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad hit the campaign trail for the Bukit Gantang by-election to endorse Barisan Nasional's Ismail Safian and launch his renewed attacks against his former deputy Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. He is hoping to bring in the votes for BN.
Mahathir expressed his hope that the many members who had left the party would also return to its fold.
“Times have changed. The government today is truly for the people. So I am urging those who had left Umno, please come back,” he said, adding that he was confident that the current administration would be taking steps to address people’s unhappiness.
He also said that street demonstrations were not part of Malaysian culture and were a waste of time.
“What do we get by demonstrating on the streets, except to cause damage? Dialogue is the best way to resolve unhappiness and differences. If we are still unhappy with the government, then show it through the ballot boxes,” he added.
