Tun Mahathir arrived at Dataran PPP in Simpang, Taiping this morning on his election campaign trail. Tun was mobbed by more than 5,000 people who surged to shake hands with him.
At the rally, Tun smashed Bukit Gantang PAS's candidate, Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin for giving out permanent land title to villagers in the state.
"He (Nizar) is doing everything to be popular. He is not sincere," he said to thunderous applause from the floor.
Tun also smashed Nizar for defying Sultan Azlan Shah`s order to resign and renewed his attacks on Anwar who was too impatient to be rise in rank and irresponsible.
“That man only knows how to create uncertainty. He promised something big would happen on Sept 16 (last year) but nothing happened. Then he promised something special for the people, and nothing materialised,” he said to loud cheers.
Tun said even though we are a liberalised country but it was not easy to run a multi-racial country.
"If we do something for a certain group of people, the other groups will be upset. I kena marah (scolded) for 22 years but never mind, I sudah biasa (used to it)," he said.
Saying that now he has officially rejoined UMNO, Tun fully supported Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak,UMNO ,BN and Ismail Saffian , a local boy, as the most appropriate Bukit Gantang candidate.
Tun called those who had left the party to return back to the party like him.
“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.
Tun said he was confident that with the new present administration , steps would be taken to address people’s unhappiness.
"What do we get by demonstrating on the streets, except causing damage?
"Street demonstrations are not part of Malaysian culture and are a waste of time. Dialogue is the best way to resolve unhappiness and differences."
Tun called on the people to work together with the government for the nation and rakyat.
And as he completed his speech, Tun was given a standing ovation.
Tun`s presence in Bukit Gantang is like the return of an old warrior to the political areana after about 4 years of absence. Tun is garnering votes in this last leg of election campaign trail.
Many look towards Tun rejoining UMNO as the unifying factor in UMNO and spark for the renewal of BN towards the Vision of attaining One Malaysia under the leadership of the Datuk Seri Najib Razak,the 6th Prime Minister.
Since merdeka, the rakyat of Malaysia has grown,work and built this One Malaysia to this level for all. There is no or U-turn back now. Let not race, language ,culture or party issue put us apart again.
USE YOUR VOTE WISELY.
THE FUTURE OF BUKIT GANTANG IS IN YOUR VOTE.
