Mahathir Accuses Malaysian Government of Dictatorial Tactics, Stifling Malay Discourse

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad has accused the current government of acting like a dictatorship, stifling open discussions about issues affecting the Malay community. In a recent press conference, Mahathir stated, "This government is preventing us from talking about Malay issues." He cited instances where his attempts to raise concerns about policies impacting the Malay community were allegedly blocked. The press conference, attended by several individuals, was filmed and shared online. Mahathir's remarks have sparked intense debate about freedom of speech and political discourse in Malaysia. The government has yet to respond to these accusations.
