Dr M hits back at Musa and Shahrir Samad
“Tun Musa Hitam claimed that I was a thorn in the flesh that has now been removed. Has Tun forgotten that he was a thorn in the flesh in Umno back in 1986-1987 when he was the Deputy Prime Minister (appointed by me)?
“He had resigned as Deputy Prime Minister and Umno deputy president because he wanted me to step down as the Prime Minister and be replaced by him.
“Following an appeal by supreme council members, he returned as Umno deputy president as he still had intentions to bring me down.
“That is why he instigated his worst enemy, Tengku Razaleigh , to fight against me,” Dr Mahathir claimed in his blog www.chedet.com on Thursday.
“In the end, UMNOfell apart and the splinter party Semangat 46 was formed which he cleverly did not join. He was then appointed by me as a Minister-level messenger to the United Nations. Tengku Razaleigh, on the other hand, was out of UMNO and became Tun’s victim ,” Dr Mahathir said in his posting.
On Shahrir, Dr Mahathir said: “Who are you (Shahrir) to criticise me? If it weren’t for Tun Musa’s sister who as the Johor Baru Wanita chief, came to my house early in the morning to appeal that you be allowed to return to Umno, you would have become a thorn in Umno’s flesh for a longer period.”
