malaysiakini and RACIST Parties

According to this malaysiakini article Mahathir: Race-based politics still relevant the former PM takes the view that Malaysians still want race-based parties.

As someone who was in control of the nation during many dubious distinctions like

1.the rape of the Judiciary
2.the spread of the Ketuanan concept that has seen Malaysia lose its competitive edge
3.the decline of the local universities
4.the cult of personality and not good policies
5.the piratisation of the economy

all under the BN regime that has mainly race based parties in its fold.
Of course one does not expect the former PM to promote parties based on principles like accountability and integrity as money politics started in his time and he did little to curb it.

But the March election results has dealt a serious blow to race-based parties and it is up to us and not the former PM to ensure they get buried in the next elections.
For a start all those who have not registered to vote need to do your part and make sure your vote counts.
