THE decision to name Dr Mahathir Mohamad as the opposition’s prime minister candidate is only to draw Malay votes in rural areas but won’t help Malaysia’s long-term struggles towards reform, a forum heard yesterday.
Panellists at the forum said Pakatan Harapan should prioritise reforms badly needed in Malaysia and not whether the former prime minister is the solution.

The choice in GE 14 is not whether Najib or Mahathir should be PM, it is a choice between UMNO corruption and an end to it. Mahathir said that he would not go one forever. That is an encouragement for PH supporters.

All these people condeming PH choice of Dr.M for PM must come up with a name. They can't simply against without a candidate. Azmin? Others agreed? Back to square one? Then the next candidate with experience, money and reach is Jibby. Still not happy? Come up with a name which you think the whole nation accept or STFU. These condemnation ain't helping the cause. Dr.M is 92 years old, how many years he still has? Dr.M is more interested in bringing down Najib than helming the country. He did not get his retirement because there is a plunderer helming the country, someone has got to do it, if PH has the able person, you think Dr. M needs to surface. It is because PH or more appropriately PKR is unable to present itself as the ideal party to lead as practically there is no leadership shown. The reason UMNO is strong is because PKR is weak.
