And perhaps for that reason, he acknowledged the progress achieved by UMNO and Barisan Nasional (BN), through a succession of leadership as Malaysia began as a country that had nothing after independence.
“It was a time when we lacked knowledge, we had no factories, students fell short of university, lived in poverty ... but if you look at the current day, the struggles raised our country to a level that can be proud of," he was quoted by Bernama when he spoke at the Program Bicara Rakyat PPBM in Kampung Batu Sawar, Sungai Lembing, Pahang, yesterday.
Although he tried to save face by declaring that it was a bit awkward when PPBM supporters heard himself saying that as if he still wants to be in the government, but that is the truth.
“But if the matter is a merit, then it is a merit. What is true is actually true. In the last decades with the government’s policies spearheaded by UMNO and BN, our country became a developed country, famous and in the context of Islam, is said to be a model country," he said.
Inevitably, such a high compliment to BN and UMNO as if he was saying that he misses UMNO, the sacred party of the Malays.
Muhyiddin may have realized that it is difficult for him to become prime minister due to the exposure by the Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku, let alone Abdul Aziz’s challenge to Lim Kit Siang to make a statutory declaration to deny his claims, has yet to be accepted till now.
Instead the DAP leader responded by wanting to sue Utusan Malaysia and The New Straits Times, instead of Tunku Abdul Aziz.
Similarly to the hot scandal linking Muhyidding to Nika Gee Siew Yee.
The case was brought to Jabatan Agama Islam Johor (JAIJ) and important documents related to it were submitted by an NGO, Jaringan Melayu Malaysia (JMM).
Tunku Abdul Aziz exposure makes Muhyiddin appeared quite odd because as a senior leader who heads PPBM, he was supposed to be given priority in any case.
