Dr M’s response to the controversy


PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad argued that he should have been given the opportunity to explain his social media posts regarding the recent violence in France before they were removed. The following is his response to the issue, reproduced verbatim from his blog: 1. I am indeed disgusted with attempts to misrepresent and take out of context what I wrote on my blog yesterday.

2. Those who did that highlighted only one part of paragraph 12 which read: “Muslims have a right to be angry and to kill millions of French people for the massacres of the past.”
