By Yu Ji

KUCHING: PRS president Tan Sri Dr James Masing (pic) has hit out at former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad for being a hypocrite by attending the two-day Bersih 4 rally in Kuala Lumpur.

The Sarawak Land Development Minister said Dr Mahathir could not have it both ways, by attending the rally, but denying support for Bersih 2.0.

Masing also said it was during Dr Mahathir's premiership when Sabah's migrant problem started.
