Dr M: Moderates must speak up and be heard

KUALA LUMPUR: It is even more important now than ever for moderates to speak out, said former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (pic).

Speaking to a crowd of nearly 1,000 people, yesterday, Malaysia’s longest-serving prime minister said that while there were many moderates in the country, they “don’t dare to say anything against (the extremists)” to avoid becoming targets of the extremists.
