Dr M is contradicting himself, says constitutional lawyer


PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is contradicting himself with his claim that promoting Malaysia as a multiracial country is against the Federal Constitution, says constitutional lawyer Andrew Khoo.

"According to Khoo, Dr Mahathir had said in August 1996 when opening the Second World Fujian Convention and Malaysia-Fujian Investment and Trade Exhibition in Langkawi, that “Malaysians are justly proud their country is a genuinely multiracial nation."
