PETALING JAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s remarks about Malaysian-Indians “not being completely loyal” to the country has led to other politicians decrying what they say was a divisive comment from the former prime minister.

National Unity Minister Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang said he was disappointed with Dr Mahathir’s remarks, adding that the veteran politician should be a role model of unity rather than inciting tensions.“I am disappointed and strongly condemn the statement issued by Dr Mahathir who claimed that ‘Indian society in Malaysia is still not completely loyal to this country because they identify with their country of origin’.
