Only insults from Umno hurt me, Mahathir says.

PUTRAJAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is neither sad nor angry by the “slipper” insult hurled at him by an MIC member.

The former prime minister said he was not affected by it. “Nothing would have happened to me.”

Instead, he said, he would have felt angry and saddened if such an insult had been made by Umno members.

“This is not the first time I have been insulted. People might have forgotten how Umno leaders had insulted me. Nazri (Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Abdul Aziz) and the previous menteri besar of Kedah wanted me expelled from Umno.

“However, then, no one gave any reaction. No one dared to say anything,” he said. - + selanjutnya
