‘Truth finally proven after six years’ – Tun M
Among the things proven was the parent party’s hasty decision to leave the government, which ultimately triggered political chaos and led to the fall of the leadership at the time.
SHAH ALAM – Parti Pejuang Tanah Air (Pejuang) has managed to prove several truths about the country’s political episode, even though it has yet to record impressive achievements in the six years since its formation.
Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said among the things proven was the parent party’s hasty decision to leave the government, which ultimately triggered political chaos and led to the fall of the leadership at the time.
“Another truth is that those involved in sacking us from the parent party, forcing us to form Pejuang, many of them have themselves been sacked today and have had to form other parties,” he said.
He said this in a speech text read out by Pejuang information chief Rafique Rashid Ali at the Pejuang 2026 Annual General Assembly (PAT) at the Ideal Convention Centre (IDCC) here on Sunday.
The speech text was read out because Dr Mahathir’s voice was rather weak and there were concerns it could affect the delivery of his address.
Dr Mahathir said another truth that had been proven was that those who were once so vocal about leaving the government, because they could not accept cooperation with certain component parties, were now seen turning back towards those parties.
“Although Pejuang is a new party compared with the country’s major political parties and its achievements have not been very encouraging in its six years of existence, it has managed to achieve a truth or vindication,” he said.
He described the political developments as showing that the cycle appeared to be nearly complete.
