Harakah promotes PAS, Rocket promotes DAP, but Utusan don’t support their own bosses

Share
Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department has hit out at Utusan Malaysia, the Umno owned newspaper questioning the publication if they are trying to suggest that the current prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak should step down and be replaced by the former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. This came in the recent reports of the leaders in Umno who have come out to reject Malay rights group Perkasa while Dr Mahathir had openly voiced his support. Utusan however stood in support of Dr Mahathir.

Nazri said “I cannot understand Utusan. Who is their boss — Najib or Dr Mahathir? I wonder sometimes if they have an agenda to bring back Dr Mahathir to replace Najib. By playing up Dr Mahathir’s statements of support for Malay rights group Perkasa, the daily was clearly weakening Najib’s 1 Malaysia concept. They should be promoting Najib’s 1 Malaysia and not undermine his programme. [Instead] they are supporting Dr Mahathir. Because in the angle of their news reports, they want to give Dr Mahathir more coverage than Najib. They seem to have their own agenda. Do they have an agenda to bring back Dr Mahathir to replace Najib? And certainly, 1 Malaysia is Najib’s agenda so Umno-owned papers should be seen to support Najib by promoting 1 Malaysia. But I do not know... I am not directly involved in this. Like if you look at Harakah, they promote PAS’s programmes, Suara Keadilan promotes PKR, The Star promotes MCA, but Umno’s paper Utusan does not even support their own bosses,”

He added that “To me, they do not represent the feelings of the Malays on the ground because the Malays who support PAS will continue to support PAS regardless of what Utusan says and so will the PKR boys who support (PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri) Anwar (Ibrahim)... they do not care what Utusan says, and the same goes for all,”
