Former PM tells The Australian that PM Najib Razak is ready to give his consent to stoning and amputations so that PAS supports his leadership.
…
PETALING JAYA: Dr Mahathir Mohamad has told reporters of The Australian that Prime Minister Najib Razak is so desperate to cling to power that he is willing to sign off on the harsh Islamic law of Hudud that PAS is pushing for in Kelantan.
In the recent interview, the former premier said, “He’s (Najib) prepared to support these so-called Hudud laws where you decapitate people, chop off their hands, stone them to death.
“He doesn’t care what he does or what his policy is as long as he gets support. And he wants the support of the opposition PAS. The leader of PAS is talking to him.”
Mahathir, who gave up his Umno membership recently and has joined forces with Opposition politicians to oust Najib as prime minister, alleged Malaysia was “sliding towards” adopting more conservative Islamic principles.
He also alleged that Najib was not the moderate he portrayed himself to be at the global level.
“(Najib) is not a moderate in that sense. He wants to be a moderate for the world, but domestically he agrees with these extreme so-called syariah laws.”

“If they want to investigate, let them investigate,” said Dr Mahathir this morning, after delivering a talk on nation building at a forum hosted by the Human Life Advancement Foundation (HLAF) which he chairs.
Khalid also announced that some investigations into the matter have been concluded.

Mahathir under fire for seeking foreign help – The Straits Times http://goo.gl/fb/H2pFoh
KUALA LUMPUR – Former Malaysian premier Tun Mahathir Mohamad has come under fire from politicians in the ruling Umno-led coalition for seeking foreign intervention to oust Prime Minister Najib Razak.Tun Dr Mahathir had said in an interview with The Weekend Australian that the chances of ousting Datuk Seri Najib, who is under fire over heavily indebted state investment fund 1MDB, were slim if there was no external pressure.
Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said yesterday that Dr Mahathir, when in power from 1981-2003, had frequently reminded government officers and party leaders not to cooperate with foreign powers to tarnish Malaysia’s image or damage the country.
“He used to scold us if we cooperated with foreigners, while some of us have also even been accused as being foreign agents,” Datuk Ahmad Zahid told reporters after closing the 1Malaysia Welfare Tour in Perak, according to the New Straits Times.
Separately, the Umno Veterans Club said it wanted action to be taken against Dr Mahathir under the Sedition Act, state news agency Bernama reported
“Umno Veterans do not want the government to compromise in matters affecting the stability of the country, and we cannot allow any citizen to sabotage their own country,” the group’s secretary Mustapha Yaakub said in a statement.
