LANGKAWI: Tun Dr Mahathir Mo­ha­mad said the statement by Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia vice-president Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman on granting contracts to cronies was his own personal view and did not represent the party. “It was not a party decision, he gave his opinion, and we are not keeping to it. On Monday, Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman said Pakatan Harapan Youth was against solicitation for contracts and positions from those in power. We need to ensure those who deserve it are the ones who get it,” Syed Saddiq, who is also Bersatu Youth chief, said. On calls for Abdul Rashid to step down, he said it was best for it to be discussed in the presidential council.
