KUALA LUMPUR: Muslim leaders from the previous administration were voted out in the 14th general election (GE14) because they had deviated from the true teachings of Islam. “We noted that the deviation from the teachings of Islam (among previous Muslim leaders in Malaysia) was very obvious. Prior to the election, they tolerated Muslim leaders who were not ‘very Muslim’ simply because they (knew the leaders would get away with their misdeeds). “However, when the opportunity came to overthrow such Muslim leaders, they did so and were quite brave about it,” he added. According to Dr Mahathir, the country had become very weak with regards to finances in the run0up to GE14.
