“Dr Mahathir insulted the Bugis community by comparing them with pirates in his speech at a rally on Oct 14. “We want Zaid and Dr Mahathir to openly apologise to the Sultan. “Finally, we also want police to investigate and take action against Zaid and Dr Mahathir under the Sedition Act and any other law deemed suitable,” he said. In the interview, Sultan Sharafuddin had warned that the deliberate use of sensitive issues to fish for votes in the general election would destroy the country. The Sultan also said that Zaid, who was born in Kota Baru, could go back to Kelantan if he was upset with the remarks he made against Dr Mahathir.
