Kua said it is not as if Mahathir had become a genuine born-again democrat since he has not shown a sliver of contrition.
“He is not sorry for the white terror of Operasi Lalang, for the political conspiracy against Anwar and saying on record that the latter is morally unfit to be PM because he is a womaniser and sodomiser, for squandering more than RM100 billion in the financial scandals during his term in office through crony capitalism and bailing out failed businessmen including his son."

KT Note - The betrayal above mentioned by Dr Kua is not by Mahathir but by Pakatan leaders who agreed to ally the coalition with Pribumi and make Pribumi's Head their leader (Chairman).
kt note - Dr Kua has been too kind - I call Mahathir a despicable dictatorial despot.
Dr Kua opines, and I agree with him, that a so-called reformist coalition like Pakatan (especially PKR and DAP) allying itself with a despicable dictatorial despot like Mahathir and his exclusive-to-Malay ketuanan Pribumi party has been the greatest betrayal in Malaysian political history.

Now read on with the Malaysiakini news:
A veteran human rights activist has described the appointment of Dr Mahathir Mohamad as chairperson of Pakatan Harapan, or in the former premier's own words – "top dog" of the coalition – as the biggest betrayal of the reformasi movement.
Kua Kia Soong said it was bad enough when Harapan made an alliance with the “unrepentant former autocrat”.

“Well, now that Mahathir has been made the chairperson of the coalition, Harapan will have to answer for all his scandals.
“Harapan must be prepared for more than the RM30 billion forex (foreign exchange) losses incurred during Mahathir's term,” [...]

Kua said it is not as if Mahathir had become a genuine born-again democrat since he has not shown a sliver of contrition.
“He is not sorry for the white terror of Operasi Lalang, for the political conspiracy against Anwar and saying on record that the latter is morally unfit to be PM because he is a womaniser and sodomiser, for squandering more than RM100 billion in the financial scandals during his term in office through crony capitalism and bailing out failed businessmen including his son."
“The litany of woes inflicted under Mahathir's rule has been well-documented and every community has its story: the 10,000 indigenous peoples who were forcibly displaced from their ancestral homes in Bakun in order to make way for yet another of Mahathir’s grandiose dam projects at a time when the project had been suspended during the financial crisis in 1998.
“The Indian plantation workers whose communities were destroyed through Mahathir's neo-liberal capitalist policies and who were forced to become urban settlers.
“The needless communal controversies created around mother tongue education during the 80s, including the Unified Examination Certificate in 1975, the National Culture Policy, the unqualified school administrators sent to Chinese schools in 1987, and others,” he added.

Kua also pointed out that Mahathir was the first prime minister to claim Malaysia is an Islamic state.
Read Lim Kit Siang's 929 and 617 Declarations, a criticism of dictatorial Mahathir's declaration of Malaysia as an Islamic fundamentalist state. Today Lim Kit Siang has betrayed us in his alliance with Mahathir, thus now keeping his mouth shut on this matter as his oral orifice is busy for something else.
In more recent times, the Suaram adviser said during the 2013 general election, the former premier had criticised Najib for wasting public funds on the Chinese after they voted for the opposition.
“He is also the top dog in the new 'Pribumi' party which is only open to 'Pribumis' no less.
What I have been endlessly pointing out to Pakatan zombies.
“You have to be a 'Zombie Democrat' to accept such a party into the coalition that is supposed to embody the reformasi movement.
“Do Harapan leaders still remember what their reformasi programme stands for?”

I don't think so Dr Kua - their minds are too preoccupied with fantasies of sitting in Putrajaya with untold powers, and to f* with democracy, principles and reforms.
