'MAMAK' CARD TO BE USED AGAINST DR M? Najib has more Malay support than Dr M - racist minister Ismail Sabri

'MAMAK' CARD TO BE USED AGAINST DR M? Najib has more Malay support than Dr M - racist minister Ismail Sabri
Umno supreme council member Ismail Sabri Yaakob has accused former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad of gerrymandering and making it difficult for Umno to win seats.
Ismail said after the 1999 general election, Mahathir had turned many Malay-majority seats into mixed-race seats.
"When Mahahtir was Umno president (in 1999), Malay support for Umno decreased and everyone admitted that BN won because of the support given to component (parties).
"This is why the redelineation took place at that time (after the elections). Malay-majority seats were decreased and were turned into mixed constituencies.
"Mahathir had no confidence in Malay support at the time. Eventually, the 'legacy' is that now non-Malay votes have become the deciding factor in many seats," Ismail Sabri told reporters today.
Following the 1999 general election, Umno's share of seats in Parliament was reduced by 22. The party also lost control over Terengganu.
During the subsequent 2004 general election, Umno bounced back, winning an additional 38 seats.
Ismail said Najib had managed to bring changes to Umno and this resulted in the party gaining more votes in the 2013 general election. - M'kini
