Seeing red over the former premier's call for Najib
Tun Razak to quit if he does not secure a two-thirds majority, S Vell

relinquish his post if he is unable to secure a two-thirds majority for
Barisan Nasional in the next election has ruffled the feathers of a

He also reminded Mahathir that his constant rantings and his association with groups like Perkasa were among the main resons why Najib would find it difficult to obtain the desired majority.
“Was it not Mahathir who said ‘even if I win by one vote, I would still rule’. Was it not Mahathir who said ‘under the Westminster (British) parliamentary system even if we win by one seat, we would continue to rule’.
