SHAH ALAM - Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has questioned his critics if it was wrong for asserting that Malaysia a Malay Land (Tanah Melayu).

“Am I wrong? Or is stating what’s true, wrong.

“I consider Sarawak and Sabah as Bumiputera land. Is that wrong?” he questioned on Facebook on Thursday.

This comes after a local media outlet today alleging that Mahathir's statement had inflamed sentiments and touched on racial issues.
