Fresh from publicly endorsing his son Mukhriz for the Kedah arch minister's seat, former budding apportion Mahathir Mohamad subsequent trained his sights on his daughter - Marina.
Urging the infrequently outspoken Marina to be 'sensitive' of how her mostly liberal function could start her brother's political chances, the 86-year-old Mahathir suggested for the initial time his parenting skills to the nation.
And it is clear, as distant as the Mahathir family goes, politics come first.
"I do hope she will realise what she is you do is not great for herself, not great for the supervision celebration at least. She should also be supportive about her brother who is contesting in the election," Mahathir pronounced during an interview with online television station The Malaysian Observer (MobTV).
He had been asked to comment on Marina, an AIDS/HIV romantic as well as open supporter of the Bersih rallies for clean elections - dual issues which Mahathir is openly as well as vehemently against though which Marina assumingly endorses.
Drawing the line
Today, he publicly warned his daughter not to get carried away with her proffer work as well as finish up fighting for the rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual as well as Transgender folk.
"She never pronounced she supports this; we hope she doesn't. She cared ! for this people though she has to draw the line between them as well as the thought which being homosexual is okay, or group marrying group is okay," pronounced Mahathir.
The former PM who ruled Malaysia for twenty-two years from 1981 to 2003 also let trip he did not similar to Marina to join forces with herself with Bersih, the transformation for free as well as satisfactory elections as he believed it had been hijacked by the opposition.
However, Mahathir skirted the issue of either he upheld the element of clean polls. This is not startling since which his critics have mostly indicted him of large gerrymandering as well as even offering citizenship to foreign workers if they voted to keep his Umno-BN coalition in power.
Typical big-mouth Asian dad?
"She doesn't care about what people think. we care about what people think. If not, we won't get anywhere," pronounced Mahathir.
"Maybe it's since she has no ambition so she speaks her mind. we cannot agree with the things she is doing, though today you cannot tell your children 'please stop this, please stop that'; they have the mind of their own."
Marina is Mahathir's eldest kid as well as notwithstanding his current obsession in making sure Mukhriz lands the Kedah arch minister's post, it is well-known which she is his the one preferred offspring as well as their father-and-daughter attribute enviably strong.
Nonetheless, it would be engaging to ask Marina what she thinks of her dad's ultimate comments - has his thinking turn antiquated with age or is he just ano! ther Asi an dad, cherishing the sons as serious commercial operation as well as the daughters - mere decoration!
