Mat Sabu: Umno fears the facts of history
- 9 years ago
There are heroes who fought for the independence of the country even before Umno existed but the ruling party fears it may lose its position of power if its version of history is rewritten to tell the truth said PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu.
Speaking to a 800 strong crowd at a ceramah in Gombak yesterday, Mohamad, popularly known as Mat Sabu, said that Umno kept smearing PAS as being supportive of the communist cause as it was afraid that the true history of freedom fighters might be revealed.
"All I said was Muhammed Indera (Mat Indera) was an activist for independence and Umno then says Mat Sabu is communist.
"Umno has inherited the colonial attitude. They are worried that history will need to be rewritten if we push matters further," he said.
