00:00 DAP has rejected the assertion made by former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad that they
00:07 were using each other to defeat Najib Raza, the then Barisan National Chairman, in the
00:12 14th General Election.
00:14 DAP Secretary-General Lok Siu Fook emphasised that the party was committed to collaborating
00:20 with Mahathir during that period.
00:24 Lok said DAP's intentions were sincere, driven by the hope that Mahathir had undergone a
00:30 genuine change.
00:32 He said the objective was not only to topple Najib Raza's administration but also to initiate
00:38 reforms.
00:39 Mahathir had, during an episode of a podcast hosted by former UMNO leaders Kairi Jamaluddin
00:46 and Sharyl Hamdan, claimed that both he and DAP were merely using each other in their
00:52 shared goal of toppling Najib in the 2018 General Election.
00:57 Lok however gave Mahathir due credit for his honesty regarding the matter, saying the former
01:02 Prime Minister was clear about his purpose of using DAP to topple Najib.
