In taking a swipe at Lim and Mahathir, Nazri Aziz said the DAP veteran was behaving just like Mahathir – making decisions without consulting others in the party.
“I think he (Lim) is also an old man who feels as if DAP belongs to his family.
“I do not think it was a decision made by his party members because the way I see it, many DAP MPs are not very comfortable with Mahathir,” he said after launching the Wayang Kulit exhibition held from today to Feb 28 at the National Museum here.
“It is quite usual for Mahathir and Kit Siang not to talk to their party members first,” Nazri said.
Lim had previously said there was a possibility that Wan Azizah would be made interim prime minister while Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) president Muhyiddin Yassin her deputy, if the opposition won the next general election.
Nazri, who is also the minister of tourism and culture, took another dig at both Lim and Mahathir, saying their era has passed.
“They should look after their grandchildren,” he told reporters.
Nazri did not want to comment on the possibility of Wan Azizah becoming prime minister.
