DAP's Ipoh Barat MP M Kulasegaran today urged former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad to "advise" right-wing NGO Perkasa to stop its "extremist politics", following Mahathir's open support for Perkasa last week.

Kulasegaran also said that Mahathir's claims that Perkasa would not exist if there was not a rise in extremist views among non-Malays was "totally wrong".

"It is untrue that the non-Malays have been attacking the rights of the Malays and bumiputeras. In fact, it is the extreme Perkasa which has been attacking the non-Malays," he stressed.

"There are many more examples that can be cited to prove Perkasa’s extremism and its unprovoked, baseless and unjustified attacks on non-Malays," he added.

Kulasegaran (left) went on to say that Mahathir would be doing a "good service to the nation" if he advised Perkasa to stop its extremist politics and "baseless" attacks on others.

Mahathir had long been labelled as a Perkasa patron, and last week, despite denying that he was a patron for the NGO, reaffirmed his support for it.

This follows several reports that Mahathir had begun distancing himself from Perkasa due to the latter's recent activities.
