Umno Youth today demanded Pakatan Harapan chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad to answer for alleged "wrongdoings" committed when he was prime minister for 22 years.

It said Mahathir, who was the longest serving Umno president, must take responsibility for the "wrongdoings" committed.

Among them, said its assistant secretary Mohamad Sahfri Ab Aziz, was the alleged "corporate bailout" by the government under him to "save cronies".

"Umno Youth challenges Mahathir to admit and be honest about the corporate bailouts (by the government) of his cronies and his children's firms which cost billions of ringgit during his administration," he said in a statement.

Corporate bailouts have been a consistent criticism of the Umno-led government, especially by the opposition parties who have accepted Mahathir into their fold after he quit Umno last year...
