Syed Husin Ali, one of the founding leaders of PKR following the merger of Parti Keadilan Nasional and Parti Rakyat Malaysia, has criticised Pakatan Harapan and questioned if its leaders are now incapable of standing up to Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

In a statement yesterday evening he criticised Mahathir for refusing to outline a clear transition plan and said that the fighters and leaders of the past who fought day and night to defend the people and save the country has now fallen silent.

Syed Husin also criticised Mahathir for downplaying his successor's ability to lead, calling it a betrayal and insult to Harapan.
