Zitat:Malaysian opposition's gains signal era of change
Mahathir Mohamad, the long-serving prime minister who hand-picked Abdullah as his successor, said Sunday at his home that Abdullah should "accept responsibility" for the loss and that if he were in the prime minister's place he would resign.
"It's shocking," Mahathir said of the election results. "The Japanese would have committed hara-kiri."
"I'm sorry that I apparently made the wrong choice," Mahathir said of his successor.
