Siti said she wanted to laugh at all the people who had previously criticised her view, which formed the pillar of her campaign as a candidate for the Batu parliamentary seat.
She said the results of the general election had shown up her critics. The Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition of Bersatu and PAS made major gains in the election, with young voters believed to have made the difference.
“Okay, you’ve seen the results of GE15,” she said in a tweet today. “That’s why I’ve been saying, our children are being brainwashed. You thought they would be the ones to save you, (but) you see who they chose.”
“This is due to decades of brainwashing, they feel they must choose groups that empower their religion, but of course, they don’t understand,” Siti said.
The PN coalition had secured 73 parliamentary seats, nine less than Pakatan Harapan, placing PN in a position to form a new coalition government.
She said that if brainwashing of the young was not halted in the next five years, Malaysia would be in a worse position, and the country would be filled with “Talibans”.
Addressing Malays who voted for PN, Siti said: “Good luck Malays, you dug your own grave. Whoever said not to talk about (separating religion and government), this is the result. I’m not surprised. Thank you. I got the last laugh.” - FMT
