LANGKAWI: Awards will only be given to those who serve the nation, not for individuals who only support leaders in power, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. On the scene: Dr Mahathir checking homes destroyed in a storm at Kampung Kuala Melaka after visiting the temporary shelters at SK Kuala Teriang. Meanwhile, Dr Mahathir slammed Umno Youth for saying that the government made a bad decision in not continuing with the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project. “If Umno Youth can come up with RM55bil, we can proceed with the ECRL,” he said. Dr Mahathir, who is Langkawi MP, was here to visit flood victims in Kuala Teriang.
