Putra Post
Newspaper in Malaysia
Putra Post was a fortnightly tabloid started by supporters of Malaysia's former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, including the Generation Mahathir club. Its goal was to spread Mahathir's views in rural areas. This happened during conflicts between Mahathir and the administration of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. Business friends of Mahathir funded the newspaper.[1]
The front page said 'Let Mahathir speak!' Inside, the paper had speeches by Mahathir calling Abdullah a liar and coward unfit for his position.[2]
