Mahathir Strikes Back! (4)

Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad last week made another shocking comment about Pak Lah. The comment was about him rejecting the ‘Islam Hadhari’ concept mooted by the latter, which emphasize on moderate Islam. He made this comment in a dialogue between him and NGOs last Sunday.

What’s with Tun’s recent outrage with the government? One thing for sure is he is not yet senile. I’ve watched him giving speeches since I arrived in Malaysia and I can tell you that at the age of 81 years old, Tun is not a senile old man. So, why is he doing this to himself? I mean, if I were him, I would just enjoy my golden years doing things that I like to do. Maybe jump out of a plane like George Bush Sr. on his birthday last couple of years.

I can only make three possible conclusions on why he is so upset with the government.

Firstly, he is upset because he is about to lose something so great that he is willing to do anything to get it back. Frankly, I can’t think of anything that is so great that motivates Tun to launch a crusade against Pak Lah.

Secondly, Tun is just a true patriot and all he wants to do is to save the country from the grubby little paws of a certain son-in-law.

Thirdly, Tun is just a plain stupid old man who is suffering from what Tun Musa Hitam called (former Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister), a ‘post-prime ministerial syndrome’.

I guess I’ll leave those three conclusions for you to choose which one is correct.

Ciao.

sigh. gotta say again that i love your new template lah. sangat.

first of all i think tun really wanted to save Malaysia from being captured by the son-in-law. you heard about him pulling the bullet on Najib, with help from his so-called collegue in Singapore? all from his oxford clan lah of course.

second, i think tun is irritated because most of his policies are being reversed. it's not what, but why abdullah is doing all that.

not really sure lah. but malaysia-today.net has lots of answers. love the "khairy chronicles".

I Hate Him.

I read a blog of my friend today and I have to say this, "I hate you!" There, I've said it. I can't believe that he would actually wrote something like that. I mean, I've heard him saying it, but to write it in his blog is totally unacceptable - at least to me. Though part of what he wrote is true, he still has no rights whatsoever to write those things.

Bad Bee. Bad Bee.

Everyone seems to be talking about exams nowadays. Well, you can’t blame them since exam is just around the corner. Currently I am revising for Principles of Marketing and Management with a bee hovering in front of me (well, actually, I am typing this entry). Not a very conducive environment indeed, I must say. For some strange reasons I seem to attract five bees into my room this week alone. It is amazing to see how these bees can take just 2 seconds to come into my room and the whole day to get out. Why is it so difficult for them to find the window to fly out of my room remains a mystery to me. Here I am staring at the bee and keep telling it to go to the right, where the window is. Sometimes, I even wonder whether it is the same bee everyday or not. Speaking of which, (not totally related but bees do remind me of airplanes) AirAsia is going to sign a new sponsorship $5.6million deal with Manchester United (as in the football club). To be honest, I don’t really see the connection be...

Monkey Business.

Malaysian Members of the Parliament (MP) are a disgrace to the country! That is all I have to say after watching how those MPs behaving like a bunch of idiots. It is a wasted effort by Malaysians having to queue up to elect them during General Election only to see them acting like MONKEYS in the Parliament. I know it is normal for MPs to shout at each other over certain issues, but it is OK if they are shouting at each other fighting for the cause of people who voted for them. Malaysians voted for you because they want you to represent their voice in the Parliament. In the end, will the shouting benefits the people? NO, because the real issue that was debated at first was dropped at the end of the shouting as if it was a meaningless issue. It is not a surprise to see why it took the Parliament a very long time to pass a bill only to realize later that the bill has lots of overlooked loopholes. Then, the people will protest the new bill and they will have to bring it back to the Parliam...
