Why Mahathir? - Part 2

Image
Why Mahathir? - Part 2 So now PM Najib visits Anwar Ibrahim in hospital when the former underwent a surgery.    The following day, DPM Zahid Hamidi visited Anwar !   So what's happening Malaysians ask ?   This is not a case of "no permanent friends or enemies in politics". To begin with Anwar and Najib were never personal enemies. Najib had never tried to make Anwar a wild outcast in the political jungle as did Mahathir.   Mahathir sacked Anwar from UMNO and threw him into political wilderness for more than 16 years till today. He was brought to court and found guilty on abuse of power and sodomy charges during Mahathir's time. Gani Patail was the Attorney General that time.    No not that. Mahathir when he was still in UMNO made sure that he humiliated Anwar by reminding everyone that Anwar was a convicted sodomist . That's Mahathir who goes overboard in killing his political enemies . Not Najib. True, Anwar ...

WHY MAHATHIR ?

WHY MAHATHIR ? Let us say for the moment that Barisan Nasional is not good for Malaysians.    So the voters want an alternative. DO they have it? Yes they do - they have EX UMNO and Barisan Nasional big wigs now offering themselves as the alternatives and DAP which has been in the opposition for years.    And of course PKR, which is a mix of EX UMNO and new faces not from UMNO.   And the splinter party called Amanah who are basically EX PAS, the party no Malaysian, Muslim or non Muslim can trust. SO, the real alternatives are actually DAP and to a certain extent PKR. To be fair to PKR, Anwar Ibrahim has transformed that party into a Multi ethnic party and he was the first in Malaysian politics to give "ketuanan Rakyat" or people's sovereignty a public recognition in Malaysian politics. This itself is brave and visionary in Malaysian politics which have been dominated by the cry of "ketuanan Melayu" which is racial based.    In the ...

The Irony of the Democrat Dictator called Mahathir Mohammad and his magic !

Image
The Irony of the Democrat Dictator called Mahathir Mohammad and his magic ! Mahathir is a maverick and a    magician who believes in his own magic. However, it is not entertaining but pitiful.   He actually believes that he has achieved much progress for Malaysia due to all the infrastructure, and mega projects that he has developed within the klang valley. Never mind the fact that the rest of Malaysia is not developed. Never mind the    fact also that Malaysia is left behind by countries like Korea, Japan and Singapore which was behind Malaysia when Mahathir took over as prime Minister.    He believes in his own magic. He also believes that in his 22 years, he has built a confident and stable Malaysia that all Malaysians can be proud of. Never mind the fact that he has single handedly destroyed the judiciary and made it corrupt. The Malaysian Bar council had distanced itself from the judiciary during Mahathir's tenure as Prime Mi...

Extremist or Moderate Malaysia?

Image
Extremist or Moderate Malaysia? When the Malaysian Home Minister, Zahid Hamidi spoke up in defending Ustad Zamihan Md Zin, a hardline Islamist cleric, many felt a de javu! Najib Razak, the Prime Minister of Malaysia put forth a visionary policy called "1Malaysia" intending to move away from racial identification. However, his then deputy Muhyiddin Yasin publicly opposed this policy and even declared in public that he is Malay first before Malaysian! Events later of course proved that he was planning to betray Najib.   Now, Najib wants to move his moderate policy in Malaysia and Zahid is defending an extremist cleric? So, what is Zahid's game?   Zamihan is also the president of ASWAJA, which is the Society of Ahlul Sunnah Wal Jamaah. In short he is the president of a society of Sunnis. All Malaysians and the majority of the Muslims in the world are Sunnis with the other minority being Shias.   Since all Malaysians are already Sunnis, wha...

Is Malaysia's MACC Chief caught in a political power play ?

Is Malaysia's MACC Chief caught in a political power play ? Dzulkiflee Ahmad, the Malaysian Anti Corruption chief had a full 100 days of announcements, public engagements including sermons in mosques and poetry recitals to students. He raveled in maximum publicity until he literally got caught with his pants down in a  public allegation against him involving a married woman.   Now he has gone silent like a mouse in the mosque. No more public appearances, no more poetry and surely no more sermons in the mosque.    He must be thinking: how is it that his new found powerful position with outriders and bodyguards have now kept him imprisoned so fast?  Dzulkiflee may be an experienced government servant but he has zero experience in intrigues and political power plays. Many government officials easily lose themselves in the power that the position affords them - to their own detriment. Dzulkiflee is one such case.    It is rumored that his...

• Just when Najib is stronger, comes two baggages - Malaysian AG and Anti Corruption Chief !

Just when Najib is stronger, comes two baggages - Malaysian AG and Anti Corruption Chief    ! Since Raja Petra, a portal owner of Malaysia Today revealed three weeks ago about the strange relationship between a member of parliament, Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim and Malaysian Attorney General, Apandi Ali, the anti corruption Chief Dzulkiflee Ahmad has now come under scandalous spotlight. Apandi had threatened to sue Raja Petra for his accusations against Apandi hinting that he has a corrupt relationship with Azeez.    Maybe due to the legal threat, Raja Petra appears to have back tracked and gave the impression that his sources may have got the story wrong. However, the truth is out there - Apandi is a board member of Tabung Haji, a very cash rich government linked agency that arranges Malaysian pilgrims to Mecca. A simple search on the Tabung haji website will     prove this. Azeez is the Chairman. This relationship alone will discredit Apandi as a...
