Aren't we getting tired by this nibbling going on and on since he retired as PM? I'm referring to Tun Dr Mahathir's incessant attack on Prime Minister Abdullah. Frankly, I believe, the situation faced by the PM is due to what TDM put in place over the 22 yrs he held sway over the country.
I'm no politician nor political analyst (yak!). Neither am I a supporter of the current PM. I give credit if credit is due. In this instance, the PM hasn't done a fantastic job since we gave him a huge mandate in 2004. And that is largely due to what was put in place by TDM. Did you read about TDM calling on voters to get rid of MIC leader Samy Velu? Firstly, why didn't TDM get rid of Samy during the 22 yrs he was the PM? Second, why is he interfering in BN's affairs when he has no business other than being an ordinary UMNO member? He may claim he has the right as a citizen. My dear TDM, did Malaysians enjoy that right under your rule? You're now enjoying a right that you denied us and that is due to Paklah's open administration.
TDM has been claiming that the PM should quit after BN's dismal performance in the 2008 Elex. Well, has he considered the fact that the defeat is due to the cumulative effect of all the corruption, policies, highhandedness, etc put in place during the TDM era? TDM now says nobody told him or asked him about the disappearance of hundreds of millions of South Indian Labour Fund set up during British rule. Ah, convenient lapse of memory. TDM mudah lupa yah? Just like the answers he gave the Royal Commission on the Lingam Tape - "Can't recall / Don't remember".
Take money politics for example. When did that surface? Not just in the last 5 yrs. It took root during TDM's time. And what did he do about it? Speak about. Sweep it under the carpet. No action. If only he had nipped it in the bud, UMNO politics will not be in the mess it is in today. For Paklah to clean up the mess - well, that's an impossible task even if is given another 30 years. The cancer has already advanced so much that it's money that talks today. Political analysts (yak!) claim UMNO members work hard. My dear TDM, they work hard to fill their own pockets. The UMNO member at the bottom of the rung will remain there always.
My take on the current situation is just this. BN has lost heavily. Let them claw back to the position they were in or go on with their infighting and be discarded as totally irrelevant to Malaysia of the 21st century.
And one more thing, TDM. Stop your attacks on your nemesis who you so brutally removed from the political scene. The phoenix is rising from the ashes. Beware the ides of March. He may as yet become the Prime Minister of Malaysia. That is not an impossibility although you said "Anwar is just daydreaming".
Frankly, we don't need your unsolicited advice nor your interference in our affairs. You have had your say. So hold your tongue, sir.
We wish and pray you continue to be blessed with good health!
