Mahathir: Whose side is he on?
Tun Dr Mahathir... our former premier, a great doctor and an aspirational prime minister. Yet, after his retirement, he confuses us with his staggering remarks on politics.
Zooming back in time, he sentenced his deputy Anwar Ibrahim to jail, condemning him for corruption and sodomy. Till now, he holds a strong grudge toward Anwar, more or less... afraid of Anwar's rise to power.
Couple of years ago, he blamed current prime minister Abdullah Badawi for not being a good PM. Abdullah calls them "venomous darts hurled at him". And yet, till now, Mahathir stills holds a similar grudge toward him. Moreover, he blasted Samyvellu, our former works minister, for being racist. Look who's the racist here?
Mahathir dislikes the opposition leader, and holds a prejudice on the government leader.
Recently Mahathir left UMNO. That staggering move shocked us all. Mahathir leaves the party he has sworn to support. After this, which party will he join... PAS? In this case, if he does not side the BN, nor does he side the opposition, whose side is he on?
