Mahathir ups the ante


Three immediate questions on Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad’s shock decision to quit Umno:

1. Was it the direct result of the Cabinet decision on the Lingam Video Clip Royal Commission of Inquiry report directing the Attorney-General to investigate Mahathir and five others for any offences committed by them?

2. Was it part of a larger grand plan to escalate pressure both inside and outside Umno to force Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to step down as Prime Minister and Umno President?

3. Was it an act of desperation at his failure to influence events in Umno so far?

Time will soon tell.

    Separatist , he was 20 years ago, and still in his 80′s.
    His achivements, bought a good name for himself at the expense of others.

    Still adamant and powerful , for how long more i wonder.
    But gums are weak now, it time to go , old chap you done yourself great, lets forget and go horsing lah,
    the horsey will not know whose ass is on his back.
