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.

//Mukhriz, Mukhriz, aiyoo, how can you be your father’s son?//- boh-liao
“Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.” – Wisdom of Lebanese poet and writer, Kahlil Gibran.
The archer sees the mark, sends forth the arrow towards the mark, but arrow somewhat got its own thoughts, felt the effect of another mark (the pull of positions & gravy train) and gave excuses that it went another way due to cross-winds… :)

What made Mahathir agree to the bailout of Tajuddin Ramli by buying his MAS shares at RM8 when the prevailing share price was RM 3.65 ? What made Mahathir agree to the “forced” purchase of Timedotcom shares by the EPF at a price significantly above the market price ?
Mahathir and his cronies used the country’s Treasury as their personal piggy bank, to do as they liked.
Whatever the horrible extent of financial corruption, nothing could compare to the corruption of the judiciary, PDRM, the ACA and the AG’s Chambers. The very foundations for democracy were undermined, until we realised that there could be no fairness in the interpretation of the law. Incompetence was tolerated so long as the people concerned could perform a service for UMNO. Financial corruption may not kill the country, but the corruption of the justice system will ultimately bring the country to its knees. We can thank Mahathir for that.
#3 by Godfather on Wednesday, 21 May 2008 - 10:48 am
Then came Badawi and his family, who surveyed his kingdom and realised that the Mahathir model should be perpetuated for their own ends. Badawi cancelled projects initiated by Mahathir, but reinstated them for a new bunch of cronies. Badawi has his own cronies who tried to steal land in Penang, proposed new megaprojects and new concessions. Badawi proposed development corridors which all the money in the developing world could not finance.
The rest, as they say, is history. Vote out the den of thieves.

All this talk of Malay rights..I have yet to see any group or individual asking the goverment to actually ,dilute the malay rights in the contitutions ..All i see is this UMNO leaders warning and shouting about it..
Look at the big picture it is UMNO who is shouting about Malay rights.Because UMNO is lossing the support of the Malays and the rakyat.Now there is even of talk that a new political party being set up by members of UMNO.UMNO is more worried of lossing its power.Without the support of the Malays UMNO is as GOOD AS DEAD

Godfather, you asked the questions and you know the answers, don’t you? Just for the info of some readers, incase we forget.
MAS RM8.00 was because of the currency differential between Sing and Ringgit. That part of the shares were pledged to a Sing Bank. Coupled with unpaid roll-over interest, it came to RM8.00. It was redeemption cost, not value.
The TimeCom, of course nobody believe the write-up hypes before listing. So EPF took a huge chunk at RM3.20/share. Remember Daim’s reply when asked about the purchase, “If we don’t by it, nobody will.” And to make it attractive, remember they gave free handphone and calls with IPO. (First time in history).
And, are we surprised that AAB and his boys are doing similar things now? Divine intervention, maybe bt 8th Marhc tsunami really screwed up their plans.

The knee-jerk reactions of a coward
He is clearly petrified that Anwar will take over and open the books on the Mahathir years. The “Lingam Tape” Royal Commission of Inquiry recommendations clearly jolted him and convinced him that he had to take decisive action now…

Interesting questions being asked indeed and really need to be addressed by Dr M. But knowing him, of course he will be all defensive about it. His actions are like a baby crying out for attention, or indeed trying to cover up his own faults. But Mukhriz so called “betrayal”? Really smart strategy for an attack from all sides to topple Pak Lah. Now I guess the Mahathir family can work inside and outside umno each for their own family’s benefit.

Dear Sdr LKS…and everyone on this blogs,
Looks like the whole country is in a messy state……especially if the truth is revealed.
We, the ordinary folks do not know the whole truth……if it is true.
If what is being written on these threads and on some other popular blogs are true, then the whole country has been fooled for a long, long time.
I prefer to look ahead and not dig the whole `dirty’ past…..or our whole foundation will collapse.
Let us all look forward from March 8th.
China has yet to `criminalise’ Mao…..and Russia has yet to condemn Stalin, Lenin and others……the atrocities of mankind reaches to the Heavens.
I say…..put the past behind and move forward.
Question is….now that we have a good, strong opposition….and the ruling government is hopefully waking up to their senses [that you can't fool everyone for too long....50 years already]….can they [BN] put their house in order…..if not, by the next GE, we can be sure who will take over.
But for now, can AB hold on with all the cross-fire.
Whatever it is, stability is important….harmony too…..sensibility too…..let us be focused, guided, and calm.
Not shoot arrows at everyone, everywhere……including all our leaders so freely on these threads. Raise your points in a sensible, fair way…..or you will be just like the terrorists……verbal terrorists….on the net.

Finally, Dr M has got the attention of the local media – never have any TV stations or print media given him so much coverage! After this, the production houses should produce a film called ‘The Final Cries of Desperado’.
Some people just don’t know when to call it quits – they have to talk and talk and talk until they make a fool of themselves. What a shame this is our former PM! Pak Lah has conducted himself very well throughout the rantings of the Dr M – indeed a gentleman. And what’s this – Mukriz not leaving UMNO? I thot he’s the obedient son! Haha!

I was in Shanghai on Mon and was on a long queue to buy dumplings, sirens whaled across signaling the start of a three day period of mourning at 2.28pm, everybody just stopped and stood still to pay their respect.

TDM had a dream. He thought that he was the “Royal Seal” of UMNO. Without that seal, UMNO cannot be part of the government; so he thought. He threatened, he resigned and would not return unless PM AAB stands down. UMNO members fill Stadium Merdeka waiting to shake his hand to hand AAB over in exchange for the Seal.
He was awoken by the 6.1 tremor in Indonesia. Sanusi and hundreds of UMNO memebrs from Mabuk have resigned. Was he in his dream, he wondered. But he submitted his resignation letter to Tengku Adnan. Can he withdraw, would AAB allow the thorn back in the flesh, he wonders.

Please dont under estimate AAB and all his advisors, they were playing the same game as what TDM played before i.e. using the judiciary process to their advantage since now that RCI confirmed that there’s case to get the five or more to answer in the court!!!

1. Yes, it is a desperate way to try to save his skin. Lingam Video Clip is a final blow to bankrupt the old fox, TDM’s political credibility. TDM has no cause to fight for anything for the people except his own private agenda. The time is different now and TDM’s threat, cheat and playing with racial sentiment wouldn’t work anymore.
2. His resignation has very little impact as there is no just cause for relevant people to follow his call. Pak Lah would be happy that he has resigned. Those Umnoputra clowns only follow where power is. Who will follow a miserable 82 year old powerless silly erratic old man who may drop dead anytime? If he drops dead, those brainless coward clowns would immediately become sitting ducks. Who will take such kind of idiotic risk?
3. Yes, indeed it is! Umno is history. With the awakening of the Malaysian people awareness of the development of politics surprisingly, the opposition appears to have a cause to fight and a vision for a better Malaysia.

Some 2,000 UMNO members from Southern part of Petaling Jaya, Selangor had done likewise. Another 2,000 members from Kedah plan to submit a withdrawal letter within the next few days. These people who had left or will leave the party are ordinary members.

If not wrong, there are over 3million UMNO members. I would think if only 2million UMNO members leave the party, set up a new one, then it would render the UMNO-Baru (est.1988) slightly crippled.
The other 2million can then set up UMNO-Gen-Baru (est.2008)…man, which other political party in Malaysia has such colourful history to be so proud of? 1948, then 1988, now 2008…next 2048? Every 30-40 years there will be internal combustion in UMNO…Why? Simple: Greed & Power. Root of all Evil in the 20th-21st century worldwide.
It is also quite obvious that the UMNO-Baru that was set up by TDM & his kaki thinks that UMNO-Baru belongs to him; like a sole-proprietorship. What Malay-champions are they talking about? TDM only wants to be the only TUAN to all Malays, Chinese, Indians, Kadazans, Ibans, Dayaks, etc. He is a power crazy psycho who wants to be emperor of Malaysia. Think about it: the judiciary, the royalty, the police, the APs, Ops Lallang, etc etc. These were all in his plan. Many of us grew up admiring TDM but as we become more politically aware, the admiration has become smoke. One can do many good things to be remembered, but when one do just one bad thing…one will be eliminated.
Khir Toyo remarked that Ketuanan Rakyat equates to republic…he should have referred TDM was planning to do just that by the looks of it & more like dictatorship cum republic. Khir Toyo also probably need to go back to school. Rakyat means Malaysians. Malaysians mean Malays (being the majority), Chinese, Indians, other ethnic groups. Does Khir Toyo mean Rakyat does not include Malays? Too much botox screw up his otak. Malays being the majority are suppose to lead the country. Now can someone tell me the meaning of “lead”? Leading does not equate to ruling.
Anyway, the remaining 1million can either remain in BN or join PR. Wow, imagine all the BN components join PR. That would give it an over 2/3 majority. Any difference to Gerakan moving to BN after 1969? From opposition to alliance. Now it is alliance moving over to opposition, to form the NEW government.

Abdullah and Anwar are actually colluding to get at their former boss, Mahathir who has been very mean towards them and gave them hell. Now Mahathiu is tasting his own medicine. He is so frighten now that he left UMNO. He is very angry that UMNO can do this ( Lingamgate ) to him. He feels ashamed of his wrong doings. Now the law is after him. To avoid prosecution, he might leave the country. When Anwar becomes PM, it will be worst for him. So he better pray that Abdullah will be the PM for at the least another term. Don’t even think that a new PM will ever save him. It’s too late now.

Actually Mahathir has no more followers. It’s the media that played it up. There is no loss to UMNO and the country. He should have lived a comfortable life as a retiree. Instead he gets himself into a hotsoup every now and then. His son, Mukhriz, will now have to pay for his father’s sins. He will have to suffer inside UMNO youth. His father can no longer protect him.

Main reason for Dr M shocking resignation is because of Lingam scandal, period. That whole world knows. Just few days before the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the VK Lingam video clip has recommended that former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad be investigated.
Is is loud and clear, looks more like resignation in protest of Royal Commision’s decision last week on Lingam’s scandal.
Unfortunately the old man thru his cunning ways claimed that reason for his resignation was UMMO has failed to defence Ketuanan Melayu. Was UMMO failed to defence him and his cronies or otherwise?
AAB and all the non malays in this country is being blamed and he is the hero in defending the country constitution. Hope people in this country is wise enough not to fall into another Dr M’s blunder to stir more racial and political s*** out of the country.

Do not underestimate the strength of Pak Lah in the game plan of UMNO politics. Many critics like to downplay him as a sleeping beauty or Bodoh, However, he appears now to be the one who holds the trump card and yet look innocent.
Chinese has a saying, “In disguise as a pig but eat tiger” Obviously he has now played and slashed this cunning and crooked tiger of the country for twenty two years under his thumb and is toeing the line of balancing the power both within and outside UMNO.
Let’s recap what happen in this power drama.
1. How the hell that Pak Lah could hibernate in such a way that the then strong tiger, TDM could completely believe in him and appoint him as a successor? DPM was a very keen competitor but lost, even a clever person like Anwar also lost. Amazing, isn’t it?
2. Released Anwar and disintegrated the strong base of the TDM’s cronies Within UMNO. Obviously, TDM’s ex-cronies have been tamed and silenced like shivering mice. How many has responded the TDM’s call for resignation as a member.
3. To a certain extent, he let the Malaysian people believe that he is democratic in spite of the big loss of BN, he accepts it and tries to work a way out to restructure UMNO. He has tamed DPM very well such that the tiger TDM was so furious and scolded him a coward openly.
4. TDM’s power and influence is completely dissolved with a final straw of quitting UMNO. Now, Whatever UMNO does is theoretically nothing to do with TDM.
5. Who knows? TDM could be trial and put to jail, or drop dead of a heart attack! Feng Sui keeps in rotation, and now TDM has his day!
Chinese has a saying, “Big intelligence, but looks stupid”
#43 by MY VIEW on Thursday, 22 May 2008 - 1:58 pm
To futher reform and strengthen UMNO, the leaders must instil discipline in the party and punnish Muhkriz for his kurang ajar attitude. The leaders in UMNO have to show that they are serious in rebuilding UMNO and sideline those recalcitrants. As for Mahathir’s resignation, it is a blessing in disguised for UMNO. So UMNO can now focus on rebuilding and strengthening. Let Mahathir be punnished by the law for his misdeeds.

Obviously, if the judiciary system and the executive power is not separated, the prime minister has the power to manipulate the court procedure such as what TDM did. Those judges were manipulated in for the executive power as reflected in Lingam Tape. Remember justice not only needs to be done but also seen to be done. It is difficult to convince people now that Anwar went to jail that was not due to manipulation.
In the power struggle, the winner is a king and the loser is a thief. Once the power is lost, TDM and his cronies are thieves of the country coffer. They have to be investigated and brought to court, though late but better than never. That explains why the corrupted leaders in the third world country would never step down for the reason as explained. Usually it needs a coup d’etat to pull them down like in Africa. In our case, it is not too bad, officially TDM stepped down on his own will, but according to one of PKR’s report, it was a manipulation that he was pulled down. If it is a tradition to investigate those who had been in power, it is not that bad. Just to remind those in power to behave themselves while they are still in power, or otherwise…
Thinking that Pak Lah was tame and his cronies were strong, TDM chose him as a prime minister to be a puppet PM. However, he miscalculated as out of nowhere, the SIL came to the picture. Well, if one is an Oxford graduate, he won’t be very far off. If one thinks he is smart in manipulation, somebody else will be better. This is how the world is made; the hind wave is always pushing the front wave. I read it from somewhere that the SIL already said in his student day that he wanted to nail TDM some day.
By releasing Anwar was a smart move, as he is clever, an insider in the game, and the result is outstanding, TDM’s cronies, yes man clowns have been tamed and silenced. Apparently, Pak Lah appears to be a good man, a typical Malay gentleman, he never attacks his own party and own people and has established great resilience to attack whilst TDM [deleted] keep barking for his own agenda. After all, one needs time to unscrew a 22 years screw up.
The reason we don’t want to put in real names for these people as well as ours is obvious; we do not want to entangle ourselves in the law suit of defamation or seditious act or any shutting your mouth acts; We are just common people trying to make a living and at the same time we want to express our view which is our right anyway.

I really don’t understand what you mean by that? To run a country, is not just managing the judiciary, police etc… Needless to say there are so many other things to be done or changed especially after after the country have been mismanaged for 22 years.

Adoi, Tim, where you REALLY BEEN-ah?
If you are RPK, you can name names and be bold enough to mention the names in context of what you are revealing on the shenanigans in the corridors of power. Even then, RPK gets slapped with sedition act! If you are NOT RPK, you would be utterly dumb to use the real names, and even dumber to air your dissatisfaction about anything as ‘sensitive’ when you have little knowledge of the workings of the long arm of the law. Remember, it was TDM who said sometime ago that Malaysia is a ‘police state’?
You didn’t view the tape, you don’t read RPK, you don’t really follow the discussion threads in this blog and so far, all you have said is ‘…don’t make nonsensical statements…and ‘…be polite…’
…while you, as a citizen of this country, are being robbed blind by the system and even as such injustices as the Altantuya case unfolds before you. That’s only one. Care to know more?
Anyway, the names used here are quite amusing, really. Quite often, absolutely apt reflections of the people they refer to.
