		<description>Thank you Limkamput. You reinforce the negatives of that group of Chinese everywhere. Keep it up. 

As for Lee I have never sourced any material from his memoirs. I have reead them but am not interested in his views of himself in the context of the world.

I would rather the well researched, peer reviewed documented (including from his own records) thesis on the man by the likes of independent minds like David Barr and Rev. James Minchin (No Man is an Island). 

Lee would have sued thm if their accounts were in any way incorrect even in the slightest material particular. He has barred Minchin from visitng the island and nothing is yet known of his response to Bar&#039;s book on him.

Your idea of &quot;baseless&quot; is a compliment. If I were to accept your values and your ideas of &quot;fact&quot; which you espouse with your cohorts on this blog, I would be in trouble. 

The truth may not matter to you as you clearly have settled in your own dung like the proverbial &quot;pig in its own... proverbials&quot;. If it keeps you happy then good.

Lee was more than a mere translator. And if you are not offended by what he did in serving the Japanes who killed millions of your fellow Chinese during the war  (Nanjing) because they did and still consider the Chinese to be a lower form of life then that too is fine by me.

It also serves the point made in the GRK article: that there are Chinese (you clearly are one of them) who would do anything for money including subjugating, humiliating, drugging, pimping on, murdering and selling their own. 

Again if that suits you and your morality it does not the morality and the aspirations of a very large but not as vocal majority not only in Malaysia but around the world.

You may scream all you want. You are in a minority no one wants. Denigrading Mahathir in this sense is a blessing and a compliment to the man. Who after all in their right minds would want a compliment from someone who fits the category to which you belong? That would be an insult.

		<description>And what have you chosen other than baseless vendetta for reasons best known to yourself.  Out of two volumes of his memoirs, you could only highlight his work as a radio translator for the Japanese military during Japanese occupation. Look, you are unlike Wain, you have to do better than that.  Who is elevating Lim, Anwar etc?  We only want and we love to denigrate Mamakthir.</description>

		<description>If there was anything factual about Mahathir in Wain&#039;s book, Wain would have at least placed it in context. For that his eresearch failed to go to the core of all that was at the base of his allegations.

Comming from his base at Coward&#039;s castle in Singapore, Wain a paid think tank operative pacifying a dying Lee Kuan Yew (now that his wife is a vegetable) sets fire to a reputation Lee could not in reality match.

Lee wanted the Malays to come crawling back to him when he quit the federation. His backers include SR Nathan who was a Spy for the Australian Security Intelligence Organzation (ASIO) outed by investigative journalist Brian Toohey, and his other guardians in people like Blades (of the British Special Branch) and Alex Josey of MI5.

The fact that as Chinese you still see someone of merit in Lee inspite of his betrayal of Chinese to the Japanese as a Japanese intelligence agent in world war 2, you deserve all the treatment you get in the hands of your enemies. You are a people without any dignity or self esteem when it comes to money.

Wain can write for you.

Remember this:

Denegrading Mahathir does not in any way serve to elevate the positions of Lim Kit Siang, Anwar or Badawi. They have been nothings and will always remain so into the timeless tunnels of history.

An all the swearing of the typical Chinese intellectual genius of those of you who choose invectives instead of substance to argue your point only serves to reinforce the stereotyping of your types.

		<description>While in power he said no to outside interference but why now he needed it.It shows only one concret thing,the truth .He&#039;s afraid of his own shadow which is going after him wherever he goes.He knows his own &quot;ketuanan Melayu&quot; would not shadow him but now needed the western umbrella he once hated most. He&#039;s a flipper/flogger and a joker too.Look, China,now claimed another first ,the fastest train in the world in about 30 years since opening it up to the world.Malaysia&#039;s 53 years, 22 years under TDM,all we been hearing are corruptions and more first record breaking mega ringgit corruptions.Why can&#039;t TDM,PM,DPM get it.The whole world is watching us,aren&#039;t they not ashame.I pray that one day the bright sunlight shines through their tough tick face skins to awakening them to admitting their misdeeds and abandoning all corruptions hence malaysia can go forward to create many genuine &quot;firsts&quot; and prospers along with the rest of our neighbours and other countries in this globalised world</description>

		<description>Mahamamak hates AAB as much as he hates the son-in-law. The latter stopped his son from becoming the Youth Chief, and to be in line to succeed Najib. The warriors in UMNO supreme council love and hate one another as much as the princes during days of absolute monarch. Only those who are outside the group would declare their true feelings, especially when they are have-beens.

Mahamamak wants now to be known as a racist, so that his blood lineage would not be challenged. Trouble is we saw racial communism since NEP, and mamak is communist head of government as he acted as such during his time. He can count on the buildings which any fool could have them built, with Petronas funds. He moulded the parasitice mindset of the people he pretended to lead. Since then, Malaysia is destined to be a failed state, because the majority believe in their unjust entitlements.</description>

		<description>By the way,why is Maha very concern to implicate Badawai?And also why he needs outside Royal comm.and outside Transparency international to look into the 100billion scandal? Is he not trusting the local good for nothing macc,judiciary,pdrm and the civil society?When a c4 was targeted to blowup your backside now you are afraid.If you are really god fearing and true muslim, face the truth and come out clean, otherwise you are  going to carry the curse till your generation behind will definatly perish.</description>

		<description>&quot;Do it now, otherwise I have this inkling that politicians will always try to protect their own kind. Yes, the present protects the past, and the future protects the present.&quot;  (limkamput)

limkamput has pointed out the core value of basic covenant between two cunning politicians of the same common interest to share among themselves -- you protect me and I will pay you back in equal protection as you need!  If Najib is to allow the release of Barry Wain&#039;s book on Mahathir&#039;s biography, then that will most likely trigger an internal rifle within Umno between Najib and Mahathir for Mahathir will hate Najib for the breach of covenant.

Perhaps it is much more practical for us to get an internet version of the book than waiting for the release of the physical book from Custom&#039;s warehouse!</description>

		<description>He even sweetened his welcome by insisting that such a commission should not be made up of government nominees, but should instead have as members “impeccable people including foreigners and members of Transparency International.” - Kit
==============================================

It is pretty obvious that Tun D M already had some kind of &quot;insurance policy&quot; in place if he dared throw such an arrogant challenge at Kit.</description>

		<description>Barry Wain is too conservative in estimating the loss. If we consider all the irreparable damages he did to our institutions, systems and procedures, I think he burned everything that was in Malaysia.  

BY the way, when is Barry Wain&#039;s book going to be released?  Why talk about RCI, suing and challenging the accuracy of the book when most of us have not read the book yet.  May be the book is too benign. Someone may have to write a tougher and more accurate version after this.  

Will PR openly declare that they will hold all past leaders accountable once they come into power? Do it now, otherwise I have this inkling that politicians will always try to protect their own kind.  Yes, the present protects the past, and the future protects the present.</description>

		<description>It is just unseemly and gross to see an old person who come comes to term with his faults at the end of his life.  Why do anyone else have to deal with it when its ALL his problem?  These kind of behaviour just discourages kindness and magnamity among people. 

The most unforgivable thing about Mahathir is that he continues to destroy the fabrics of our societies, the natural good that should have been preserved rather than taken for granted, exploited and abuse too conveniently.  Its the very thing that Tunku, the most magnaimous of all of us, could not forgive him for what he done to his beloved Malays even at his death bed.</description>

		<description>I think Barry Wain had many reasons to say that Dr M burnt 100 billion RM.

One is the exchange rate with Sing dollars, as Dr M always wanted to compare with LKY.

When he took over in 1981, the exchange rate was roughly 1:1.  When he left in 2003, the exchange rate is 1:2.5   What more to say, Dr M?</description>

		<description>Dr M will at last claim that what he did is
&quot;üntuk agama, bangsa dan negara&quot;

Only the Utusans and the Umnoputras will believe him.

		<description>This is 1 simple way to prove his innocence--- Just scan the entire book and post it in his website, then refute the allegations one by one, with the necessary documents as proof. Then only can the rakyat say, &quot;We are proud of our ex-PM&quot;.

 Otherwise, he will be regarded as a liar and a thief even after he has gone to meet his Maker. History has a long memory lasting thousands of years.</description>

...He questioned the spending of RM 270 billion (US$78.5 billion) of Petronas funds during Abdullah&#039;s five-year term in office.... Mahathir did not include on his website a request to investigate the reign of Najib Tun Razak, the current prime minister, who as defense minister was involved in a series of massive cost overruns and questionable military purchases, including the US$1 billion purchase and/or lease of three French submarines, which earned his best friend, Abdul Razak Baginda, a €114 million &quot;commission.&quot;</description>

		<description>He even sweetened his welcome by insisting that such a commission should not be made up of government nominees, but should instead have as members “impeccable people including foreigners and members of Transparency International.” - LKS

------

Yes, of the &quot;impeccable&quot; people that come to the mind of Mahathir are his great pals, Robert Mugabee of Zimbabwe, General Khin Nyunt of Burma, Thaksin Shinawatra of Thailand, Mahmou Ahmadinejad of Iran, Muhammad Gaddafi of Libya and Sitiveni Rabuk of Fiji. 

All these people are made of the same mould and character and they will agree that Mahathir has the stamp of impeccable quality (100% pure gold quality) in this privilege class.</description>
