You can deride ridicule and call him names but as a Malay I will not forget Dr M contributions to the country. He expanded education in the country and tried his best to get the Malays to learn English and maths and science . He expanded MARA in a big way and lifted ITM into a university ; he built infrastructures like ports ; Penang bridges and the highways and Putrajaya. Many many more. The manufacturing and industrialisation of the country was initiated by him. If not for him Felda and Felcra will be unheard of . He did much to uplift the Malays Ok he made mistakes ; he destroyed the judiciary ; others took advantage of him and corruption was rampant but he created wealth .Those who called him Mr Senile are children of the main beneficiaries of his policies. They are an ungrateful bunch. But the Malays will remember him . Let’s see

Have you ever thought that, any tom dick and harry who manages to grasp that highest position might be able to secure all of that? Is it so rocket science? Yes, he managed to modernised our country, but at a cost of a future because he did not 1st solidify our economy footing to sustain for a long time. Unlike our neighbour Singapore, even after LKY retire and deceased, the country continued to prosper.

Put an end to Dr M’s venom and lies

Action should be taken against the former prime minister over his incendiary statements which stab decency in the back.

I read Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s latest tweets and watched the former prime minister’s recent press conferences. Why on earth does he talk with so much hatred and lies? It is unbelievable.
Who told him people want the name of Malaysia changed? Or that the “other races“ wanted to take over? Please give us evidence.

A bigger question is why do the Malaysian media give a platform for a “has been” politician to spew venom when he should have retired. Why encourage such hatred and bigotry when it’s obvious he is dying for attention?

I suppose the current government is concerned about taking to court a man who is nearly 100 years old. He could end up in jail and be turned into a martyr.

But we should not let age be a deciding factor. If someone spews venom, it has to be dealt with.

You cannot let Mahathir and Abdul Hadi Awang for that matter – who has been blaming non-Muslims for various things – to keep stabbing decency and civility in the back.

The government must not tolerate such behaviour on account of their age.

Why put at risk the happiness of over 30 million peace-loving Malaysians just to “save face” of two politicians?

If this is not insanity, I don’t know what is.  FMT
