argh..
it's been months this feud has been going on... we as malaysian citizens wonder when will the two leaders put a halt on this issue.. one is a former leader who made malaysia where we are today... and his successor was supposed to clean up his mess of cronism and political transparency...
so what transpired during the previous umno election which brought so much hope to us citizens were now cast into the shadows of doubt and of course gone up in smoke...
i have to say that when pak lah was elected as the PM, it wasn't Dr M's 1st choice.. to me i feel that Dr M's first choice was still the very then vibrant anwar ibrahim... this is my point of view... if not for anwar ibrahim lacking in patience to take over the govt, i would safely be sure that he'll be our next leader... betw anwar and pak lah.. i'm still a very much anwar supporter...
those days when i blindly stood for anwar ibrahim and his keadilan party which at that time trying to prevent BN from having 2/3 majority in the elections.. maybe it's because of anwar's passion to fight and put his stand on mahathir's act of cronism at that time.. but he sold the country's secrets and i guess that was too much for a leader to do... you can't wash dirty linen in public.. BN however managed to secure the 2/3 and ever since, keadilan now is no more than a 'independent' party status.. the BA stand during the last election could only manage to secure a couple of seats compared to the superior BN which featured pak lah as the leader... what seemed to be inspiring in the beginning now seems to have taken a turn for the worse....
ok.. to me, mahathir has every right to make a stand and question the actions of pak lah.. why can't he do that? he's still a rightful member of umno and of course, he still does get invited to speak at any general assembly umno organises... why then the outburst?
to me i feel that it's hitting out at pak lah's control now the situation of politiking in the umno govt itself.. khairy jamaluddin is making a mole hill out of an ant hill and he DOESN'T HAVE the slightest courage to meet our former PM face to face to talk it out.. Dr M has been an active politician since his days with umno even when khairy was still a toddler.. sometimes when a former national leader expresses his grieviences over a certain matter, we as young aspiring politicians should look into the big picture itself.. Dr M is still very influential among the businessman in malaysia especially the chinese... so what if he has his own cronies? did we slump so badly in our economy that we eventualy had to turn to IMF to bail us out?
NO...
did our economy became as bad as indonesia and thailand where coup can be staged to oust the ruling PM?
NO...
so what wrong is it for Dr M to hit out at pak lah? i feel that the situation now is a little touchy to handle for even pak lah himself... he's trying to make things more transparent, but things are jsut not going his way... transparency was the way to go during his last election and he promises to do that.. eradicate bribery in all level of politics... however, it's easier said than done... i could still remember his promises when he was being elected as the new PM...
of course, Dr M has every right to be upset about the current situation.. the bridge case, the selling of MV augusta for 1 euro... but then come to think of it, now spore doesn't want to cooperate in the bridge thing and augusta has be in the red figures for the past 3 years.. who wants to keep an ailing company not generating money? like MCA selling off their stake at nanyang siang pau..
maybe pak lah doesn't agree with Dr M's ideas all this while and couldn't do anything until the former premier has left the reign of presidenship... then he sets his own agenda and ways he feels is right to do so.... mahathir's a MBBS graduate.. badawi's a graduate in er.. econs or something like that.. when it comes to leading a country... i just wonder does the decision making skills come from what tertiary education background the leader comes from? i know that each PM has many aids who will share their thoughts on the country's development but then in the end, it's the very decision of the PM himself who will set the bottom line of the country's progress forward...
SO WHO'S RIGHT AND WHO'S WRONG?
back to square one? some might say even when the premier is no more in power, he should quit politics all together... go shoot some 18 holes somewhere... but mind u, mahathir can't hit any golf ball.. he's total nut when it comes to golf... so i guess he channels his energy on what the current situation is... it's like Minister Mentor of Spore.. i could still remember when mahathir slammed lee kuan yew for not stepping down altogether from the political scene after goh chok tong submitted his reign to lee hsien loong... LKY came up with MM post to keep himself in the political scene.. mahathir questioned why LKY still wants to be part of the politic fray of spore...
i guess mahathir answered the question himself.... cuz there are things that deosn't go eye to eye with the progress of the country during his reign and during the current PM's reign... he's just there to advice and to criticise when he feels it right to... it's hard to let go something that you've put so much effort into and let it go to smoke.. (like the bridge case for that matter)
chinese businessman doing well pak lah says... of course wat.. we are being thrown into the devil's pit without any help from the govt.. but we still managed to do well despite having no help from whosoever.. unlike the bumiputera's companies, they get this subsidy and that subsidy from govt but we have none..
NONE..
so our success comes from the very hard work blood, sweat and tears of the respective chinese businessman in our country... speaking of fairness, one politician also said that it's not wrong to help and give aid to the bumiputera's company... we have resulted to no choice but to fight for our very own survival here... mahathir's outburst has got some point in it.. i just wonder when only the situation can be more balanced when badawi goes home and does post mortem on the current issue..
Dr M has warned that if nothing is done, there will be a chance that the ruling govt now will lose the support of businessmen in our country... i do agree with him on this issue... business is the way to go ever since globalisatino has been embraced by our country... business keeps the money rolling and thus strengthens our economy and our ringgit as well... if you take away the rice bowl of so many businessmen around here, we will flee to other countries to do our business and when we become successful, the govt then begs us to return by giving us minor perks and incentives to lure us back... who will then return when you do not offer a helping hand at the very beginning? speaking of 'biting the finger that feeds you'... i wonder whether the 'finger that feeds' ever existed in the beginning...
this post is the very thoughts and personal idea of this blog himself.. it doesn't mean to hurt any feelings of any politicians nor show any support to any political party... i believe in such a democratic country, we must be able to express our feelings to heard..
from AP case to zakaria's case... doesn't this ring a bell to your minds now how the situation is becoming?
signing off... to those reading, your very ideas on the current matter is most welcomed...
p/s: initially my ambition was to become a politician.. those who know me long enuf know of this fact.. it was my mum who psychoed me into medical school.. i'm not complaining.. just that once in awhile, i do still have the urge to write about politics...=P
