Malaysia as 21st.April 2009.
Mahathir is back, after Pak Lah gave up his premiership due to pressures from all corners inside out. The loudest critic came from Mahathir himself and now with Najib is at the helm, Mahathir is back in the limelight. Who is the actual Prime Minister now? I am confused. Mahathir wants the crooked bridge to be reinstalled and the teaching of English for mathematics and science to continue in spite of several objections from all quarters. Najib had in mind not to participate in the Penanti bye election but Mahathir insisted and he wants to lead the BN pact to wrestle the seat from Anwar political party. Mahathir really hate Anwar’s gut. The rakyat is watching where Najib is heading to. Mahathirsm???
Mahathir is a figure always associate with figures. He started with 2M. Mahathir and Musa but Musa resigned. Mahathir ordered Musa to attack Memali and at the same time Mahathir left for China. Musa got the blame for the fiasco. Later Mahathir introduced 3M. Menulis, membaca dan mengira. That policy was quietly forgotten and replaced with teaching of mathematic and science subjects in English. Only the 2 subjects but he failed to emphasis on teaching of the English language itself. If the command of English is poor how in the hell you want to teach mathematics and science in English? After he retired, and Pak Lah became the Prime Minister another figure troubled Mahathir, the guys at 4th floor. He said the 4th floor boys ran the government and KJ, Pak Lah son in law became his bitter enemy. The feud was so bad that KJ was not even considered any cabinet post in Najib administration. On the other hand, Mahathir’s son who lost in the UMNO Youth Chief election was appointed as Deputy Minister of Trade. Who is the real Prime Minister now? The rakyat is thinking probably the nation is having 2 Prime Ministers or even 3. Who knows? Najib is indebted to the old man. Mahathir could easily finish him off when Najib was the Menteri Besar of Pahang. Instead Mahathir being a smart manipulator used his trump card to lure Najib to support him during the Mahathir/ Tengku Razaleigh fight for the UMNO Presidency, otherwise, Pulau Tioman legenda would be made public. The end result, Mahathir ruled for 22 years.
Mahathir used to say, Melayu mudah lupa (Malays easily forgot). Sorry Sir, this Melayu always remember.
