The Malaysian Insider

tun mahathir, of course we know you were never sincere, you old basket!

Then allow me to suggest that Tun Mahathir and his son Mukhriz, leave UMNO and start a multiracial political party. Start afresh. Maybe the country needs zero based political accounting now more than ever.

Politicians are not only insincere, they are the most corrupt. If you see a snake and a politician blocking your way, kill the politician first and feed him/her to the snake!

Well, at least you still got some conscience to admit that Politicians are not sincere, good on you Tun

Dr Mahathir knows what is politics.
He should know, he was the longest serving prime minister in our country.

Two party system is health.
The people know that.

The latest move by Umno to talk to Pas.
No problem. As the Malays want them to share, to dialogue, to explore possiblities.
This is about the Malay agenda - why not?

So this is the scenario.
As Malays emphasise the importance of Malay unity.
Other races in Malaysia should do the same.

Chinese with Chinese.
Indians with Indians.
Dayaks with Dayaks.

Malay Muslims will emphasise ketuanan Melayu.
That means other bumiputras are left out.
Take the cue - non-Malay bumiputras must seek unity also.
The Dayaks must be united under your own banner.
And since you are the majority in East Malaysia, seek ketuanan Dayaks.

As Umno-Pas talk about unity government.
All others are excluded.
That means each man must take his own.
This is the policy and this policy is shaping up real fast.

Forget about 1Malaysia.
It is a gimmick lah.
It is actually 1Melayu.

And when you start talking about 1Malaysia as treating all Malaysians as equal citizens.
The Malays will get very nervous about losing their privileges.
They will talk about losing the country to aliens.
They will talk about themselves as pribumi - longer and older than bumiputra.
They will talk about the old civilisations found in Kedah and Kelantan - how long Malays have been here.
They will talk about Malays as one speak the language, a Muslim and who observes the traditions of Malays...Yet Malays are all different, the Malays in Kelantan - their language and traditions can be different from one who is from Malacca.

Dr Mahathir says Opposition is necessary.
But the lines of parties will change.
Political shiftings are taking place.

Let the Malays form their unity government.
And all the non-Malays form their unity party.

In Malaysia, it will be Malays vs non-Malays.
Non-Malays here include all the non-Malay bumiputras - the Dayaks, Kadazans, all the natives and Orang Asli.

If Malays in their emphasis ketuanan Melayu asserts they rule, then all non-Malays as citizens which is enshrined in the federal constitution must be united to form the Opposition.

If you think the idea above is extreme.
Then one should think the consequence of unity government by Umno and Pas.
The political shifting is natural.
As Charles Darwin believed on the survival of the fittest.
As Malays assert, non-Malays must seek to survive.

This is not a threat.
This is what Awang Selamat talks about.
Mari lah kita renungkan.

If you agree this could be a political reality if Umno and Pas joined to form unity government.
Please vote here.

Not only an opposition. Any govt needs a credible and effective opposition to check and balance govt of the day. TDM can talk like a reasonable man now but when he was the PM he put many who opposed him uder ISA so that he hardly had any effective opposition to check his excesses. Umno had political hegemony over the country then. Even coalition partners in BN were all yes men to Umno. Today the situation remains little changed.

Even if PR takes over the fed govt, BN must play the role of an effective and credible opposition. We must not allow one political party ever again to dominate the politics of our country. A two party system is a very good alternative or at least a two coalition system. Even in Spore they realised this and introduce sparring partners to keep their MPs on their toes.

For democracy to flourish dissenting views are necessary; alternative ways of solving problems are also necessary. Healthy debates are like brainstorming sessions to find the best possible solutions to the country problems.

Dr Mahathir - WeLL said........

From day one the BN has not change. Whatever coalition it bring up, it will be definately along the racial line. Example, PAS and UMNO - now what happen to the partners in PR and BN. All not important Change fast UMNO or else it will be change.

Of course, Opposition was (and is) necessary, otherwise how to pull off the Operation Lallang?

When top politicians are in power they used a different lingo, and after retirement they finally speak some human language but still, we unsure whether they are sincere or not?

"Mirror, mirror, what do I see during my tenure?"

** Answer:

Corruption, dysfunctional coalition;
Draconian laws;
Paralysed Legislature;
Diseased judiciary;
Impotent Ministerial backbone, self-serving/arrogant/racist;
Political Hegemony of warlords and own brand of justice within own party.
Etc, etc

Opposition being ridiculed, jailed and bullied during 23 years and now, suddenly they are important!

Now he is no longer PM, he can talk ....... He should have been sacked from UMNO long time ago.

If not for anything else, it is for this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyCqHI2HqoU that we need a strong opposition in a two-party system. We need strong checks and balances to ensure there is no longer any abuse of power. Now it is the abuse of power by UMNO and BN but in the future it could be the abuse of power by the Pakatan Raykat. For us to have a vibrant and thriving democracy of the people, by the people, for the people, we need to have at least two strong political parties that will serve to check the performance of each other.

It is time to end UMNO and the BN's abuse of power. It is time to put an end to police brutality and corruption. It is time for Najib to show us how sincere he is by bringing to justice those police officers who have taken the law into their own hands.

So, the father of evil has admitted that he is insincere? about time.

What you mentioned just sound good only, but the B=end speaker doesn't allow any of the opposition leader to voice out their view, otherwise they will kick out from the speak. Even the component party are not allow to voice out their view. See how many pity guys had been suspended from attend the Parliament even without their pays. Suppose now is the right move for us to kick out those defectors once and for all. Since after 50 years, nothing learn well but only more and more "buaya" See is believing.

"The Dayaks must be united under your own banner.
And since you are the majority in East Malaysia, seek ketuanan Dayaks."

Eh Why not? Since everyone wants to be tuan.
Ketuanan Dayak!
Ketuanan Iban!
ketuanan Orang Asli
and ketuanan anybody who wants to be tuan.

I can still remember the senile old man mentioned during his rule that we don't need opposition party in the country. Now he is saying we need one !!! Is his brain degenerating that fast or is he having double tongues !!!

TELL me which politicians are not selfish? It is a question of leadership and performance! Even in England they are in a dilemma now.

Tun,
Sejak Merdeka, tak pernah UMNO/BN menjadi pihak Pembangkang. biarlah pilihan raya umum 13, 14 dan yang ke 15; dan yang berterusan UMNO/BN jadikan pihak pembangkang. Biarlah UMNO/BN mempelajari bagaimana memperkuatkan peranan pihak pembangkang demi kebaikan rakyat.
Not until you unlearn and learn, necessary as reflection of ruling parties yourselves; you would not deem to say you are qualified to rule this country better. Make more sense to you???

Yes, everyone knows you were once the greatest devilish PM who hoodwinked this country for 22 years. If u hadn't steppped down then, PR would have changed the country then.

Since you are already retired, you should keep your thoughts to yourself.

unbelievable from a man who wants to throw everybody who said anything or has any intention to say against BN/UMNO to jail

What you actually meant was that so long the opposition is less than 30%.

Hello low Mr Tun the best thing to do now, please do not open your mouth.
They say the fish will be out of trouble when it knows when to shut its' mouth.

Wah, TDM now can really see the future.
He is basically saying that BN is finished and hope that BN will still continue as an opposition party!
Of course, now that PR is in the driver's seat and Najis will be the last BN warlord PM.
But I doubt BN will even survive as a credible opposition party. Perhaps may be PAS when they are sacked from PR if they persist with their hollow interpretation of their holy book sans Tok Guru.

insincere? come on, that's far too below understatement.

One day he bashes the opposition, another he bashes the ruling coalition. Now he takes a step in the middle.

Tun Dr. M is one volatile bugger.
