Pitting a BN elder against another

When we review this square upon a Malaysian Insider yesterday, we wasn't surprised. The ubiquitous election is near. Pitting a BN elder opposite an additional would be a great way to criticise a enemy. It's an aged tactic: a Americans do it in Iraq, pitting a Sunnis as well as Shiites opposite a single another.

I review upon and, well, looks similar to we owe my friends during The Malaysian Insider half an apology: It wasn't their original article. (Can't blame a pro-Pakatan portals for lapping up a story, see Mkini and MToday. It has left viral upon blogosphere, too).

Eight years after Dr Mahathir Mohamad willingly stepped down as our PM, a country's media still perform people who take potshots during him. It is something we find hard to understand. Why can't they let Dr M retire in peace?

When Abdullah Ahmad Badawi was PM, his media ! barons d emonized Dr Mahathir. But that's since there was bad blood between a two. That's past. Those barons have even apologized to Dr M.

Dr Mahathir may be vicious sometimes of Najib Razak but there is no bad blood between them as well as Dr M has never openly attacked Najib. In fact, he has defended Najib's policies when they come underneath attack.

Samy Vellu contingency realize which he lost since he was no longer popular. Blaming Dr M for his 2008 defeat is lame. He was powerless then. Abdullah was a absolute a single as well as Samy Vellu had Abdullah's trust as well as support. At a time, Dr Mahathir did not even have a blog. The newspaper quoted Samy Vellu as saying which Dr Mahathir had incited Malays in Sungei Siput not to vote him in a 2008 GE. Think, guys! The Tun could not even win a UMNO G7 election during Kubang Pasu level in Sep 2006, so what change did he have over Sg Siput voters?
