Tun Dr. Mahathir's fears


For someone who had ruled Malaysia as PM for 22 years (or 40% out of 55 years given independence in 1957), it is startling (or is it unsurprising?) that he is disturbed over a probability of antithesis Pakatan Rakyat's feat in a subsequent General Election. Many hold as well as would straightforwardly agree that Dr. Mahathir ruled as de facto dictator given no minister in his cupboard dared to question his decisions.

Offhand, personally you can think of mega projects like brand new sovereign capital, Putrajaya, that was created out of rural land into ostentatious supervision office buildings, man-made lakes so that beautiful bridges could be set up over them, largest roundabout round a hill, as well as so on; mint airport, KLIA that appears under-used compared to a low-cost counterpart, LCCT; Sepang F1 circuit that is losing a appeal; Petronas Twin Towers in KL built upon former competition march land that helped his associate done a bundle, enough to set up his own building subsequent to it; Proton inhabitant automobile project that costed our nation dearly (until new privatisation) as well as still effectively forcing automobile buyers to compensate most some-more given of tall import as well as excise duties to protect a survival; as well as so on.

One thing you can be certain is that it was at a time when Petronas was producing oil as well as earning most revenues that accounted for almost half a nation's yearly. That Petronas is usually under obligation to a PM meant a accounts were shrouded in privacy as well as most of a revenues unaccounted for. Recently, Tun had countered that his successor, Abdullah Badawi had used up some-more during his most shorter duration as PM. But then again, you are articulate about billions of Ringgit. When someone was entirely in charge of such outrageous amounts of money, a ambiguous procurement p! rocess t hat benefited a political party, a leaders as well as comparison cronies would have ensured outrageous benefits to a decision-making PMs, either or not you could find a trails heading to them. But being Malaysia, as well as Umno being a usually political party running a nation given day one, crime in a typical clarity had been lonesome up (with a assistance of Acts of Parliament like OSA, ISA as well as Sedition Act) as well as treated with colour as excusable over a years. All a institutions meant to check as well as carry out were debasing to a PM as well as effectively 'closed one eye as well as shut a other' when it mattered. So it is unbelievable when you read about a overly uncomplicated points referred to by a great Tun in his blog...
