A inhabitant news every day had as the front page inform the story with the headline title "Keep him sealed up". I am certain that my Barisan Nasional friends have been commencement to think of this resolution in apply oneself of the former budding apportion as the flow of half-baked or meaningless suggestions as well as proposals from Dr Mahathir Mohamad continues unabated.
Far from being an asset, Dr. Mahathir is seen by most as the liability to Umno as well as the Barisan. Although some recent analysts have argued that Dr Mahathir might wish to contest the next elections as well as 'save' Umno, I am certain the election group advising Prime Minister Najib sees it unequivocally differently.
Short of locking him up, this group of strategists must be unfortunate for ideas upon how they can muzzle Dr Mahathir as he continues his one-man show around the nation reminding the nation upon how they badly need him back in power; as well as how common Najib Razak has been (compared to Dr Mahathir) in his stewardship of the country.
Not all of Dr Mahathir's rants concentration upon lambasting the Malays for their stupidity as well as ignorance. Not all of his verbal assaults have been destined during the Malaysian citizens for unwell to appreciate the certain aspects of Umno rule as well as his own purpose in Malaysian politics. Other open appearances as well as speeches by him have an opaque agenda that can price the nation dearly if careful courtesy is not paid to them as well as questions have been not publicly raised as to their ultimate hidden objective.
One of the most recent of such open appearances was in Perak in that he expressed his certainty that internal shipbuilde! rs have been able of office office building vast vessels, together with warships. The occasion of this remarkable exaggerate was during his revisit to during the shipyard owned by NGV Tech in Kampung Sijangkang in that he was accompanied NGV Tech executive chairman Zulkifli Shariff as well as Chief of Navy Abdul Aziz Jaafar.
According to the Bernama report, he is reported to have said: "I am confident NGV Tech is able of office office building vast vessels as well as warships as it is the worldly association entrusted with office office building dual Royal Malaysian Navy precision ships by the joint try with the South Korean company".
Local association boleh
Now everybody knows that although you might shout out the inhabitant cry of 'Malaysia Boleh', it is unequivocally the foreign joint try partners of internal companies that have been obliged for the costly hi-tech fight toys purchased by the Defence Ministry, be it airplanes, helicopters, submarines or warships.
Our purpose in all of these is simply as assemblers of the worldly hardware as well as software that have been made elsewhere. Some low technology components might be made in the nation though these comprise usually the little proportion of the total contract.
Let us additionally not dont think about that the early negotiations for the scandalous scandal surrounding the Scorpene purchase from the French took place during Dr Mahathir's time as budding minister, as well as that the earliest commission payments paid out to Malaysian middlemen were given out in 2000, 3 years before Dr Mahathir left his post.
Dr Mahathir additionally knows of the lack of genius in the counterclaim industry as well as the dependence upon the technologically advanced nations, together with South Korea. He is no fool. But there is the method to his apparent madness.
His expression of certainty in the country's! ability to set up the own warships, just as he had certainty in Proton's ability to manufacture the Malaysian car, is utterly simply to assistance run the Malaysian naval chief to commend that warships have been necessary to protect the nation's waters. It is additionally to reassure Malaysians that you already have the internal association that is ready, pacific as well as able to set up these warships.
Gracing the association occasions
It is important to note that this is not the initial time Dr Mahathir has appeared during an NGV occasion. In February 2011, he had appeared during the stipulate signing ceremony held to seal NGV Tech's collaboration with Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co Ltd to erect the dual 75.9-metre precision vessels for the Royal Malaysian Navy, each costing some-more than RM140 million.
There could be other occasions in that he might have been benefaction during NGV functions that might not have been publicly disclosed.
Incidentally, NGV Tech's worldly work specifications crop up to be to coupling together the opposite parts of the vessel after they have been transported to Malaysia. Such is the hi-tech expertise.
One wonders why Dr Mahathir is putting so much time as well as bid in helping NGV Tech do the lobbying as well as marketing. Surely, the ex-prime apportion has improved things to do as well as some-more noble causes to assistance with his time than crop up to be the salesman upon behalf of NGV Tech.
Enemies have been within
Besides regard during this new growth in Dr Mahathir's career what most would see as functioning as the troops lobbyist that is unequivocally bad for his as well as the inhabitant picture (the South Korean company's leaders must be shouting behind the backs during the internal hi-tech capabilities), I am additionally disturbed that these costly troops warships that Dr Mahathir is touting for the naval chief to cruise buying will get into the counterc! laim buy ing priorities as well as become the reality.
In my view, there is no justification for the enormous counterclaim bill as well as further purchase of costly troops planes, ships, submarines as well as other instruments of fight that has already price us hundreds of billions of ringgit. Besides being situated in the pacific neighbourhood of Asean, you already have some-more than enough troops genius to understanding with whatever external threats there might be. In fact, the enemies have been not from outside though especially inside of the nation as can be seen from the rapidly sharpening crime as well as worldly white-collar crooks ripping off the Malaysian treasury.
Dr Mahathir likes to see himself as the peacenik compared to leaders such as Bush as well as Blair whom he has labelled as "war criminals". In advocating for the further militarization of the nation as well as acting as the super salesman for what most see as internal rent seeking companies, he is not usually further blemish his bequest though additionally strengthening the sense that he is the hypocrite.
