The alternative frightens Dr M

Once again, the former premier warns Malaysians not to play with their destiny by choosing by casting votes for Anwar Ibrahim as well as Pakatan Rakyat.

PETALING JAYA: Dr Mahathir Mohamad, once celebrated as the idealist who placed Malaysia on the world map as well as right away cursed as the arch designer of the rot in this nation, agrees which Barisan Nasional has been in power for too long.

But the alternative, warned the former premier who reigned for 22 years, is frightening.

His detractors explain which the awaiting of Anwar Ibrahim, the the single nemesis whom Mahathir has been unable to expel in to the domestic wilderness, marching in to Putrajaya is the sour pill for the medical doctor-turned-politician to swallow.

And so the 87-year-old former premier has strike the campaign route with enthusiasm as well as seizes any opportunity to demonise Anwar as well as the bloc which the latter spearheads.

In an talk with Mingguan Malaysia published over the weekend, Mahathir once again poured ridicule on his former heir-apparent, reminding Malaysians of the perils which await them in choosing by casting votes for change.

"Many say which the Alliance-Barisan Nasional has been in power too long. we would agree. we believe in not overstaying one's welcome. But we am not so certain right away whether this should apply in any circumstance.

"It is because the pick to BN is frightening. It is led by the man who is spooky with becoming budding minister, no matter how. we had wondered why he assimilated Umno instead of PAS. Now we know. He would do anything to spin budding minister," he said.

"B! y joinin g Umno instead of PAS, which had never constructed the budding minister, he could spin budding apportion simply by climbing the ladder of the leadership. And so immediately on joining Umno he contested for the in front of of arch of Umno Youth. Then he went for the vice-presidency as well as then the deputy president's post. The next pierce was to overthrow the boss as well as spin the budding minister. It was all really simple.

"But the budding apportion [Mahathir] did not appear to wish to go. And so he began an subterraneous campaign to demonise the budding minister. The rest, as they say, is history," he added, referring to the fallout between Anwar as well as him some-more than the decade ago.

Mahathir warned which both Anwar as well as the "hopcotch pick up of Pakatan Rakyat's exclusive partnership" would be the bane for the nation.

"Apart from the 'I wish to spin budding minister' celebration [PKR], it includes the racist celebration as well as the religious party. They would be quarrelling with any other at any turn.

"They have been not the coalition. They only 'pakat' [plot] to assistance any other win the election. Already they have been quarrelling as to who should spin PM. They do not allow to the thought which the greatest celebration should lead," he added.

'BN is not just the devil'

Mahathir forked out which identical to BN, PAS has been in power in Kelantan for decades though unlike the ruling coalition, the Islamic celebration cannot exaggerate of the growth or prosperity it has brought for the state as well as the citizens.

"The ageing leaders of PAS as well as DAP have not altered for distant longer than the leaders of BN as well as the components. Six budding ministers have led the BN governments though during which time the DAP arch [Lim Kit Siang] remained in place as well as refuses to let go. And the son [Guan Eng] would take over from him. There is the dynasty ! in the m aking.

"The leaders of PAS have not altered during the premiership of four BN leaders. The leader of PKR styles himself as confidant though commissioned his mother [Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail] as president, with his daughter [Nurul Izzah] as vice-president. His insinuate companion [Azmin Ali] is the deputy. There is no indication of any shift in leadership. Certainly not by the leaders stepping down," he said.

Mahathir also reiterated his recommendation to electorate which it is improved for them to expel their ballots for "the demon you know than the angel you don't" though also combined which BN is "not just the devil".

"This country has developed really well under BN rule. And when it did not, it really quickly private the failed leader.

"The elections provide us with an opportunity to impress on the ruling celebration the need for it to shift within itself. The message would be delivered, the warning would be made, as well as there would be certain responses," he said.

"But in this country do not play on the different as well as untried. The couple of opportunities which the antithesis have been since have unprotected their miss of ability as well as judgment. Kelantan has positively not done well. As for Penang, the little great which may be acknowledged is overshadowed by the most failures.

"Elections have been meant for the people to select the celebration which would govern the country. The arrogance is which the people know what is great for them. But in being the infancy of the people do not know. They vote possibly for their race, or celebration because of the promotion they have been unprotected to. Only the small minority understand the issues as well as the peculiarity of the parties contesting," he added.

As for the entrance ubiquitous election, Mahathir is confident which BN will once again retain sovereign power though stressed the significance of the margin.

"Malaysia cannot aff! ord the hung Parliament, nor can it afford the diseased government. Both would be bad for Malaysia as everybody would be focusing on politics as well as the economy as well as growth would be largely neglected," he said.
