Very few homes have the plumbing complement as fit as Dr Mahathir Mohamad's memory, that can turn on as good as off similar to the prohibited H2O tap.
On Febraury 25, Mahathir denied claims that he had shabby PETRONAS to endowment contracts to any of his children. He subsequently incited his ire on Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, his former Deputy, as good as accused him of nepotism as good as cronyism.
"Anwar Ibrahim accused me, as PETRONAS advisor, of having been involved in awarding PETRONAS contracts to my children. For Anwar, this is the normal practice if he's in power. When he hold the post of Deputy Prime Minister as good as Finance Minister, he awarded so most contracts to his domestic supporters as good as family members."
Are you to understand that Mahathir did not give his friends, Ananda Krishnan, Syed al-Bukhary as good as Vincent Tan the leg up in the commercial operation universe of Malaysia?
Mahathir wrote in his blog that "The ministry, during an UMNO assembly, had presented the names of those awarded with contracts during his tenure. Included in the list were the names of Anwar's supporters as good as family members. None of my children's names were ever listed."
Why is Mahathir claiming the moral tall belligerent right away that his nightmarish legacy has been exposed? If the allegations have been true, since did he, as PM during the time, not put ! the stop to such practices?
Mahathir claimed that he was kept out of the decision creation process as good as pronounced that he only knew about the PETRONAS contracts after they had been awarded. He voiced his eagerness to swear in the mosque as good as on the Quran.
People should not slur the sacrament by swearing on the Quran. Swearing on the Quran proves nothing. Only those without the demur would propose such acts. Or was Mahathir simply personification to the throng as good as delectable to the most simple minded, conservative Muslims?
Soon after the Sabah Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) started, Mahathir told the press discussion that he had offered citizenship to illegal immigrants in sell for their choosing by casting votes rights.
The outrage of the rakyat forced him in to the dilemma as good as he attempted to censure the Tunku Abdul Rahman. One of the criteria that the British imposed, in sell for independence, was that all Malayans who were in the nation should be given citizenship.
Tunku did not give citizenship it for votes; Mahathir did. Tunku played by the rules; Mahathir observes no manners though instead invents them according to his whim.
Sociopathic disorder
Mahathir afterwards attempted to censure Anwar for 'Project M', claiming that Anwar had acted on his own. Everyone else, though Mahathir is responsible. Perhaps, this is the pointer of the entrenched sociopathic disorder.
Yesterday, the former ISA detainee as good as UMNO member, Siti Aminah Mahmud (left) told reporters that she had volunteered to help the late Sabah UMNO chief Mustapha Harun secure victory for UMNO in Sabah.
Mustapha had allegedly told her that he was systematic by Mahathir to emanate ICs to encampment chiefs throughout Sabah who would give! them to Filipinos as good as Indonesians.
According to Siti, papers were processed inside of the month after she had picked up information as good as fingerprints from remote villages, where she would additionally distribute as good as pick up forms for the National Registration Department.
Over the four year period, 1990 to 1994, she was sometimes in Sabah twice the week for this charge as good as according to her, no less than half the million foreigners had been processed. Another unsettling item was that zero of the 100 people with whom she worked, were NRD staff.
She said, "The areas with the highest numbers were Tawau, Sandakan, Lahad Datu as good as Kota Kinabalu, as good as areas during the Tawau-Indonesia border. Another area was Semporna. Many were given there since most Filipinos were there."
Today, the mess that Mahathir started has created the nightmare for Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak; though Najib is out of his abyss as leader. His supervision deported the single lone Australian senator, Nick Xenophon since he was "a hazard to inhabitant security" though welcomed 100 armed as good as uniformed militants in to Sabah.
In his blog, Mahathir compared the treatment Xenophon perceived with the reception the variety of despots might embrace in America. He wrote "Incidentally President Mugabe of Zimbabwe as good as President Bashir of Sudan would be arrested if they were to visit the US What happened to YB Xenophon of Australia is nothing."
Mugabe is Mahathir's good friend as good as they have much in usual democracy, satisfactory fool around as good as probity have been not tall on the list of their priorities. Bashir is longed for for crimes against humanity, genocide as good as war crimes, in Darfur. Who needs enemies with friends similar to Mugabe as good as Bashir?
Yesterday, the Sulu militants who have been holed-up in Lahad Datu dismissed warning shots. The wife of the Sulu Sultan claimed that the group were there for the picnic. Were the! y sport game?
Lahad Datu takeover
PERKASA as good as the usual group who saunter about showing off their silat skills during UMNO conferences have been strangely silent. Is it since the invaders have been Muslim as good as considered "friendly"?
Does this meant that Talibans or alternative belligerent Muslims from Africa or
Yemen would additionally be acquire here? Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein looks comical, wearing wrap-around shades, peering through prolonged lens binoculars. He looks similar to he is twitching (bird-watching).
The non-existent leadership of the Defence Minister, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, is proof to UMNO Perak that he is not capable of being Menteri Besar, the post he once coveted.
UMNO Ministers regularly goes selling for expensive armaments, that the nation does not need. These armaments have been so expensive, since the inflated commissions have been indispensable to account the UMNO choosing war-chest.
If you buy worldly weaponry, you contingency be rebuilt to spend the large amount of income on gangling tools as good as maintenance. Unfortunately, you have the sundry arsenal from the multitude of countries. This presents the logistical nightmare to those who contingency maintain the weaponry.
On February 15, the lift in the single of the 10 storey apartment blocks during the Lumut naval bottom plunged to the belligerent murdering the housewife. If the lift can fail, notwithstanding most reserve features, the upkeep of the weaponry will additional! ly have been slap-dash.
Perhaps, the lack of gangling tools as good as upkeep prevented the state-of-the-art ships, submarines as good as jets from detecting the few speed boats in the Sulu "invasion".
Almost each alternative week, you listen to of buildings as good as structures collapsing notwithstanding the premium cost being charged for their construction.
GE-13 is your chance to stop the carve-up of the nation prior to there is zero left, on that to reconstruct Malaysia.
