When Malaysians should ignore Dr Mahathir’s thoughts on Kajang
It is a free country. Correction. It is a relatively free country. As such, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (pic) is free to articulate his views on anything, the weather in the North Pole to the quality of leadership in the country.
But Malaysians are free to disagree and reject whatever escapes from his lips these days.
Even a show of disdain would not be out of place for this political chameleon, who, day by day, shows a convenient ability to forget that many of the country’s ills were sowed and took root during his time.
When he laments about the self-serving nature of Umno politicians and the money-grabbing culture of politics today, Dr Mahathir hopes that we forget about the obscene wealth amassed by his ministers and members of his inner circle.
When he talks about how Christians are being unreasonable by insisting on using the word “Allah”, Dr Mahathir hopes that we forget that his government in the late 1980s allowed the prohibition on the use of the word by Christians be held in abeyance.
When he complaints about rising racial and religious tension, Dr Mahathir hopes that we forget that he is the patron of Perkasa, the right-wing group that has only one brief: to divide this country.
Now, the former prime minister is giving Malaysians his two cents’ worth on the Kajang by-election.
He is entitled to poke fun at Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and call him whatever he wants. But the minute he talks rubbish, he should be called out.
Today, he urged the voters of Kajang to give MCA a chance. Why?
Because according to him the Barisan Nasional (BN) component party is trying to make a comeback after its dismal performance. Really?
One can only guess with his elastic sense of right and wrong, bartering for positions between Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek and Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai is evidence of a party on a comeback trail.
Can you imagine how selfish and self-absorbed these two MCA leaders are that they are carving out largesse for themselves even after their party was rejected by the community for being self-serving?
Liow is listless while Dr Chua… well, the less said about Dr Chua, the better.
But here is Dr Mahathir, hoping that Malaysians will give these self-serving individuals another chance.
But nothing should surprise Malaysians about Dr Mahathir. He will always speak his mind and offer unsolicited advice.
As a general rule, Malaysians should do the opposite of what he wants. After all, the man has an elastic view of what is right and wrong.
p/s: Mahathir mudah lupa..
