Re: Pak Lah versus Dr. M - Round One (official thread)
I have this little stupid fantasy everyday i wake up..
Abdullah is going to tell himself.. If i'm going down, Everyone is coming with me!
Now, that aside, Abdullah still got a chance to fix few fundemental things that aren't drastic enough and will get him new supporters, which are the growing Leftist.
If only he had the guts to come on that television Set and tell his critics, including UMNO supporters, that from now on only he speaks for himself. If he can distant himself from most of the other UMNO putras, he might loose some grass root votes, but the younger voters will see him as a much stronger leader.
Also, He needs to do something real, Free the press for God sake. That should be atleast his legacy. The Man who set it free.
Guts and balls.. this man lacks. 18 months to go.

"Seems" is the operative word ... as far as I'm concerned, nothing fundamental has changed except that the strident cries of protecting bumiputra rights have grown much louder to the exclusion of common sense.
The worrying thing is that AAB can't stop it either because he can't afford to risk eroding his already small number of supporters or he tacitly agrees with them.
Either way the writing is already on the wall so its up to everyone to decide what they want to do about it. Human nature being what it is, most will ignore it until the crunch and then they'll stampede. |

Personally TDM should disappear. I'm no supporter of Abdullahs but I feel more comfortable having him at the helm of the Malaysian ship.
Things seems to be more progressive these days. I feel even the media is more open and criticm of the goverment seems to be more accepted these days.
Courts seems to be getting more independant as well. Anwar was released almost immidiately when Abdullah assumed power.
Many goverment contact dealings have been exposed and the court are not holding back with judgement involving well connected businessmans.
The only Abdullah fault right now is, he doesn;t appear to be making enough statements to the press. Sometimes it feels that he is in hiding and the media focus shifted to the other ministers who are evidently attention whores.. like that dude that keep telling chinese to leave Malaysia.

Know who you mean .... waiting to see if RPK will continue the chronicles later. It was a very well written series of articles I have to admit.
With the latest developments with TDM, it seems that the next phase of TDM's strategy is unfolding. Damned if I can see where he is heading with this though other than getting rid of AB. |

"UMNO are preparing for a rebuttal of all claims made by the country's former prime minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir. The book promises to explain the various connections and allegations through numerous works of art and clues including encrypted government documents.
The new book will be called Dah Benci Kot"
Cheers!!!

| So whats your take on this hot topic? Pretty much the most talked news in Malaysia so far in 2006.
I feel it's good for the country in a sense that since we lack strong opposition, Dr. M recent outbreak seems to have helped divide the people politically on many issues.
Pak Lah as the ussual "elegant silent" style of adminstration is well, just silent. (atlease he is) However his hench Man are making lots of noise though.
