Mazilamani : After losing his stronghold of the Langkawi Parliamentary seat and leading his fellow Pejuang members to lose their deposits, former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad has become really desperate.
Mahathir's anti-multiracialism is a last-minute instigation hoping that the opposition will win the state elections.
Whether the opposition wins or not, he already has a pre-prepared answer "When did I ever say the non-Malays have no rightful place in this country? How could I have said it after being the prime minister for 24 years? Where is the proof?"
His regular self-publicity reminds Malays that he is still around and no other Malay leader can replace him.
All the leaders after him were good, but he also taught them things he should not have practised.
They took up from where he left off and continued with his habits. All got into legal traps. Bad teacher, good followers.
Siva1967: It is a wise move, and as I have commented several times, Any statement coming from Mahathir should not be given any space.
A media blockade of sorts. Granted, it might be difficult in the day and age, but maybe Malaysiakini should be the first to do so.
Yes, some news can bring in additional readership, but Mahathir is news of yesteryear, so it's irrelevant.
Journalism should also be responsible and not publish news that could be detrimental to the stability of the government and the nation.
The more you ignore a barking dog, the sooner it will realise that its barking is going nowhere.
