Tun M would be better off to leave the past behind, spend his twilight years enjoy fresh air
WITH only two years away to be known as centenarian, perhaps two-time premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad would do his motherland and himself a huge favour by taking a permanent break from politics lest he is only killing his own legacy by transforming from a hero to zero.
Since accused of conspiring with the treacherous group that brought down the 22-month-old Pakatan Harapan (PH) government, the world’s oldest serving state leader (Dr Mahathir was 94 at the time of his resignation in his second stint as prime minister in February 2020) has been a pale shadow of himself, often indulging himself in issuing controversial statements that insult both his friends and foes alike.
Perhaps the time has come for him to give up active politics; rather than ‘frogging’ from Pejuang to Putra to commence a new chapter of his unending political adventure, he would do justice to his life companion of 67 years, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali, by going for holidays or spend precious moments with her.
The recent rebuttal by DAP chairman and former finance minister Lim Guan Eng over claims that “DAP was unable to control him during his second stint as prime minister when PH was in power” speaks volume of his hostility and inability to detach himself from the recent past.
