2. A weak Government would not be able to deal with the quarrelling between the races, which is the natural tendency of most multiracial societies. Indeed in some multiracial countries violence and fighting are common. Witness the countries around us.
3. For the slightest reason the races would be at each other’s throats. One incident was the reaction in some countries because of the currency crisis.
5. We now have a weak Government and clearly it is incapable of dealing with the tendency towards conflicts because of race and religion. Because of its weakness it commands little respect and even the weakest parties would thumb its collective noses at the Government. The Government apparently has no idea how to handle these problems. We see it apologising only to have it’s apologies rejected.
6. The worst part is to find its apologies causing anger among the race for whom it is apologising. It has managed to displease everyone; to please no one.
7. Admittedly even a powerful Government, if it is incompetent and badly led would not manage to govern a multiracial country well. We see this happening with the present Government. In 2004 the people gave it almost unlimited power. But it was not able to use the power well and the people decided to reduce drastically its power. Now we see it floundering about, unable to deal with the sensitivities of a multiracial country.
8. The BN was a 14-party coalition of big and small parties. Because it was powerful the component parties did not challenge it. They know if they left the coalition they would be unable to exert any pressure on anyone.
9. Even if they join the opposition they would not be able to reduce the coalition’s two-third majority enough to bring it down. For that reason none of the component parties would want to leave the coalition.
10. On the other hand a coalition of two parties would be very weak. This is because the bigger party need the smaller partner in order to achieve majority to form the Government.
11. Such a Government would be unstable as the smaller party could always threaten to leave and thus bring down the Government. On the other hand the smaller party can join the opposition giving it the majority to form a new Government.
12. The reason the BN was able to create political stability before was because it could not be threatened by any one of its component parties. If any one left the Coalition would not collapse. The party quitting would be out in the wilderness.
13. Presently because the Government coalition is weak every little party can thumb its nose at the Government. The Coalition Government could not afford to lose any component party’s support. It is also not in a position to discipline its component parties.
14. The weak Government lives in fear of being toppled by its components switching side to support the opposition. That is why we see such silly things as sending members of Parliament to a foreign country ostensibly to study agriculture.
15. What does it mean to a multiracial country to have weak Government? The Government would not be able to concentrate on governing because it has to deal with continuous threats by its components of different races.
16. The stability of the country would be undermined. This would be bad for the economy. We are seeing today investors pulling out their money by the billions from the stock market; we are seeing little investment either by locals or foreign investors.
17. The trade balance is in our favour not because of anything smart done by this weak Government, but because the prices of oil, palm oil and rubber on the world market are very high (although now the prices are declining).
18. Generally the economy is bad, as bad as the race politics that we are seeing. The people are the ones to pay the price. They are suffering from high prices with no compensating increase in income.
19. We have had strong Governments for almost 50 years. When we gained independence few gave us any chance. They foresaw racial clashes and political instability.
20. But they are wrong. With strong Governments in place, the bickering between races was reduced. The country was stabilised and with that the economy grew. The objective of becoming a developed country by 2020 seems possible.
21. Now with this weak Government, with incompetent leadership the country is not developing as fast as it used to.
22. In a single ethnic country it does not matter if the Government is weak because it will not have to deal with the heavy pressure of racial conflicts even if the Government is less competent.
23. My observation of Malaysian politics over the last 50 years has convinced that a powerful Government lead by competent leaders is necessary for multi-racial Malaysia.
tiada siapa yang boleh memimpin malaysia sebaik dan semaju TUN…
saya doakan TUN sentiasa sihat,,,
Assalamualaikum Tun,
1. Jutaan terima kasih kepada Tun kerana pernah menjadi Perdana Menteri kepada rakyat Malaysia.
2. Sebagai seorang rakyat Malaysia, saya akui sebuah kerajaan yang kuat amat diperlukan. Kerajaan Malaysia mestilah berkemampuan untuk mecipta keseimbangan dalam merealisasikan kehendak dan hasrat rakyat yang terdiri daripada berbilang agama dan bangsa tercapai secara adil dan saksama. Inshaallah akan mampu dicapai berkat kesungguhan dan usaha kuat kerajaan.
3. Rakyat Malaysia bukanlah berkeinginan memiliki kerajaan yang wajib tunduk kepada segala kemahuan mereka tetapi rakyat memerlukan kerajaan yang telus dalam pelaksanaan pentadbirannya. Rakyat juga memerlukan kerajaan yang mampu membela nasib mereka.
4. Sebagai seorang rakyat amatlah dukacita apabila memerhatikan senario masa kini yang mana kerajaan kini tidak mampu (bukan gagal) menarik hati rakyat untuk bersama membangunkan negara ini. Lebih mendukacitakan, rakyat semakin hilang rasa hormat terhadap kepimpinan negara berbanding sebelum ini. Ini mencerminkan kelemahan sistem pentadbiran.
5. Kelemahan sistem pentadbiran kerajaan pada penanalisaan saya bukanlah disebabkan oleh faktor luaran tapi faktor dalaman kerajaan itu sendiri. Sebagai contoh, ramai yang berkeinginan untuk medapatkan kepentingan peribadi dan menjadikan kedudukan politik Malaysia masa kini sebagai satu landasan yang amat sesuai untuk mereka mempertahankan kepentingan sendiri.
6. Harapan saya, semoga dapat meyaksikan pentadbiran yang sihat dalam kepimpinan kerajaan Malaysia sekarang.
A strong government must start from a good judiciary systems. No one is above the law in that system. Power should come from the Yang the Pertuan Agung and not from the Prime Minister. There should be transparency in the government judiciary systems. During parliamentary sessions all the YBs should behave in a professional manner and have a sense of self discipline. Parliamentary etiquettes should always be observed. They have to be sensitve to their surrondings as the world are watching them. Should not make a mockery of themselves as they hold such high positions and should set good example to the citizens and the investers.
The police will also need to play their part and many a times they are not carrying out their duties professionally especially the higher ranking officials. They have to be objective when dealing with cases and never be personal about it. When being interviewed by the media some even gave an inappropriate answers which in a way enable one to wonder on how competent the police are in the country.
With regards to the media be it television and newspapers, objectivity in reporting incidences should also be present. Noticed that they are pretty lop sided and hence did not give a true picture of the actual events that took place in the country.
When awarding datukship to individuals, there should be a set of rational criterias so that there is a value to it. For those who have already gotten the title, they should behave in a respectable manner and not to take advantage of their title to lure innocent young actress to be their mistress. Crime rate should be controlled as there are many visitors who are being robbed in bright daylight. What’s worse was there isn’t anyone to help when the vicitm is being robbed. Bystanders simple watch as if it was a drama in a tv when it is actually real life event. This will certainly tarnised the reputation of the country. Last but not least, Malaysia should keep up with the slogan, “MALAYSIA BOLEH” in a positive way OF COURSE. And also make it “TRULY ASIA” as advertised in most of the medias.
DEAR TUN,
WHAT WE NEED IS
1) A Government that is accountable for its actions and can show proof by documentation when questioned by the rakyat or any one, and not produce FLIP FLOP reasoning that makes our country look like it has no back bone.
2)Leaders in government who are educated and qualified to run the various ministries with complete transparency and honesty so that the rakyats problems are soved and not leaders who are there for self profit.
3)For abuse of position and power to stop.
4)For the politics to stop and the country to be managed.
‘A STRONG GOVERNMENT’ Can be one that is sensitive to the people’s problems and at the same time be firm in its stance on issues that can effect the economy and countries future.
‘A STRONG GOVERNMENT’ can be of ministers who dont cross the line in using certain security meassures to hide the failures of the leader of the pack,
But all the CAN BE’S wont change the current disgust the rakyat have for its leaders. We need to stop talking, and start doing, we need to stop watching news on UMNO problems with PKR and start seein the peoples problems on the news,
We need a leader not a cat show, or a competition amongst the ministers. The present leadership has failed, i hope that the new leadership after UMNO elections will be a better one. If not we will soon be no better then CUBA…
There are no good or bad political entities, they all just have avaried point of view, but a good leader will capitalize on that an use those views and ideas to bring the races together and to create a strong Malaysia, A weak leader IGNORES the signs, i deas and voices of the rest,
Need i say more,,,,
HAPPY DEPAVALI TO ALL OUR HINDU BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN MALAYSIA
THE VOICE
WE do not need a strong government, but a transparent and truthful one.
Tun, you don’t need to be multi-racial to have the need for strong government. I hope when you say “strong government” you did not mean the type you led. Your successful reign was one of fear and total control. I do say this with a perverse smile.
Assalamualaikum Tun,
Selamat Hari Raya TUN dan keluarga. Semuga semua sihat sejahtera.
Ini hanya pendapat saya insan yang lemah dan tidak berkuasa.
Negara ini sebenarnya aman semenjak merdeka (kecuali 1969) kerana kekuatan kerajaan yang kukuh yang ditunjangi oleh UMNO yang mendapat sokongan padu orang MELAYU. Tanpa sokongan orang Melayu UMNO akan tempang walaupun diketuai oleh pemimpin yang terbaik. UMNO bukannya disokong oleh orang Cina dan India, hanya orang Melayu. UMNO yang tempang akan disisihkan oleh kawan-kawannya.Ini telahpun menjadi kenyataan. UMNO diperkotak-katikkan oleh kawan-kawannya di dalam Barisan Nasional. “Musuh yang paling merbahaya adalah kawan yang paling hampir dengan kita”.
Ketika ini, saya melihat pemimpin UMNO secara keseluruhannya begitu lemah, tidak dapat mengawal keadaan dan gelabah. Pemimpin yang agung, bijak menggunakan keadaan bagi memastikan objektifnya tercapai.
Saya ingin mencadangkan apa kata UMNO meninggalkan Barisan Nasional. Lupakan pasal jawatan Perdana Menteri, Timbalan Perdana Menteri atupun Menteri-menteri yang lain. Apa guna UNMO berada di dalam Barisan Nasional sekiranya kedudukan tersebut tidak dapat menjamin kebajikkan UMAT MELAYU terpelihara. Biar kita bergerak secara bersendirian dan kita lihat apa yang parti komponen lain akan lakukan.
“Sesuatu yang berharga itu akan hanya dihargai bila ia telah tiada”.
Sekiranya, Parti-parti komponen BN merasakan UMNO tidak penting lagi, janganlah digusarkan. UMNO wujud kerana orang Melayu yang menjadi penduduk majoriti di TANAH MELAYU.
Situasi sekarang ini sepatutnya menyedarkan UMAT MELAYU betapa pentingnya politik dalam menentukan masa depan mereka. Politik bukanlah bergantung kepada betapa cerdiknya seseorang tetapi berasaskan penyatuan umat manusia. Siapa yang lebih bersatu, dialah yang lebih kuat. Ketika ini orang bukan MELAYU lebih bersatu berbanding dengan orang MELAYU.
Sekian Terima Kasih
Moral aspect is one of the factor that need to be considered for
the selection of candidate for top post in a government or polical party so that a strong government can be formed and every one can focus their attention on economic activities
Dr Chua must not be overjoyed by his victory , as he gathered less than 50% of the total votes, those voted for him may be influenced by sentiments or other factors. Also the results also did not refects the aspiration of grassroot member. Because most of the grassroot want morally right leader. I do not what is going to happen next. Dr Chua must relinguish the post for the benefits of country and the people eventhough he was elected through election. A good leader should sacrifies for the benefits of the country and the people
As an MCA member Dr.Chua has to follow the value of Malaysia Chinese and not the western value.
I had ever asked Doctor Chua whether he had seek councilling service or consult Pychologist for advice for his acttion but he had never answer to me.To me this is not his private affair he has to educate the general public through his own experience and appolgise in a sincere way.
Dear Tun,
As a malay in my late 20s, I have been confused by the state our local political scenarios ever since your era. As a small-sized nation, I profoundly agree that a strong leadership is vital in order for us to unite and lead the nation into the swarm of globalisation.
But time has changed. Leadership changed hands. And the trends demand a new set of rules.
Paul Krugman, a Laureate winner and a strong supporter of Keynesian economics, has pointed out that market scenarios are eating up the policies by made by the Feds. I believe this somewhat shows that the global power of economic decisions are taking over any stringent and strict controls that can be pushed by a leader. People or “the mob” have stronger says in the market, and even in politics, locally and globally.
With all due respect, I could not see any UMNO leaders that can stand a chance against the tide of globalisation as good as yourself. Nobody has that tenaciousness and confidence to bring the nation through globalisation after yourself, except for the least of my indictment, YAB Anwar Ibrahim. I am not supporting him, but I see no leaders as knowleadgeable and tenacious as him! What choice do people like me have?
Dear Tun,
I was born during your reign as PM. I grew up knowing that our then PM was someone many referred to as “garang,lantang,cunning, and sometimes ‘jahat'” 🙂 . Now that i’m qualified to vote,i see that we’re having the worst (read:lousiest) PM in Malayan and Malaysian history ever (well,we studied History in school,didn’t we?). It’s a true “can’t-trust-govt,can’t-trust-the-opposition-either” case for me, and i strongly believe, many other. I can understand your disappointment towards the GOVT following PRU-12 cos i’m very (to the power of infinity) disappointed too with the way the govt is ‘caring’ for the people… But anyway, i do pray hard and hope highly your son Mukhriz can at least ‘re-incarnate’ your supremacy, if not better.
MALAYSIANS,DON’T SEE MUKHRIZ AS A NEW FACE; SEE HIM AS A REGENERATION OF TUN MAHATHIR!!!
p/s:feels great i can at last write to Dr. Mahathir Mohamad DIRECTLY and be read 🙂
i do agree. i’m worried of what the people and m’sia itself have become. i really miss the good old days when all people regardless the races stand united together. i sincerely believe that we need a stronger gov than what we have today. a gov that can play an intermediate role between all races in m’sia.
Hamba setuju 110% dengan pendapat Ayahanda Tun! Dek kerana weak goverment sejak Mac 2008 ni.. banyak sangat masalah ditimpa negara dan rakyat.. tengok ajelah perkara yang sewenang wenangnya dibagkitkan oleh majlis peguam.. suka suka nak suruh pinda perlembagaan .. tengok pada hindraf.. suka suka nak saman kerajaan malaysia ntah berapa billion trillion tu.. pastu buat demonstrasi haram… tengok pada part barisan komponen.. walaupun secara zahirnya mereka nampaknya bersatu tetapi secara batinnya mereka memberontak … mereka sudah mula demand perkara2 yang rasanya sudah lama dipersetujui apa yang dikata social contract tu… oh ya lagi satu yg hamba nampak sebagai rakyat kebanyakan ialah dek kerana weak government nie harga bahan keperluan harian makin naik setiap hari — maaf ya mungkin ramai tidak setuju tapi hakikatnya gitu— pemborong dan pengeluar kini sewenang wenangnya mengkudakan kerajaan yg lemah ini… apalah dia orang kat TV tu keluar kenyataan “…harga barang untuk hari raya ini dijamin berada dibawah harga syiling serta tindakan akan dikenakan jika menaikkan harga..” hahaha rasa nak pecah perut hamba aje bila dengar statement yang gitu pasal harga barang dah pun dinaikkan sewenang wenangnya sebelum 2-3 hari statement lapuk itu dikeluarkan…
AnakLuarNegara
Doa Hamba:
” Ya Allah Tuhan Yang Masa Esa, Ya Rahman Ya Rahim… Hambamu ini menadah kedua tangannya kepadaMu.. Kupohon padamu supaya Engkau membuka hati Ayahnda Tun Mahathir Mohammad untuk kembali ke pangkuan UMNO dan ke pangkuan sebagai pemerintah.. Engkau jadikannya seorang Khalifah untuk membimbing kami ke jalan yang Engkau Redhai, ke jalan kebenaran dan berikanlah kepadanya kesihatan dan kekuatan untuk menyelamatkan rakyat Malaysia dari ambang kehancuran.. selamatkanlah kami wahai Allah dari segala bencana… Maha berkat Engkau ya Tuhan dan maha tinggi Engkau
Wahai Tuhan yg mempunyai kebesaran dan kemuliaan.”
Salam Tun..
Always salute all the best article from Tun.
Nasib Baik AAMB sedar diri..dah tak layak lagi jadi PM. Nak jadi PM kena lah ada knowledge dan pandai cakap..cakap mesti ada isi…Ini dak..cakap sikit…increase tone supaya orang tepuk…
PM kena berani untuk take any action walaupun to the extend brutal. Ni orang menceroboh perayaan ugama kita pun….tak pa…tolak ansur.. Kalau la kita pi ceroboh kat Bt caves masa upaca ugama depa..agaknya mesti riots. Ini jelas menunjukkan AAMB takut pada kelemahan UMNO & perlu bergantung pada pada parti komponene lain. Sepatutnya polis perlu belasah habis depa yang menceroboh sebagai pengajaran. Ini baru componen minority belum lagi yang lain2.
Thus we really need a dam strong govt. Long live Tun. Saya sokong Tun.
dear tun
Yr tenure as PM produces very, very weak leaders n politicians. There is no leaders anyone of us can be proud of. Even UMNO had only 1 possible credible leader.
Strong Government drive from leaders with strong good values that leave excellent legacies for others to follow. It is not buildings, projects, contracts or other material things that bring greed, lust and unrestrainst desires.
Infact I commend the leaders of component parties for being subservient, obedience n ‘let live’ altitudes that allow peacefull existence.

Dear Mahathir
Do you want to have a Malaysain Government which is as strong as a Singapore Govermnent?
Will it happen in 100 years time?
Tun,
Malaysia is not a multi racial country. The word multi-racial always meant divided malaysian into racial differential. We here in Tanah Melayu, concise of Malay, Chinese, Indian, Kadazan, Iban and minority races. How are these define as multi-racial country?
Look at Australia, Hong Kong and Britain, once any races that holding the respective passport of the mentions country its only state “AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL, BRITAIN NATIONAL (HK), BRITISH NATIONAL OVERSEAS (HK). Not even mentions what color and races are they.
Check at Australia, it had 1000% more races than in malaysia, in meantime’s malaysia called itself Multi-Racial? We only have 3 majority races and minority others than this minorities are even up to 10% of Malaysia populations.
I believe Malaysia are only for Malaysia and no “MULTI-RACIAL” differential.
What about the terms that we use for long time and this terms are use since I was in primary school.
“SAYA ANAK BANGSA MALAYSIA”

Salam Tun,
Sejak bila pulak Pak Lah pandai ambil perhatian akan teguran dan pandangan Tun?
Nampaknya Tun masih ada POWER lagi!!
Kalau selalunya kita tahu Pak Lah tidur duduk atau tidur baring, tapi kali ni beliau akan tidur berdiri atau tak dapat tidur langsung!!

Salam Tun,
I agree with Tun that we need a strong leadership, or rather, a strong government that can forcefully implement transparency, good governance, no cronism, no corruption, not bias and fair chances for all. We definitely don’t want to see abuse of power and abuse of govt procedures by those already in power to ensure that they can continue to be strong and continue to be in power. The rakyat will reject that kind of stong leadership…use of dominant power to block the democracy process, or abuse of certain laws to arrest his oppositions whenever feel threaten of his position.
Leaders can come and go but a strong govt shall remains. Good leaders will leave some good marks in our history for the good deeds and contribution they have made. I am sure all Malaysians will remember Tun for your past contributions. The special and independent Commissions proposed by AAB is good and I am sure he too, wants the nation to remember the transformations he tries to bring. Hopefully, he can sees to that before his exit. The Commission hopefully can provide a better check and balance to our system…as generally, the govt policies are good but the govt implementing agencies in many cases have derailed from his original objectives, causing a lot of dissatisfaction among the rakyat and misperception of the govt.
A strong leadership should not just by a few. We want the smart people to lead us, as the rakyat is also getting much smarter now. There are many professional bodies in our society and I am sure they too can contribute constructive advices to the govt think-tank. Get them involved so that they will not reject you when implementing those policies.
I am just an ordinary Malaysian not affiliated to any political party. I am like most of the customers or other Malaysians want to have choices to choose for the best. We don’t want to see a different kind of strong leadership that will block the existance of another alliance. Rather, there should be a healthy competition so that those already in power will not be complacent, with both trying to do better than he other. The rakyat should have a choice to choose for the best for a better Malaysia tomorrow.
Salam hormat.
Dear Sir,
Well, I’m just a student. But there is one thing that i want to stress. Well, it’s just my opinion and therefore, i would just share with you. I think that if a government need to be strong, we need to be more unite. But how? I have one suggestion here. First of all, i found that not so much malay leaders know to speak chinese or other languages except Malay. This can be shown when we watch the MCA assembly. The Prime Minister didn’t even speak chinese as well, but just in Malay. However, the Chinese will speak Malay during Malay or others occasion, which truly shows their respects to the other ethnics. This is the fact! Everytime, the government said we need to unite. But the leaders, themselves don’t do so. They dont speak certain languages during certain occasions but just speak their own mother languuage. And this really shows no respect at all, which also cannot bring the Malaysian to be more unite! This is a very important reason i think. I really think that all leaders should learn the major languages in the country, and try to speak them out during certain occasions of these races. This will eventually show that the leaders respect the races and ethnics. Intead, it will also strengthen the relationships among very ethnics and even the parties! Thank you! Hope that my suggestion is somekind of good thing. ^^
Tun,
Now that there is hope of a new regime in the govt, i.e. people like Muhyidin and Mukhriz, in the not so distant future, i really look forward to them as catalyst team of change that is open and mindful of mistakes done in the past.
They have to reform the country and do away or reform ISA, OSA, Printing Presses Act, and AUKU to instill a more rigorous, and intellectually productive populace.

Dear Tun,
This is my very first time I am writing my comments in your blog. First of all I would like to wish you Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri, Maaf Zahir & Batin.
Tun, you are a great leader that any country could have. A legendary leader with a true leadership and spirit of excellence. I admired your premiership and even now I your ideas and thoughts are brilliant. It’s going to take many years to have a great leader like you to manage this country. I am very saddened with what is going to our beloved country now. There are many opportunist in UMNO who are just waiting for the slightest opportunity NOT to lead and bring back the party in to the track but instead to see what they can gain out of it. These vultures are the the culprits who must be expelled from the party. I am very worried of what is going to happen to the future generation of ours especially when we are gone. The malay mentallity need to be totally revolutionized for the sake of the country and religion. I don’t see anything in young leaders like KJ, they are just there by the virtue of certain people and for some promising golden opprtunities.
Tun, I don’t know if UMNO is coming to an end following the ‘RAHMAN’ theory but I would like to suggest if you could form another party that truly carries out the interest of malays & muslim in Malaysia. I believe there are many supporters behind you who are willing to go all out for the sake of the country and for our future generation. Someone has to do something about it and there’s no one else that I can think of besides you TUN. You are a leader with strong principle and most respectful. I will stand by you at all time….
Wassalam
Dear YAB Tun,
With respect…
We had enough of DSAAB and since he is leaving in MAC’09, can you suggest the line-up we should have under Najib so we can have this so called “Stong” Government?….
As far as we can see, we have minister who doesn’t have the credibility to become one especially when asked about the police beat removal in Chow Kit….The answer given by this minister was totally unacceptable. I don’t think he really uses his brain before talking!!!
Do you think that DS Najib has this credibility to built a “Strong Government”? What do you suggest Najib should do to make this happen? Do you think we will have a “Clean” govrnment under Najib? As you said on your previous blogs that the current government are corrupted and not clean…And Najib are in the current line-up and also will be heading the future line-up as well…Do you think he can turn the table around and come out clean and strong?
Your thoughts highly appreciated.
Thank you.

I took time to write because this is kind of complex ..but after possitioning myself as the rakyat , my simple mind is saying yes we need a strong government because of so many obvious reasons..livelihood, children, old parents etc etc..even the animals in the zoo depends on a strong govt.
So yesterday when the TV showed bits of Parliament proceeding, I was impressed by the BN rep who gave examples of issues and asked the opposition why they choose to and not to respond. Many of us knew the whys and many choose to just let it go for some reasons of our own.Kejujuran telah terserlah..pick and choose was the story of the day…
It had me thinking, in our parliament there are govt and there are opposition.But it seems that the Govt reps job seems only to respond to issues tabled by among them or brought by opposition. Perhaps to be more credible ,its better that the govt of the day do both, pro active, do not wait for the opposition to do it first..acknowledge valid comments from their own camp colleagues .. take away that job from the opposition.Some of us might take it as ‘kelemahan’ and not good for our self esteem. Really,its not about usâ¦its about the rakyat.The way I see it, the other camp YBs tak ada apa2 yang boleh mereka buat sangat..mereka boleh cakap kuat2 keluarkan issue demi issue which is good but because they are not the govt they cannot do anything much..take their issue ,[yang mana tak menggangu hak dan mengganggu gugat keselamatan ] make it happen immediately and gain the rakyat confidence. On issue yang sensitif – tak payah tunggu any “keeper of the chosen truth’ untuk buat open discussion. Buat dulu, guna think tank yang ada untuk bagi idea biar keeper of the chosen truth tu yang kena respond instead.
Kalau besok kiamat pun hari ini kena kerja juga. Ada macam2 cara untuk masak ayam belada..different chef different style..a leader should learnt from the opposite too..yang juga reprsenting the rakyat. So cook la that ‘ayam belada’ your style..[a more delicious one perhaps, I like my wife’s ayam belada – guna stok ayam maggi] because you have ingredients to make it happen.Itu lah a strong government bagi saya – able to take jab from within and outside and make it happens for the rakyat.A strong government is not deffensive on issues that they can control immediately.We the rakyat understand that not all things can be done immediately..well you have four years.All the Ybs needs to do is stand tall and lawan dengan facts dan ajar rakyat yang memerhati erti kepimpinan.
Ya..we need a strong govt..for that we need a strong and decisive leader.
Terima kasih kepada Tun kerana mengeluarkan posting2 yang membolehkan kami yang biasa2 ni meluahkan rasa yang kekadang terb.. abbas.Salam hormat untuk Tun dan Isteri semoga di berkati dengan tahap kesihatan yang baik .
Salam untuk Tun & Warga Chedet.com,
Saya bekerja sebagai seorang Juru Audit Dalaman di sebuah bank tempatan. Sejak tiga tahun lepas, saya menyewa rumah di Pangsapuri 4E, Flat Seri Melaka, Cheras (terpaksa tinggal di sini atas 2 sebab..1. Dekat dengan rumah mertua (senang nak tinggal isteri bila outstation)..2.apartment yang saya beli kat Cheras Baru berstatus terbengkalai..dah 4 tahun dahh terlewat dari tarikh yang sepatutnya siap). Tujuan saya menulis ini bukan untuk komplen berhubung dengan projek terbengkalai tu..tapi cerita lain lah (ringan-ringan)..kalau warga chedet tak jemu..boleh sambung baca….
Flat Cheras 4E ini di diami oleh masyarakat berbilang kaum (jiran-jiran saya terdiri dari kaum melayu, cina & india Malaysia dalam komposisi yang hampir sama banyak) dan saya sebagai seorang yang agak peramah memang selalu bertanya khabar sesama jiran.
Disebabkan PKR kerap mengadakan ceramah umum di padang Flat Seri Melaka ini (dululah..sebelum pilihanraya..selepas pilihanraya tak de dah pun..mungkin di buat di lokasi lain..maaf saya tak tau) maka selain topik kejiranan..topik politik ada juga diperkatakan sesama tetangga (dalam nada berhati2..agaknya masing2 dah faham tahap sensitiviti kaum masing2).
Dalam kejiranan Flat Seri Melaka ini ada terdapat Pasar Basah Besar (jual ikan & sayur-sayuran) dan dulunya memang menjadi kebiasaan saya untuk membeli barangan keperluan di pasar ini. Terdapat satu unit kedai ikan yang memang menjadi âfavaouriteâ tempat saya membeli barangan basah ini. Namun sejak mertua saya & isteri mula membeli barangan di Pasar Pudu (lebih banyak pilihan kata mereka) lebih kurang 6 bulan yang lalu, saya pun tidak lagi pergi ke Pasar Besar berkenaan.
Isteri saya ada membuat rumah terbuka Aidilfitri baru-baru ini. Saya telah ke Pasar Besar Cheras ini setelah sekian lama tidak ke sana bagi membeli barangan keperluan âopen houseâ hari tu. Yang dituju saya ialah kedai âfavaouriteâ saya (namakan saja kedai ikan Ah Chong). Dari percakapan serta cerita2 Ah Chong ini masa saya selalu ke sana dulunya, saya dapat menyimpulkan dia ini adalah penyokong kuat PKR/DAP/PAS . Tak habis-habis memuji Anwar & Nik Aziz bila saya ke kedainya dulunya.
Bila saja dia nampak saya, dengan nada âexcitedâ dia pun terus menyapa saya….
âBosss..sudah lama u tak datang sini…mana u pergi?..â.
Saya pun jawablah kat dia..âSaya dah kerja kat luar negera lah..pasal ini Malaysia sudah jadi negara yang banyak teruk..banyak buruklah..â..
âAiyaaa..itu baya (bangla), indon, burma..vietnam semua masuk cari makan sini..u pulak pergi kerja luar negeri…kalau ini negara banyak buruk..mesti itu orang tak mari sini cari makan lah kawan..siapa cakap ini negara banyak burukâ tambah Ah Chong lagi…
Saya pun jawap..â Anwarlah yang cakapâ… dan dia terus diam.
Namun atas dasar kawan lama..saya tetap dapat âdiskaunâ dari barangan yang saya beli dari Ah Chong hari tu..kira punya kira..saya perlu bayar RM64 tapi Ah Chong bagi diskaun RM4. Anak saya yang ikut juga hari tu dapat duit raya RM10 dari Ah Chong.

Dear Tun,
Your expression of religious differences and strong government does make a point to advise the present BN coalition leadership to stabilize its management capability.
The premiership responsible is very important in deciding the direction of the policy. Keeping in touch with the nation, condition and happening. This is also vital both international and local shores. Intellectual capability, experiences, character, charisma stir with conviction and passion for this Malaysia country is essential to develop this mother land in respect and aweness.
Application of these traits will result in better management and control of the governing perspective toward better and efficient administration. People are the main key factor in deciding policy and direction of the nation objective gearing into the international arena to market Malaysia and survive with a competitive edge on our trade balance. Thus this will make the country rich and yield the nation and people through better development of infrastructure and expand our local economical trade. In further explanation job will be created and people will able to work and support their family.
So therefore which is the better candidate despite the Dollah step down and the second person took over. Will this condition be a shed of light to the nation? or will it be another fearsome authorian government in evolution.
Whatsoever the reason as in the Will. We pray that Allah will send Tun, to advice, support and encouragement to whosoever perspective for the sake of the people. Your experiences and charisma does make a change. People comes first the resolution of the party objective is draw as to service the path of the nation.
Continue to implement your vision thru your influence and delegation of your vision and passion of Malaysia.
Tun, we love you as in the icon that you have develop this nation to a better and competitive arena. Salute, thank you and praises on your past achievement to us; Malaysian.
Once again we want to REMIND Tun your contribution is EMINENT!
Dearest Tun,
What you said is the right tonic for the current and future leaders to sit and ponder. the Military saying “There are no bad soldiers but they are bad leaders’ is exactly what is happening now in this country. One is popular because one is not doing his job but one is unpopular because one is doing their job, like what you did during your tenure as PM. Things get moving as there were jobs to do unlike now..too much politicking, too much greed by all parties..Pak Lah should maximised the deployment of the Special Branch to nab and watch all these crooks like HINDRAF, ANWAR IBRAHIM, LIM KIT SIANG, KARPAL SINGH and their likes. Get the SB to intimidate them and warned them not to be funny and cheeky. WE ve been living in peace for the last 50 years and there no reason to fight over petty issues like race, religion and the economy. The rakyat have choosen their leaders and up to these leaders to fulfill the rakyat aspirations instead of filling up their coffers and enriching thmeselves with the peoples money. The banning of HINDRAF was the right thing to do as we dont need groups to pressure the government to entertain their nonsense. Let this be a lesson to all in Malaysia that there are no place for groups to tell the government what to do. The government shouldnt entertain any group that are asking for their whatever rights. Remember the AL MAUNAH GROUP, the Government even send them to the gallows, what more this HINDRAF group. Let them stay and rot in Kamunting Kem under ISA. Even the AL ARQAM movement was banned!! so what the difference with HINDRAF? If i have my own way, I will closely watch and monitor Anwar Ibrahim, Lim Kit Siang, Karpal Singh, Teresa Kok and whoever I feel will cause trouble in our beloved country. Use the ISA effectively to Rakyat advantage. You said that as rakyat we are entitled to live in peace and harmony and it up to the government to ensure that we, the Rakyat get this!! So, Dearest Tun, keep up your work in making the government stay on their toes.
Thanks a lot Tun for the real and needed advise for us the “rakyat”,
but what about the so call “pemimpin” that stubbornly ignored any call to any of their wrongdoings.Actually to our view , the pemimpin
choose or surrounded by stupid or mostly self interest advisor, so
as a humble malay ,we wish that Tun could make a comeback by virtue
as advisor to make malaysia once again safe and the vision 2020 really come true. Your resume have proven.Semoga Allah memberkati Tun sekeluarga.
Tun. .
Tak banyak yang majoriti rakyat Malaysia harapkan daripada kepimpinan negara. Cukuplah sebuah negara yang aman damai harmoni, yang rakyatnya boleh tidur lena , boleh cari makan..yang ekonominya kukuh …dan perpaduan kaumnya utuh. …majoriti rakyat tak ambil peduli sangat tentang politik asalkan pemerintah dapat memastikan rakyat boleh menjalani kehidupan mcm biasa , mcm sebelum sebelum ini. kalau ada masalah cepat-cepat selesaikan. . jangan biarkan dia membiak dan berkembang sampai memusnahkan kemerderkaan negara yg dah melangkau 51 thn ni…siapa saja yang naik baik najib ke sesiapa sajalah pastikan pergolakan politik yang tak habis-habis ni diredakan…dah naik meyampah baca isu politik yang tak reda reda dalam surat khabar..cukup cukup lah tu.. faktanya rakyat dah muak dgn agenda politik keterlaluan sesetengah pihak…bawak bawak lah muhasabah diri….sedar sedarlah kat mana kita berpijak dan pandang pandang lah sekeliling sebelum bersuara….ingatlah ketaksuban politik yg melampau boleh musnahkan negara….

Dear Tun,
Just read something incredible.Somebody commented that after the “azan” issue some Muslims have bought more loudspeakers for the morning call to prayers to challenge the other races.Cannot believe this type of thing can happen in modern M’sia after so many yrs of tolerance & mutual respect for each other.Tun, you will secretly thank God that all these did not happen during your tenure as PM.Pak Lah also had enough of all these!!.I expect PM-in-waiting will also not have an easy time controlling all the people with different sensitivities,likes & dislikes.Most important, I think is to moderate our actions & not go overboard in whatever we do.
Somebody ask Tun whether all of us on your blog are patriotic.Well how much feelings can we express on the net?.
If we criticise the Govt.too much we are deemed as disloyal & can be labelled as subversive elements.If we praise & say positive things we can be described by some as just hypocritical.So best to be moderate.

Dear Tun dan Salam Aidikfitri sekeluarga. Izinkan saya beri penjelasan kepada pengulas.
Kpd ‘Dal’
Terima kasih krn sudi baca dan mengulas tulisan saya. Saya buat anggapan dia tak mampu pergi SK krn SK jauh dan SRJK dekat dgn estet atau desanya (Anggapan ni mungkin silap) Kebanyakkan SRJK Tamil terletak di estet dan luar bandar di mana rakyat India tinggal bersekelompok.
Saya akui tak tau keluarga wanita ini kaya atau miskin semasa dia kecil dulu. Dari suasana, keadaan dia ditangkap dan lihat gambarnya saya ‘agak’ dia miskin (Mungkin silap juga)
Tapi kalau tak reti BM, besar kemungkinan dia tak habis belajar sek rendah baik SK atau SRJK. Saya ‘agak’ sekali lagi ini mungkin krn miskin (mungkin silap)
Saya sebut tuisyen dlm konteks kalau tiada SRJK dan bukan pada kes wanita ini.
Bukan maksud saya wanita ini ditangkap krn tak reti BM (Dia ditangkap krn sebab lain) Silap bahasa saya nak pendekkan perkataan (kurang perkataan ‘yang’ tak reti BM) Harap maaf kalau maksud lain yang dibaca atau terpapar.
Saya pandang semua bahasa sebagai ilmu dan anugerah Tuhan dan pembelajarannya patut digalakkan. Pengetahuan BM memberi saya kelebihan memahami, mendekati, bergaul mesra dgn stau lagi insan Tuhan. Harap betulkan kalau ada pandang serong yang tak baik terhadap BM.
Terima kasih sekali lagi pada ‘Dal’ dan juga Tun melayan kami, memberi ruang pada saya di blog popular,panas,professional.
Assalamualaikum Tun,
Saya amat bimbang dengan kedudukan masa depan bangsa Melayu di negara ini. Sudah ada bangsa lain yang berani mengatakan bangsa Melayu juga adalah pendatang di negara ini. Mengapa Pak Lah tidak menegur tindakan ini secara tegas? Juga mengapa pembangkang yang berbangsa Melayu tidak mempertikai kenyataan ini secara tegas ?
Secara terus-terang saya katakan, saya tidak mahu negara yang saya cintai ini diperintah oleh orang selain dari bangsa pribumi negara ini. Kita sudah lihat jiran terdekat kita. Bangsa Melayu amat susah untuk dilihat dalam pentadbiran negara apabila kaum mereka memerintah. Di Malaysia, walaupun bangsa Melayu memerintah, kita masih memberi peluang kepada bangsa-bangsa lain untuk terlibat dalam pentadbiran peringkat tertinggi.
Kita sudah melihat bukti di depan mata apabila sebuah negara yang asalnya milik orang Melayu menjadi milik bangsa lain. Janganlah ia terjadi kepada Negara kita ini.

First, I must congratulate all the commentors ahead of me. At one time, I thought I was the first because, when I submitted my comments, there were no comments yet. When it was subsequently posted, I was number 42 (kalau tak salah). Not easy to be the first. Sometimes, it is not posted at all !
Anyway, what Tun has said makes a lot of simple sense. What I despise is when a Minister like DSAAB quotes â Our fundementals are strong. Our reserves are big. Our this and that are okâ¦.. What is DSAAB trying to do?. When the whole world is facing a turmoil, it will afect Malaysia. The danger in not telling the truth of the situation in Malaysia will create minds to think that everything is OK. If the truth has been said like â¦â prepare for hard times, spend wisely, etc. etc. then your minds will be focussed on addressing those issues ! Dia ingat orang Malaysia tak sekolah ke? ( Malaysia has a 100% literacy rate mind you !) DSAAB is already on the way out and yet he is still dragging the people down the mud ! Apalah DSAAB ni.
Anyway Tun, for what you have said, it is easier said than done. For a person of your caliber, it is easier done than said. But how many of our leaders are like you. If no one can do it alone like you can, then garner support from other ministers, etc. to put the ideas into implementation.
Many commentors have said that those in power are also busy accumulating wealth. Then, with this focus in mind, none of them will be able to provide a solution to the current problems that Malaysia is facing, i.e. make a strong government. Only people who makes sacrifices ( one of the persons I admire the late Tun Ismail Ali, Governor of Bank Negara Malaysia ) will be able to get the job done well. As long as we have people who have controversial issues like Mike tyson who claims who cannot speak english !), DSRA, that fierce women (who I admit gave good lectures during University days), KJ, 4th Floor etc etc (we were lucky to be no 47 (maybe out of 48?)), or the party that wants to leave barisan, THE GOVERNMENT WILL NEVER EVER BE STRONG.
Anyway, if I am not mistaken, Tun and Bonda is in Melbourne around this time to give a talk. I wish that assignment is successful. You may not know this Tun, if ther are any comments by you in the local papers, I only read your comments and couldânt care about others as they are not telling the truth !

dear tun,
i have read todays news that the hindraf has been declared a dangerous organisation.at last the kdn has balls to do it.it should have been done long time back.as immediate feed back,the declaration has created some fear.the news is spreading that the organisation has been mae use of and the ones who have been arrested are just scape goats.
satu gerakan memburu ahli ahli dia mesti di lakukan.by doing this the real culprit behind the scene will be known to everyone.those who bewcomes victim will rebel and try to rotect the self interest.must see what be relate3d to them on serious terms to make it look like that they are dangerous.infact they are dangerous.let the realisation of being used by someone spread.hope it will bring more wider awareness of he whole trick,strategies and their tactical moves instigated by some one.
sometime back before the election many phamplets were distributed to the taxi drivers all over.taxi drivers are the ones who have the opportunities to get one on one with the passenger without anyone knowing under the closed environment.so have to be carefull on the moving teams.
on teh najib issue ,now he is attacking and statrted to work on credibility.he has more time till the next election.however the announcement by pak lah to stay till 2010 has made a protection layer.as we know pak lah never run away.so he would have created a protection ,an umbrella for najib to seek shade under his protection.now as he is moving away it has created an opportunity for the opponent to work on direct attack.ini orang bususk hati.he will attack anyone who wants to go for the chair.as everyone is aware the chair is looked at by 27 million people and gets very hot.thats the hot chair.focus of everyone.as there are some ulterior motives to take over ,te other has no choice to work on strategies to topple whoever is trhe succeeder.as the current issue as being concerned by many will najib survive these attacks? well to me he will weaken the society support.stratetigies and tactical moves must be worked out to carry out the moves to weaken his credibility as much as possible.as he is working on something surround him with questionable discretion and authorative moves.create question why it is done such and not the other way around sas it would benefit the people.why waste resources and things like that.have to keep on working and create as he will not stay behind.
there are many things that are being ignored.everyone has to watch ,observe and be sensitive towards every move.
jebat must die is a good blog.i went there to see the articles.
try to dig those sensitive issues that surrounds him during his time as tpm.ba busuk kena korek keluar.no choice.even if it relates to the bribery and misuse of power.eacxh and everything must be studied the implications seriously
on the altantuya issue ,that will be the main issue that will damage najib.he has to be very careful and keep away from any involvement.if possibly there can be some relation with the opposition,the connection possiblyif studied properly can be pushed back as the instigations by someone to createw a mess out of this matter.i think there has been some invisible instigations unseen and unknown.otherwise the sudden blow wont have been there.
many trees are being fallen and the hills are being cleared for construction work.this will later create severe flood in selangor.sayang saya tengok banyak pokok pokok kena tebang dan bukit di ratakan.a tree that big takes a lot of time to grow but in matter of minutes the tree is pushed down and the soil is being exposed.
somethings personal.i can strongly sense some energy drop in your body.thats not good.we need you.whatever must e corrected is partly hs become your reponsibility also.we need a strong man.your health is important.please take care.if there is no symbol then there is no spirit in the whole struggle towards freedom.
i have to go now.i will catch up later.
Hello Tun Mahatir,
I have just recently joined your blog. After reading your comments with relation to needing a strong government, I believe that we do.
The problem with Malaysia is that Barisan Nasional and UMNO have created division within its own party ranks by seggregating the “street level” races, making offensive remarks to minorities, unsheething the Krest as a sign of Malay supeority… this has caused Malaysia to be divided and will cause its internal economics to be diminished,unstable and unproductive.
If you look at the world, the powerful economies of the world have united their nations and have all tried to invade other countries (eg: Japan, USA and many European countries).
Malaysia needs to afford a solution to bring its people together to be able to compete with other nations. There shouldnt be any need for internal race based disparities because we live in a globalised world where everything is transparent… even China is learning this the hard way….
What must be done?
Barisan Nasional really needs to change. Much like Proton who have rested on their laurels and have become complacent with government hand outs, the government has lost its competative edge because it hasn’t really needed to compete with such a strong opposition.
Many of the things that Anwar has said is true. Whether you agree with me is another issue, but Malaysia needs to inject a more dynamic and globalised approach at internal government policies.
The leaders of Malaysia should be LEADING with IDEAS. They should comprise of the sophisticated elite and those who desire to better the nation as a whole and not be the RINGGIT RORTERS of society.
Many of the leaders in Malaysia have been two faced when dealing with Hindraf including Badawi. I find it a disgrace that the government is not listening to those who plea for help and label them as terrorists. Don’t you think the Malaysian people especially the government should have progressed in their level of sophistication or have their grass roots greed morality consumed them to a irrepairable level?
Salam Tun,
I just want to comment on the below two commentators,

Dear Tun!
The 2nd last commentator on your blog by the name of DR REZUAN! One wonders if he is actually a doctor! You know why? Despicable English!!! Or is he a “mad doctor”? Left to the imagination, right!!!
Das
You Comment on Dr Redzuan,
This Doctor is a product of NEP AND YOU ARE NOT SUPOSSE TO QUESTION THEIR CREDIBILITY,If you do you will be placed in Kamunting,Be Alert and warned of the repurcussion.
——————————————————————–
Mohd SivaKumar
My comment, Hei Sivakumar, you must be very happy that you and your friends went to Pak Lah Open House the other day. Hopefully you managed to kiss his hand.
Das, I’ve seen your comment in Anwar’s blog. Wow, you sure are his fan. I know because only comment glorifying him is allowed in his blog.
To both of you, English is a form of communication. If your English is impeccable but your attitude is like yours Sivakumar Pillay, I would just choose a not so impeccable English writer.
Anyway, Dr is not only given to medical doctor la friend, If that person is Linguistic (BM) Scholar, he/she can also be a doctor if he/she managed to secure a pHD. IF that person wishes to write in a not so impeccable English, so be it. At least that person is ‘berbudi bahasa’ . Sivakumar Pillay, I think you should read more into Tun Sambanthan speech which he made in 1955 pertaining Malays into accepting the Chinese and Indian as co citenzen of Malaysia. At least then, we could all live together peacefully and not harping on NEP issues. Or perhaps we could just free those people of Al Maunah co believers a like in Kemunting so that they could harping on fundamentalist issues as well.
salam buat TDM..
saya setuju dengan apa yang Tun tulis..
saya bangga pernah mempunyai pemimpin sehebat Tun..
pemimpin-pemimpin luar juga amat menghormati Tun..
sebut sahaja Malaysia,orang akan berkata tentang Tun..
saya generasi muda perlukan seorang pemimpin seperti Tun yang berani,berkaliber,dan berwibawa..
semoga panjang umur dan dirahmati Allah Tun Dr Mahathir..

The only kind of government a nation need is a government who can stimulate the economic growth of the nation. Malaysia does not has this kind of government now. AAB’s government is weak and corrupt. Bear in mind, corruption comes in different forms, monetary and not forgetting misuse of power. Malaysia kini adalah sebuah negara yang tidak stabil. Isu pergelutan politik adalah punca utama kejatuhan Malaysia. Malaysian has lost faith in our government. Malaysian government is no longer working for the people.
Salam Tun dan semua pembaca!
Kalau kita memperkatakan sebuah kerajaan yang kuat ianya bukan saja berdasarkan kepada jumlah kerusi parlimen yang dimenangi olih pihak kerajaan tetapi ianya meliputi dari segi ekonominya,pertahanannya dan rakyat hidup dalam keadaan aman dan sejahtera tanpa gangguan dari pihak-pihak yang merasa iri hati atau dendam terhadap pemimpin.Ini akan membawa rakyat kearah kesejahteraan.
Untuk makluman saya telah ditanya tentang Tun apa yang saya jawab hanya 4 patah perkataan iaitu Nama Tiada Suara Ada.
Selamat hari raya maaf zahir dan bathin.

Assalamualaikum Dear Tun
I agree with you that we need a strong goverment and competent leaders in multiracial Malaysia.If I may suggest to you,and I hope you do not be annoyed by it. As I see it, we will never, ever get a strong goverment and competent leaders in Malaysia anymore with the present political setup, with Umno become the backbone of Malaysian politic.Umno is crumbling down as its members from top to the bottom is highly infected with the most dangerous virus; the love of wealth and power. Umno members will fight with each other because of power and wealth and as a result , soon Umno will collapse, bringing with her the collapse of Barisan National.A strong goverment and powerful leaders only exist if the leader and the goverment is help by ALLAH.Allah will only help the leaders and the government if they do the work of Allah or the work of Nabi Muhammad saw. Sincerely Yours.
Pada pendapat saya yang start menghuru-harakan negara adalah DSAI dan dengan kerajaan yang lemah lagi teruklah negara kita.
Salam hormat saya pada Tun.
Perkembangan yang baru2 ini kita dengar,Datuk Najib akan mengambil tempat PM yang akan dikosongkan dan Muhyidin akan bertanding bagi kerusi Timbalam PM.Saya rasa kalau ini berjaya mungkin satu gandingan yang baik lebih2 lagi kalau ada satu lagi kerusi untuk Tun sebagai mentor didalam UMNO dan MT.Ini akan lebih menguatkan perpaduan UMNO dan BN dimasa2 akan datang.Saya berharap kepada Tun yang telah ada banyak pengalaman didalam arena politik supaya membantu dan merestui gandingan ini demi kepentingan Melayu kerana kalau kita tengok UMNO ini boleh diibaratkan harimau yang dah kehilangan gigi.Dia boleh mengaum sekuat2 nya namun tak boleh gigit lagi.Maka untuk menguatkan kembali UMNO dimata masyarakat,saya cadangkan Tun diberikan satu kerusi sebagai mentor or we can call Old Guard.Whip them hard pada sesiapa yang tak setia dan tak bekerja untuk UMNO.UMNO harus mempertahankan maruah bangsa tapi dgn berbekalkan ilmu dan pengetahuan baru kita boleh maju kedepan.
Buang yang keruh dan ambil yang jernih.
Minta izin Tun,
Kpd S..Tan on October 16, 2008 12:54 AM — (1) Tak mampu hendak tamatkan belajar di SRJK, saya cadangkan masuklah ke SK. Percuma. Bahasa hantaran BM. Apa masaalah?
(2) En Tan sebut “… Bahasa ibunda boleh mrk pelajari persendirian dgn tuisyen.” … boleh bayar tuisyen menendakan dia ini mampu. … bukan miskin seperti yang didakwa.
(1) Ternyata telah disediakan pembelajaran dalam bahasa rasmi negara secara percuma.
(2) Terbukti dia mampu. Jauh dari miskin.
Tiba-tiba berkeras untuk memilih sekolah yang menggagalkan. Jangan-jangan orang yang En Tan bela ini anti Melayu dan anti Malaysia tak.
Atau, saya katakan kepada kepada En Tan bahawa cerita En Tan di atas itu hanya rekaan dan ALASAN untuk mengabui pendirian sebenar En Tan dan mengelirukan.
(3) En Tan tulis, ” … Contoh wanita ditangkap imigresen tak reti BM” Sebenarnya, sesudah ditangkap kerana sesuatu sebab, tiba-tiba didapati dia (rakyat Malaysia ini) tidak faham BM.
Cara En Tan memaparkan fakta itu seolah-olah dia ditangkap kerana tak reti BM.
En Tan ini Dr Spin. Ada prejudis terhadap BM sekurang-kurangnya. Selamat menikmati kemakmuran Malaysia.
Terima kasih Tun.
Salam Tun,
Saya pon memang dah lama dah dok tengok, kita memang perlukan Kerajaan yang kuat dan tegas, tak biarkan semua orang dok cakap semua benda secara merapu & mengambil kesempatan meminta benda yang bukan-bukan untuk kelompok kecil mereka.
On the other hand I also observed that you did not properly transfer your knowledge and skill to your UMNO team. During your time you have done quite a numbers of mistakes and quite a significant numbers of achievement, when the new UMNO team take over they only know how to make thing worse.
We indeed need a strong government. We have actually witness and experience the misfortune of having a weak government like in the past few years after your era Tun. However we were very lucky that the country was bless with very educated citizen that we did not go into racial confrontation. But I don’t think this will last long if the the government in not strong. We want to be in a position to speak out but very unfortunate most of the people speak out with racial sentiment especially against each others race and religion which is the exact substance for racial confrontation. Most people knows this substance very well but they continue talking aloud without fear as they know that the government is weak to do anything. They hide behind the legal system and behind their religion which is constitutionally protected to protest and rally and without fear of the law knowing very well they can hide behind. Making it worse, they have instant made rhetoric leaders who will just harp on any issue that comes along without any real agenda to serve the people but only to use them as the people shield.
So Tun, the government must be strong. The people are not ready yet to speak out like Malaysian. They are more aligned towards their own race and religion. The strong government should not allow any racist sentiment, association, clubs, companies, societies or even schools to exist other then those spell out in the constitution. These group of racist worrior and organization should be branded “RACIST” and not allow any privillage of a citizen of Malaysia.
Languages can be thought in just one type of school only making all Malaysian learn all the important languages which shall benefit all the races and this shall make Malaysian fight for Malaysia. The strong majority must rule and the majority must be given the privillages and not the minority racist lot that appears to be strong

Buta Sejarah? Siapa yang buta ????
Kalau ada mentri melayu yang kata atuk dia dari Aceh, yang satu lagi kata dari Sumatra, ada juga sultan keturunan bugis and ada dari Sumatra.
Perdana Mentri pun ada yang asal dari India, satu lagi keturunan Turki, Mentri Dalam Negeri mengingatkan kita dia keturunan Arab mengikut nama dia. Ada juga orang keturunan Java yang kata dia bukan Melayu tapi kerajaan kata dia itu Melayu.
Kalau Melayu semua berasal dari Tanah Melayu, berapa besar kah tanah ini? Ada kah tanah ini termasuk semua kawasan Indonesia, Turki, Arab ??? Jadi negara Malaysia kita ini bagaimana ?
Jagan lah meghina orang lain semata-mata kerana mereka berbeza dari bentuk mata ataupun warna kulit.
Dear Tun and Salam Aidilfitri sekeluarga. Minta izin Tun beri ruang melencong sikit jawab tulisan(berulang kali)tentang orang tak reti BM.
TAK RETI BM
BM tidak dipertikai bahasa kebangsaan, bahasa negara, bahasa perpaduan, bahasa pusaka kaum Melayu dan perlu dihormati. Penghormatan sesebuah bahasa lebih bermakna jika bangsa pengasasnya disanjung, disegan dan dihormat.
Tapi kebanggaan buta dan serong terhadap bahasa sudah mengabui mata orang hak istimewa terhadap kemiskinan orang lain. Contoh wanita ditangkap imigresen tak reti BM. Dia dihina dikutuk padan muka.
Tak nampak ke DIA TU MISKIN! Bukan ‘racist’ tak nak belajar BM. Beri dia ‘keistimewaan’ percuma sekolah asrama penuh satu tahun saya jamin Bahasa dia menang pegawai imigresen yang tangkap dia. Inilah dasar keistimewaan jadikan manusia tak berhati perut, buta mata dan hati menuduh tanpa periksa.
Yang sedih dasar memulau SRJK membuta mata kerajaan juga kepada kemiskinan di sekolah ini- RAKYAT MISKIN TURUT TERDAMPAR. Jadilah orang lepas Merdeka 51 tahun tak reti BM. Bukan mrk anti-Melayu, racist. Mrk miskin tak dapat bantuan buku, skim khas, asrama penuh(mcm SRK) tercicirlah di SRJK. Kalau dapat sampai SMK tak kan tak reti BM. Saya cabar sesiapa berani juang bagi mrk bantuan sekolah asrama penuh dia tak tahu BM lepas 1 tahun! Budak tiga tahun pun boleh belajar bahasa dalam setahun.
Wujud dan kembang SRJK bukan kerana kaumnya racist tak mau belajar BM – sebab tak dapat apa apa, sebab survival, nak hidup. Cuba beri peluang universiti,biasiswa,kerja kerajaan tanpa kuota untuk lulusan SRK TANPA KIRA KAUM. Saya jamin besok semua SRJK akan tutup tak ada murid. Hanya orang bodoh tak nak belajar lebih bahasa. Bahasa ibunda boleh mrk pelajari persendirian dgn tuisyen. Pelajaran adalah untuk menjamin masa depan bukan bermegah kosong.
Sekurang kurang mrk ada asas bahasa ibunda, boleh guna bahasa yang laku di Asia dan Barat, berpeluang masuk universiti luar negara, dan dapat peluang kerja dari kaum sendiri kerana pasti awam tak dapat. Dengan dasar ‘keistimewaan’ mampuslah mrk kalau hanya tahu BM. Dalam negara sendiri BM dia TAK SAMA LAKU apatah lagi luar negara.
Pelajaran Asas(sekolah rendah) bukan lesen, permit, jawatan, tanah, concession boleh ada keistimewaan. Pelajaran Asas adalah HAK ASASI MANUSIA, kalau kita manusia.
Yes, Malaysia needs a strong government. But can it be a strong and fair government ? This will be doubtful as the majority of the population is Malays. The psychology of people is such that they want to belong to a group. So they would use reasons such as race, religion, honour and so on and so forth. Just recently, because of the Malay Muslim honour, the Malays decide to buy more loudspeakers to pray. Is it to praise God ? Because if it is, then praise God. Is it to challenge the other race ? Because if it is, then God is being made the scapegoat. So it will be ISA for those who disagree with anything from the government. And non for those who support the government who thinks that because the government is his backbone, he can say anything he likes. The government will be seen as promoting disharmony. It is just a matter of time when the people begin to see that things are not right. So happens the time is now. Some of the countries with strong governments around the world. Singapore, Brunei, Burma, North Korea, China, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Cuba; these countries have leaders who seem to last forever or have political parties that reign forever. But the citizens are not happy. The people in Burma are not happy because Miss Aung San Suu Chyi is on under house arrest though officially elected as the head of the country. The children in North Korea are starving because the money goes into weapons and technology. The people in Cuba can be considered poor because communism says they cannot be rich. The women in Saudi Arabia cannot do what men can do all because they are considered weak. Strong but not fair.
Dear Tun,
Just one simple comment. PM try to be sarcastic in his interview. He claims one thing for sure he won’t govern from the sideline when he retires. He hits at you. That guy don’t realise he can’t govern from the inside given the authority as PM. What more from sideline.That’s the difference between you and him. You still can govern from the sideline even without the title PM. That’s a gift. Not all have it.
I personally think that to have a “Strong Government” you need a strong Leadership which knows how to tackle things in a smart & efficient way. When Tun pass the PM chair to Pak Lah the government was very-very strong with less opposition in the parliment.
How bout now?…
I make my point very clear . If you have a Smart, Effecient & Intellectual person as the Leader then the Goverment would be absolutely strong.

p/s: ..tun, saya nak jambatan indah bengkang dan bengkok di tambak johor bolehh??hmmm angpow kami rakyat johor
😀 🙂
salam Tun,sy kurang gembira dgn apa yg berlaku skrg.ramai yg lantang menyuarakan pendapat masing2,mengenai perkauman,ketidaktelusan dlm kepimpinan dan berbagai2 lg isu2 semasa skrg……tapi hanya sekadar cakap kosong,atas angin….berlalu begitu sahaja….mengapalah mereka tidak membuat perubahan @ sebarang tindakan utk kebaikan kita semua dan selepas itu barulah berkata apa yang patut dikatakan..semoga kita semua belajar dari kesilapan lalu.
To lameduck on October 15, 2008 2:44 PM — let them be. They know Tun can NEVER be irrelevant. Because of this, they are never relevant.
To thebigdipper on October 15, 2008 3:27 PM — sehubungan komen sdr ini, ada satu conton:
Di belakang Sekolah Keb. Jln Pasar K.L terdapat tanah lapang kepunyaan DBKL atau Kerajaan. Dahulu kawasan ini kawasan kuarters kerajaan yang sekarang ini sudah dirobohkan.
Sedikit demi sedikit sekumpulan pekerja menambak dan mendirikan binaan papan. Di sekitarnya dan di dalam binaan ini ditegakkan beberapa patung yang setengahnya bertangan 2+. Terdapat juga ditegakkan serupa lembing bercabang tiga. Di bumbung binaan tersebut terkibar Jalur Gemilang
Sekali sekala lori DBKL masuk memunggah batu dan tanah diikuti jentolak meratakannya. Yang bekerja di situ memberi faham mereka mendapat galakan dari DBKL dan Kerajaan Negeri. Jangan-jangan ini helah lanun peras ugut supaya dapat ganjaran tanah.
Mungkin juga kerana kerajaan negeri sekarang seperti Kerajaan Negeri Perak memang menggalakkan apa saja asalkan mengguris hati orang lain.
Harap-harap ini benar kerana pendatang Indonesia dan Bangeladsh mula memunggah kayu dan batu buruk kononnya buang sampah. Tapi DBKL cepat hantar lori dan pekerjanya pungut balik punggahan tersebut.
Ade lg org nak cuba mendatangkan kemarahan pasal isu perkauman ni… ape la si nyonya tu ( Ape tah name dia ) eh.. org gerakan plak tu. Boss dia buat x tau je. bila org melayu, sebuk plak suruh mintak maaf. patut diknakn tindakan yg sama jugak la…. Ha..Pak Lah x kan senyap je kate masih nak jd PM…eeee, geram betul.
Sorry Tun, sensetif ni hati tau..
To PakPandir08..
Asal ko sengal sangat, mmg x tau bersyukur la. Kalu kite x dapat pemimpin mcm Tun ni dunia xkan kenal Malaysia ni, mmg ko org x kenang budi. Mmg padan pun ko letak nama Pakpandir tau berangan je, cakap lebih.Ko ni orang Malaysia ke ape PakPandir08? Org Jepun Pun tau respek Tun Dr. Mahathir.
Salam Tun,
Pandangan yang amat berharga untuk bangsa, negara dan agama.
Wassalam.
Assalamualaikum Tun yang dikasihi,
Bila saya melihat gambar-gambar yang dimuatkan di MINAQ JINGGO FOTOPAGES di majlis Rumah Terbuka Aidil Fithri di rumah bekas Pen.SU Pergerakan Pemuda UMNO di Taman Ukay Perdana, Hulu Klang hati saya tersentuh, sedih, tertanya dan gembira. TERSENTUH kerana melihat ramai menteri2 dan pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO sudah berani bertemu dan berjumpa dengan Tun. Inilah harapan Tun sewaktu beliau bersara dahulu. Baru sekarang Tun dapat menikmati harapannya itu.
SEDIH kerana semasa Tun menjalani pembedahan jantung di IJN tahun 2007, UMNO dibawah pimpinan sekarang tidak langsung menganjurkan solat hajat untuk Tun malah majlis yang sama yang telah diadakan oleh anak-anaknya telah dipulaukan.
TERTANYA apakah pengaruh KJ telah hilang apabila PM mengumumkan tidak bertanding jawatan Presiden UMNO tahun ini. Dengan adanya KJ menawarkan diri untuk bertanding Ketua Pemuda maka saya kira bisanya sudah hilang. Dia tidak boleh mengugut pemimpin UMNO lagi. Peranan dia sekarang bertukar menjadi merayu dan memujuk.
GEMBIRA kerana Insya Allah UMNO akan pulih semula dengan kehadiran para menteri dan pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO sudah berani bertemu dengan Tun. Saya yakin dan percaya tak berapa lama lagi Tun akan kembali ke pangkuan UMNO iaitu parti yang menjadi wadah perjuangan orang Melayu yang Tun sangat-sangat sayangi.
Kepada Dato Mukhriz saya ucapkan tahniah kerana telah melepasi quota untuk bertanding jawatan Ketua Pemuda UMNO Malaysia. Ramai tidak menjangka Dato Mukhriz dapat mencapai quota dalam tempoh yang singkat. Boleh dikatakan semua orang menjangkakan KJ akan mendahului kerana kedudukannya sebagai Naib Ketua Pemuda berbanding Dato Mukhriz yang hanya Exco Pemuda. Jelas Pemuda sudah mula BERANI BERUBAH.
Kita tunggu sehingga semua bahagian selesai menjalankan mesyuaratnya pada 9hb Nov.08 nanti. Saya yakin KJ dan Dato Khir akan dapat melepasi quota bagi melayakkan diri untuk bertanding jawatan Ketua Pemuda.
Harapan kita semua agar pertandingan dijalankan dengan bersih tanpa wang sogokan. Keikhlasan, kebaikan dan kejujuran seseorang pemimpin dapat dinilai melalui tindak tanduknya dari sekarang sehingga pemilihan nanti. Seseorang calun yang menawarkan wang ringgit untuk mendapatkan undi bukan pemimpin yang baik, yang ikhlas dan yang jujur. Setiap sen yang dibelanjakan olehnya merupakan pelaburan untuk mendapatkan ganjaran yang lebih besar untuknya.
INGAT setiap wakil mempunyai tanggungjawab memilih pemimpin yang rajin, jujur dan ikhlas yang bersedia berkhidmat untuk Agama, Bangsa dan Negara. TOLAK sahaja pemimpin yang rasuah. Mereka adalah perosak Agama, Bangsa dan Tanahair.
Salam sejahtera Tun. Semoga Tun berada didalam sihat walafiat.AMIN!

Pembangunan struktur haram menjadi isu di negeri-negeri pantai barat terutamanya di negeri Selangor Darul Ehsan dan Negeri Sembilan Darul Khusus. Isu ini jika tidak ditangani dengan segera mengikut lunas undang-undang mungkin boleh menjadi barah dan mencetuskan pertelingkahan di antara kaum yang berlainan agama.
Tidakkah ada undang-undang mengenai pencerobohan tanah milik kerajaan. Dan mengapa undang-undang ini tidak digunapakai dengan sewajarnya bagi menangani masalah ini.
Di negara ini nampaknya sesiapa sahaja boleh membangunkan apa-apa jenis/bentuk/struktur di mana-mana tanah lapang yang bukan milik mereka. Selepas beberapa tahun kemudian mereka akan mula pula menuntut bahawa bidang tanah itu adalah milik mereka. Dan jika tindakan diambil oleh pihak yang berkuasa untuk menuntut kembali tanah yang diduduki secara haram itu orang-orang ini akan menyalahkan kerajaan sebagai tidak adil dan menuntut pula supaya dibela dan ramailah NGO-NGO dan ahli-ahli politik nyamuk yang akan mengambil kesempatan kononnya memperjuangkan nasib rakyat yang ditindas.
Mengapakah ini terus berlaku dan mengapakah sesiapa sahaja boleh dengan sewenang-wenangnya menceroboh tanah milik kerajaan?
Undang-undang pencerobohan adalah berat tetapi mengapa tidak digunapakai. Nampaknya seperti lazim bukannya kerana kekurangan akta atau undang-undang tetapi yang menjadi masalah ialah perlaksanaannya.
Sangatlah tidak munasabah mereka yang menceroboh harta milik orang lain kemudiannya dengan berani menuntut supaya mereka diberi ganti rugi dalam bentuk kewangan dan juga sebidang tanah yang lain sebagai ganti supaya mereka boleh membangunkan semula struktur yang dibina dengan haram yang telah dirobohkan.
Sepatutnya sesiapa sahaja yang menceroboh hak milik orang lain tidak dimaafkan dan dikenakan tindakan yang keras. Hanya ini sahaja cara yang sesuai untuk menangani masalah ini. Bukannya negara Malaysia tidak mempunyai undang-undang.
Yg Bhg Tun,
kami komen seribu kali sampai kurang tidor pun tak guna.Penting sekali orang2 yg akibatkan masaalah untok negara dan ekonomi mau bertanggung jawab.PM pun dah janji mau selesai tugas mengenai “reform” untok ACA,Anggota Polis dan Sistem Kehakiman Negara.Jadi kami sabar saja tunggu dia urus lah.Kalau dia mampu dia pasti boleh.Malaysia boleh!!
Tun jangan khuatir banyak.Nanti Tun tak puas hati dgn semua “issue”

Salam,
hi ..reader ..nape ar ..tanya saya ke?
saya seperti juga majoriti blogger di sini rasanya telah dibesarkan oleh UMNO dan BN.. walau apa sya tetap setia .. sya tak mengundi pada PRU lepas kerana ..tak dapat pangkah BN ..sedih sgt ..
Rasa nya dpt teka jwapan saya kan.
When someone told me Tun was irrelevant sometime back when the UMNO goons(like Nazri etc) were firing blank , I told them you know next to nuts about Tun. I told them I have watched Tun for 22 years as a PM. The man is not known to be a loser (a blessing for Malaysia) .He fights his war. He always wins. True enough with last week’s announcement by Lameduck we saw the winner again. I don’t mind subordinates supporting a boss; universal due to loyalty etc. But why support a non performing boss? A boss who puts 27 million peoples livehood at stake. So disappointed with this UMNO goons. They all claim they care for the rakyat. And at the same time support and keep this lameduck in office at the expense of 27m million rakyat’s livehood. In future minimum requirement for UMNO supreme council members- must go thru simple IQ test on intelligence.
We need a strong govt. who is:
1. Competent
2. Bersih
3. Cekap; and most of all
4. AMANAH.
However, the above was ONLY a slogan and was not really practiced. They talk the talk but not walk the walk b’cos a strong government become big headed and absolute power CORRUPTS absolutely.
Therefore, what we really need is a strong opposition for check & balance to ensure that the government in power are really working for the country and nation and not for their own self.
Assalamualaikum Tun yang dikasihi,
On the 8th of Oktober my family and I attended a function at your office in Putrajaya. I thank Allah for answering my prayer. I wanted so much to attend your Aidil Fitri open house on the 5th but couldn’t make it due to my neighbour’s marriage on the same day.
During your short speech, you mentioned about one particular person at your table who make a lot of noise.He happened to be a close friend of my late father. That man stood up and shouted “I LOVE YOU” and you answered back “I LAB U 2” followed by a laughter from the audience including me of course. That was a very enjoyable evening to me.
Then came photography and signing autograph session. I introduced myself by telling Tun that I used to pass comment in his blog. Tun acknowledged by telling me that he remembered the name. That answered my question as to whether Tun read all the comments in his blog.
Thank you Tun.
Dear Tun,
I would like to take us all back on a journey of sorts back to the days before the Prophethood of Muhammad (SAW). Let us look at his story in terms of of our own today.
Makkah as it still is today was hit by floods. But in this particular year the flood much like the 8th of March 2008 destroyed the unifying glory of all Makkah. The Kaabah was destroyed. Malaysia was destroyed and brought to its knees.
The Kaabah was not only the centre of religious activity by also the KLCC symbol of economic prowess of Makkah.
The Leaders of Makkah came together to rebuild their destroyed centre at Ground Zero.
But when it came to putting back the Holy Rock- the Hajarul Aswad back to its rightful place, the Honour to do so was fought over tooth and nail. What is our Hajarul Aswad- the 2/3 majority? the constitution? Jalur Gemilang? the august intitutions of their Majesties? Parliament? Judiciary?
The Leaders of Makkah agreed to appoint the first next person to enter the Holy Mosque. As we are made to believe luck would have it Muhammad made his entrance. I do not believe however if a beggar were to enter the Holy Mosque, the leaders of Makkah would have counted him as “the first next person to enter the Holy Mosque”. The hand of God notwithstanding.
Muhammad was a person of upright character. The trusted one. Al-amin.
He was the man who it was not beyond him to lay his “head dress” or “serban” down on the ground to place the Holy Rock over it. Who is it now who will lay his head down for the Holy Rock of Malaysia. Who is it now that the People of Malaysia will accept to lead them.
He whose serban was together lifted by the Leader of Makkah to return the Holy Rock.
Tun, I put it to you that we all need to lay our serbans down, no matter how large our heads may be to return the Holy Rock to its rightful place. Whatever that Holy Rock now is to us.
Dear Ayahanda Tun Mahathir and Father Of Malaysia,
Sir,
This is my 2nd time commenting on your blog. The 1st time i commented on your’Balik Kampung’posting.
‘WOW’….What a wonderfull writing Sir…!!!!! you are rite, we definitely need a strong Govt to run the country…Honestly, we once had that Govt (strong and GREAT PM)and that was during your 22yrs as PM for Malaysia when nobody questioned the Unity of BN nor UMNO or even the component parties…There were some issues during your time to which most people would not have agreed which i won’t deny as well but however at the END OF THE DAY, most of the people were extremely satisfied with the result and not forgetting the WORLD was always watching your WAY of running the country and how MALAYSIA grew under a LEADER called DR MAHATHIR MOHAMED…
I read on of the comments posted by…….and he addressed you as ‘KUKU BESI’…Well, my advise to the commenter, pls find another blog to leave your comments and remember, it was the ‘KUKU BESI’ LEADER whom brought Malaysia to where we are now and and not your current so called PM…..AND do not compare TUN with LKY Singapore coz whitout TUN’s firm standing against Singapore, we would be a ‘YES MAN’or perhaps bowing our head to Singaporean…If you are so much in love with LKY, by all means, leave Mlaysia and migrate to Singapore to be with your LKY…
Dear Ayahanda TUN,
A STRONG LEADER is born by NATURE
A STRONG LEADER is born with CARRISMA
A STRONG LEADER is born with CHARMS
A STRONG LEADER is born with VISIONS
A STRONG LEADER is born with LOVE
This GOD GIFTED LEADER was born for MALAYSIA and am proud to say,THE LEADER is TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD..!!!
Sir,
Just wondering with our new PM (in making), where he will lead Malaysia or is he going to follow the same footsteps of DSAAB..My instinct says,TS MUYIDDIN would be a better choice as PM and of course your adorable SON, DATUK MUKHRIZ as his DEPUTY (AND FUTURE PM OF MALAYSIA AND LET THE ERA OF MAHATHIR CONTINUE).
Lastly, i loved the way you posed for an interview in THE STAR newspaper very recently…your stylish and rugged look was superb Sir..and your comments was indeed ‘sharp’and ‘hot’….love to see more of your interviews in newspaper or media….
Well Sir, i got to continue with my work and taking this opportunity, i would like to pray for your good HEALTH and GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FOREVER.
With lotS of luv,
PJEE@Praba (JB)
salam tun,semoga sihat selalu..
diharapkan tun dapat membantu dibawah kepimpinan dato sri najib nanti setelah beliau ditabalkan sebagai president dan perdana menteri malaysia,dengan pengalaman tun diharapkan dapat membantu kepimpinan dato najib bagi mengembalikan semula kepercayaan rakyat terhadap BN dan UMNO,dan sekali gus berjaya menawan kembali negeri-negeri yang di perintah oleh pembangkang,kami menderita tun berada dlm negeri-negeri dibwh kuasa pembangkang ini. rasa mcm tak boleh bernafas dibuatnya…surau,masjid,PBT dijadikan gelanggang kerakusan dan ketamakkan mereka-mereka yang tidak bertanggujawab…
saya menghargai jasa dan pengorbanan tun selama manjadi perdana menteri dulu dan ingin mnegucapkan terima kasih kepada tun.
Salam Ayahanda Tun. I am deeply concerned about the ruling made against DYTM Tuanku Jaâafar of Negeri Sembilan by the Special Court of Malaysia. At this very utmost critical time in the saga of Malay, we need our Malay Rulers more than ever, without them we are doomed. They have proven their significance while times like now, when we have a pathetically elected PM and government to upkeep and protect the Malay interest. Something has to be done to review or reverse this far too wide sweeping power bestowed onto one legal entity, some curtailment in common law, along with the law of Adat dan Istiadat must be found.
Dear Tun!
The 2nd last commentator on your blog by the name of DR REZUAN! One wonders if he is actually a doctor! You know why? Despicable English!!! Or is he a “mad doctor”? Left to the imagination, right!!!
Das
tun,
i dont agree GERAKAN giving the title BABA DEMOKRASI to pak lah. how about if we give him the title BABA MERTUA KHAIRI? make sense isn’t it?
Assalamualikum Tun
Sebelum ape2 SELAMAT HARI RAYA kepada Tun sekeluarga, harap sihat sejahtera.
Pemimpin yang ade pada masa kini terlalu lemah,sehingga saya merasakan orang melayu semakin ditekan oleh bangsa2 lain. kerajaan sedia ade pada masa kini terlalu menjaga hati bangsa lain yang mewakili parti komponen BN kerana terlalu takut kepada provokasi yang dilakukan oleh pembangkang untuk menggulingkan kerajaan. kesudahannya, ada yang dikenakan tindakkan seperti yang terjadi di pulau pinang. Sekarang ini sudah ramai orang mahu mengeluarkan kenyataan yang berbaur pembelaan terhadap kaum meraka. Malah, ade parti gabungan BN sediri menyuarakan mereka ditindas oleh UMNO. Persoalan yang timbul, kenapa Individu terbabit tidak dikenakan tindakan seperti yang berlaku di Pulau Pinang adakan orang pemimpin melayu berasa senang hati dengan kenyataan tersebut.
Pada Waktu ini Kerajaan sedang berhadapan dengan pembangkang yang bijak dalam mengatur perancangan politik mereka. mereka mengetahui kerajaan sekarang mudah terpengaruh dengan kenyataan yang mereka keluarkan. dengan perancangan dan provokasi yang baik mereka menyaksikan kesilapan dilakukan oleh kerajaan dan menambahkan lagi peluang mereka untuk meyakin rakyat bahawa BN sekarang tidak lagi bersesuian dengan masyarakan berbilang kaum di Malaysia dan meraka lah yang layak untuk memerintah negara.
Keputusan PM ABB untuk berundur sedikit sebanyak melegakan saya mungkin juga bagi orang lain. Tetapi pengantinya juga mempunyai skandal yang meragukan orang ramai. senario politik mungkin akan bertambah baik selepas peralihan kuasa ini dan mungkin juga membahayakan UMNO sediri. Terpulang kepada rakyat untuk menilainya
Tun…
Actually i have 1 question for you…..
As we know everyone will target Najib will be a PM & maybe Muhyiddin
will be DPM … maybe they are good couple to change our perception today to our government… but if they cannot make any improvement..
did you see any leader that can make some changes to our government..
and then what will they do to make some improvement
maybe, your time was over right… but can you still give us some
opinion to make this over.. maybe to say something is easy..
but to make it is very hard… i hope u can understand what i mean
juz now… we cannot see the future but maybe we can plan from now on
like u before this how can you plan something that we cannot imagine… what it could be…
i need to learn something from u,
Assalamualikum Tun,
Selamat hari raya diucapkan kepada Tun sekeluarga… semoga panjang umur dan murah rezeki…
Saya amat merindukan zaman pemerintahan Tun di mana Tun bersikap tegas terhadap anasir2 yg cuba memporak-perandakan kerajaan malaysia…
Hi Tun,
Just wanted to say Hi. Waiting for the next article.
As for JJJ i made my point, stupid as stupid does.
Dear Tun,
1. Absolutely yes, we need a strong and efficient gov.
2. Harga minyak dunia sudah turun, harga getah juga turun, tapi harga barang local tak akan turun punya. Itu hari masa Pak Lah naikkan harga minyak, harga getah mahal hingga RM4 plus /kg. Secara tak langsung, ia jadi cushion utk penoreh getah mcm kami utk absorb kos barang asasi yg melambung. Tp hari ni harga getah dah jatuh bawah RM2 /kg dan sebelah utara pulak hari2 hujan hu..hu..hu..
Era Pak Lah tidak memerlukan Strong Government, tapi lebih kepada Rich Leader in (RM). lihat saja gelagat pemilihan UMNO. Persengketaan masa kini berebut jawatan ketua cawangan, ketua bahagian dan perwakilan yang tiada gajipun bukannya untuk membentuk strong government, tapi akan weaken the government. Kenapa tidak?
Teknik perebutan begitu melalut hingga menggunakan matlamat menghalalkan cara :
1). memegang jawatan Ketua bahagian dan perwakilan menjadi mata pencarian lumayan.
2) bahagian dan cawangan mana yang nak dibatalkan sekiranya tidak selari arah pencalonannya.
3) menggantung keahlian mereka yang dijangka mencalonkan orang yang tidak walaupun belum terbukti keslaahan. Sekadar menghalang iini dari bertanding.
4) memalsukan keahlian cawangan supaya dapat menjadi calon ketua bahagian. Mungkin ada jockey di Ibu Pejabat UMNO.
5) JK Disiplin UMNO sekadar boneka dan alat menghukum ahli yang mungkin tidak selari pencalonannya. Ahli dipanggil berbual sekadar 5 minit tanap peluang membela diri tetapi esoknya keluar surat penggantungan. Keputusan sudah dibuat lebih awal
Akhirnya kita Dapat Half Past Eight Government.
By the way, gelaran Bapa Demokrasi tak sesuai dan tak layak langsung. Gelaran yang patut adalah Pengerusi JKKK (Jean, Khairy, Kamaludin , Kalimullah)
Dear Tun and fellow bloggers,
Glad that the fuel price is down again. However , effects will only be felt if other consumer good’s price follows to reduce in tandem with it.I doubt this will happen.
This kind of administration clearly shows how weak our goverment in making the decision to raise the petrol price previously and giving back rebates . This only increases wastages of our taxpayer’s money in administration the up and down of the fuel price.Don’t forget that the goverment still need to pay commisions ot POS MALAYSIA for doing this job.The goverment has still not let us know the formula for thier calculation as promised by our honourable Dato Shahrir.
From the star newspaper,
The Government will announce on Monday new measures to strengthen the economy to withstand the global economic crisis, said Finance Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
– The question is , why so late? This really worries me.
– New measures? What are the old measures ? Never had one!Just monitor the situation and employing housewife to go and check on the price of goods in the market.
To PAK BELALANG,
You r definitely right to say that If UMNO were to be relevant to Malays, they have to do drastic change, no contract should be given to the division head & branch level who have busines interest. Contract should be fairly distributed to those who qualify on merit and this is not the case. Yes, bring in those professionals, academicians to join the party and don’t ever sideline the Malay majority especially the younger educated ones and those who are not UMNO members. UMNO needs to bow to the people’s power. do not not underestimate the people’s power like in the case of Marcos brought down by the famous PEOPLE’S POWER.
in order for a business organisation or political organization to survive they have to change according to the environment.OTHERWISE THEY WILL CEASE TO PERSIST & EXIST.
Dearest Tun,
Probably one of your most hardcore fan you’ll ever find. Just got to register after reading your blog for sometime. You’ll hear my comments from here on whenever I get in. But be rest assured it’ll all be positive as for me I’ve never seen a leader with such charisma in my life before. I know I’ll never see another of your calibre again.Why I name myself Lameduck- I guess you know.I’m not one but I like it when you used it last week….
Salam Tun.
Selamat Hari Raya sekali lagi 🙂
1. Yes we indeed need strong goverment. The only crisis we have in the country, at least what majority of people seeing is about political unstability but soon without we know it the tsunami of world economic crisis will hit us soon.
2. If we do have weak goverment, we all will be eaten alive by this merciless force.
3. Rumours said when Najib being PM, he will be Tun’s boneka on governing the country. But I dont care, Tun is the best PM ever in the history. Not only respected by Malaysian, but also respected by people from 3rd countries.
4. It is true, I had once dine at one of Somalian restaurants 2 years ago when I was still a student at US. When I told the people I’m from Malaysia, they all asked me about Tun and how they admire Tun. That time I can say that I a little bit shocked as they know about Tun more than I do. Shame me huhu.
5. So with Tun’s wisdom, hopefully we will all can enjoy the peacefulness and at the same time, can give hands on countries that needed hands and help.

pak lah harus berundur segera demi menyelamatkan UMNO dan BN…
Kita perlu melihat kejayaan sesebuah negara bukan sekadar kerajaan yang memerintah. Pemilihan pemimpin yang berwibawa, mempunyai akhlak yang terpuji dan sentiasa bercakap benar walaupun dalam politik dibenarkan bercakap ‘bohong’ atau ‘berhelah’. Kita boleh bercakap apa sahaja tetapi kebenaran itu ibarat matahari yang kadangkala diselindungi oleh awan yang berarak. Apa pun kita perlu mencari formula sebenar dengan mendekati rakyat kerana pemimpin juga berasal dari rakyat maka mereka harus peka dengan kehendak rakyat. Pembangkang memmainkan peranan yang penting dalam memastikan ada ketelusan di dalam sistem pemerintahan demokrasi. Tetapi senario poltik Malaysia melabelkan pembangkang sebagai ‘anti-kerajaan’ adalah punca utama kegagalan kerajaan yang ada masa kini. Kita menjadi angkuh dan sombong menerima teguran dan kritikan yang membina. Namun masih belum lagi terlambat. Banyak perkara perlu diperbetulkan. Kuasa ada ditangan kita gunakan sebaik-baik sebelum ia terlepas ke tangan orang lain. Wallahu’alam.
Dear Tun, salam Aidilfitri sekeluarga. Izinkan.
5 PMs
Mâsia already has a strong govt. We have 5 Prime Ministers. PM in acting, PM in training, PM in waiting, PM in dreaming and last one(which no other country has) PM In HIDING! Pak Lah, Najib, Anwar, Ku Li dan Siapa lagi..!
Satu sudah potong line(offline), satu tengah masuk line (online), satu tak ada line (no line), satu terkeluar (out of line), yang akhir tu kena SIDELINE!
Lumba Jawatan
Sepatutnya dgn lima PM kerajaan kuat tapi dia orang sibuk bercakar bukan membantu. Sedangkan Pas Dap boleh bekerjasama ini pula 5 orang sama parti (ada satu tunggu masuk parti). Nak ikut formula Sabah Tun, bergilir jadi PM baru puas?
Ambil cara Pas Dap, agree on differences and work on common interests.Bukan yang berlaku,agree to destroy work on a common ploy!
Dear Tun,
I would like to quote a passage from Dr Mohd Asri Zainal Abidin’s website from a article titled “Apabila Ketamakan Menguasai Jiwa” as follow;
” Namun mungkin masa tidak menyebelahinya, walaupun hasratnya baik untuk membaiki kepincangan politik. Sehari dua ini, parti yang dimasukinya sibuk membuat mencalonan jawatan itu dan ini, dan dia juga mencuba nasib untuk jawatan ketua pemuda di suatu bahagian tertentu. Dalam mesejnya itu, setelah menyatakan parti yang dimasukinya tidak sesuai lagi untuk orang sepertinya, dia menyebut: âSaya kalah kepada lawan yang tidak lulus SPM, kerja penyeludup beras dan bekas penagih ubat batuk hanya kerana wang. Dia diongkosi oleh Ketua Bahagian yang melihat saya sebagai ancaman. Jawatan parti hari ini adalah jawatan yang disandang berasaskan siapa yang dapat membida harga tertinggi bukan siapa yang berkualiti dan mahu berbaktiâ. ”
The autenticity of the story was not supported. However, if this is the case with the UMNO divisions we sincerely hope that it is not wide spread!!!
In any event UMNO needs to put a stop to such things with ZERO tolerance to such practices.
We need competent people (leaders) in all the UMNO divisions.
How can we do it. No choice but to use draconian methods and covert exercises. Not that we do not trust the people but we need to draw the line between the accepted action and behaviours and the NOT acceptable actions and behaviours.
What do yo think Tun?
Assalamualaikum,
Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri,
Ketika ini tidak ada pemimpin yang kuat. Ini pendapat saya; BN nampak tidak kuat dan ia sememangnya tidak kuat ketika ini, manakalai pembangkang nampak sedang semakin kuat dan pada hakikatnya ia parti yang kuat ketika ini.
Rakyat menilai dari sudut dibawah;
Next posible PM dari BN
-dikaitakan dengan kes mahkamah
-dikatakan mempunyai bini yang mempunyai profil yang diragui
-dikaitkan dengan skandal pembelian kapal selam, helikopter dan mcm-mcm lagi.
-dikaitakn dengan master Ji dalam menentukan takdir pejalanan hidupnya.
-pernah memimpin kerajaan negeri, pelbagai skandal-skandal wang dan rasuah dikaitkan(rakyat pahang lebih tahu)
-dikaitkan dengan kemusnahan pembangunan melayu di felda(rakyat felda lebih tahu)
-mempunyai penasihat/peguam half islam half hindu.(yang juga merupakan peguam BN)
-sanggup mengangkat sumpah di masjid dalam kata lain mempermainkan agama islam( rakyat beragama islam lebih mengetahui)
-agama islamnya diragui.
Next posible PM dari pembangkang
-dikatakan mempunyai karisma
-dikatakan dibuang oleh kerajaan sebelumnya dengan tuduhan yang gagal dibuktikan. Tuduhan rasuahnya pula menjadi satu persoalan rakyat, hampir semua pemimpin BN rasuah tapi tidak ada pula yang di kenakan sehebat beliau.
-dikatakan mempunyai pemikiran yang tajam.
-dikaitkan dengan kes liwat, yang mana bercanggah dengan pemeriksaan seorang Doktor. Tun pun seorang Dr bukan?apa kata Tun yang check.(hampir semua rakyat mengetahui)
-dikatakan lebih mengenal agama dari BN next PM.
-dikatakan lebih toleransi.
-beliau dikatakan memaparkan kehendak rakyat dan suara rakyat
Jadi secara keseluruhannya rakyat menilai dari sudut sudut diatas namun senarai yang ada boleh dikatakan sangat kecil semada bagi pihak BN mahu pun pembangkang. Tapi dari pihak BN, kalau tun jadi sertai UMNO semula, saya rasa Tun sewajarnya tidak mengenepikan apa yang telah saya senaraikan. Sebab itu yang rakyat sedang nampak, samaada Tun memilih untuk menukat orang atau memilih untuk mencorakkan balik imej next pm dengan kuasa media itu terpulang, kedua-dua jalan banyak keburukannya.
Hanya menyampaikan pendapat rakyat
“Yesterday is history,Tomorrow is mystery,Today is a gift. That’s why its called the present”
TUN IS HISTORY,PAK LAH IS THE PRESENT.IS HE A GIFT FOR MALAYSIAN?
HONESTLY SPEAKING,HE IS A BIG JOKE FOR THE TIME BEING.HE EARNED NO RESPECT FROM INSIDE NOR OUTSIDE UMNO/BN.
AND YES TOMORROW AND THE FUTURE IS STILL A BIG MYSTERY.WHOEVER THE PRIME MINISTER OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA,WE NEED A STRONG CHARACTER,A CHARM OF A GREAT LEADER.

Sir,
It is obvious that for any government to function effectively regardless of the system of governance, it must be strong in every sense of the word. It also must be loved and trusted by the people it governs and not be feared and suspected as such. A firm as well as tactful leader is needed to lead such a government. Do we have such leaders at present? I guess we have to wait and see what DS Najib has to show for that. Hope is all we have left.
Dear Tun,
In reference to the latest sms text linking Datuk Najib to political interference into Mongolian murder and subsequent lack of strong rebuke from Datuk Najib, please state your position:
1. Does Tun agree Datuk Najib stated private message is an admission of true existence of the sms text?
2. Hence does Tun agree that a public clarification is required about the undenied existence of the sms text by Datuk Najib?
3. Without a clarification in public by Datuk Najib on the sms text, Tun as the de facto quality controller of next generations of premiers in Malaysia has to take a stand. If Tun rebuke a premier who demolish bridge and train but side a candidate premier who will rebuild “bridge and train”, then Tun will be doing injustice to Malaysia. Tun’s strong comment as a stateman on on this will indicate if the public will listen to Tun in future.
Thank you.
Han Sa Ba
salam ,yes we need strong,brilliant,clean and responsible government.
Dear Tun, sy bukan org politik tapi bila dengar cerita2 politik ni banyak tak baik drp yg baik…macam org kelantan kata politik cah keting,tikam belakang dll.
sy baru saja terima email yg diforwardkan oleh kenalan dgn membawa tajuk ‘rasuah najib kepada pak lah’ mengenai pembelian helicopter untuk mengganti pesawat nuri yg ‘out dated’ itu,ianya 5 helai dan kononya di tulis serta di tandatangani oleh kapten
zahar hashim selaku pengerusi mentari services.
pasal alter2 document atau gambar dah memang menjadi kepakaran org sekarang ,pelajar sekolah menengah pun pandai buat jika di tunjuk ajar..tetapi boleh tun komen pasal itu. seingat saya dulu ,Tun di fitnah dengan surat dokumen rasmi kepada PM israel yg minta dana (rasuah) untuk pilihanraya dan surat itu nampak asli(dlm internet jer..) serta ada cop jabatan perdana menteri sekali dan ditandatangani oleh Tun . lepas itu surat2 dari bank2 israel yg menyenaraikan harta tun dan anak2 yg ber puluh2 juta di bank israel pun dah di sebarkan…kreatif betul otak manusia penanggal ni yer!
sy cuba search siapa mentari group services ni..ada keluar cuma sykt logistik di indonesia..dan rupanya artikel itu disiarkan di satu blog yg sy sertakan alamat nya disini;
http://blog4pro.blogspot.com/2008/10/purchase-scandal-of-eurocopter-to.html
dunia politik malaysia semakin kotor dan sy rasa pembangkang2 hardcore yg rata2nya manisfesto mereka kerap disokong golongan yg mendabik dada sebagai ‘bangsa malaysia’tanpa mahu mengakui susur galur asal mereka w/p sudah mmpunyai keistemewaan dan kesenangan disini sekian lama.
pembangkang2 ini akan terus menerus mencari idea kreatif untuk menenggelamkan kapal BN atau parti melayu UMNO yg berdekad usianya itu.
ramai pemimpin sekarang hanya mengejar kedudukan, pangkat dan harta dunia semata2. cakap jer nak perjuang hak rakyat dsb…tapi semuanya dusta shj…
mereka sanggup musnahkan masa depan negara dan nasib rakyat asalkan mereka dapat berkuasa dan hidup seperti raja..
bukan nak tolong rakyat bila berkuasa malah di perhambakan jua…
apalah nasib menjadi rakyat di bumi bertuah ini…semuanya tamak dan haloba …
sejarah tak akan lupa ‘jasa’ Pak Lah yg melingkupkan bangsa…
Do we need a strong Govt? The answer is Big YES.
However a strong Govt need a strong team leader.
Since 2004 we had not had one.
What we have are those ‘yes man’ even the step taken by the Govt is wrong. They tick right to the wrong just to pleased a leader. How sad this could happen after Malaysian education standard has been brought up and gave birth to so many bright and intelligent people.
The Country became upside down. The Rakyat got so confused. The Opposition became stronger and thus weaken further the Govt.
My prayers are get rid of the team leader, sidelined all of’yes man’ in the Cabinet and start to put the right thing in the right place.
If the Rakyat have enough pocket money, the Government will emerged strong again.
Haiya….
I wrote a comments nearly an hour last night, BUT it didn’t appears today. However, I would like to comments a bit about Pak Lah. Amongst all of our Prime Minister, I do shake hands with Pak Lah at Senai, Johor Bahru Airport. I didn’t have the opportunity to shake hands with previous Prime Ministers, Chief Ministers and other Ministers (except Sulaiman Daud, YB Daud of Sarawak). It was back in early 1990’s when he was in the office as Menteri Luar (if not mistaken) heading to Jakarta for official/unofficial visit. With respect, he qued up by himself just behind me to buy a ticket, and not overtaking the ques or used his priviledge as Minister to jumped the que. I do respect him!
He is a very nice guy BEFORE a demon (Khairy Jamaluddin) jump into his life. The brother of Satanic Verses Author, Khairy did change him a lot from being a GOOD people with a good image to become a very lousy and powerless person. BUT still he is not a BAD person. I really pity him. As what peoples says, “he is a wrong person at a right time” during Tun announcing his retirement. The same quotation might also goes to DSN though (before hand, his wife appearance might be a disastrous type – don’t let her monopolise everything, sealed her mouth with tapes).
Let bygone be bygone, after March 2009, we want to see Tun and Pak Lah can seat together as a mentor to DSN, I think DSN needs both of you to built up a strong nation. Or even, can seat together with DSI or Nik Aziz, to strenghten the Malays power. The paces of hatred must be eradicated. If the TOP KHALIFAH can seat toghether in peace, the rakyat applaud with joy and happiness. Our real challenges in this globalization era shall be put as a major threat, NOT accusing each other of being mind corrupted and hatred. I cut my fingers, in still the red blood appears. And same goes to Tun, everyone, anyone regardless their religion, race and deeds. Our ancestors are of one root, that is ADAM and EVE. And we should treat human as human. ALLAHUAKHBAR.

Personally I think you still have much influence on Malaysian thinking, when you mentioned that you are not impressed with Najib performance as a DPM, don’t you think that you are potraying BN as a party with no credible leader. The word “joker” is also another sign (to my perception) that BN is no longger a good deal for Malaysian. Any comment?
Talking about weak government, ada satu incident berlaku di bulan Ramadahan baru-baru ini. Saya tinggal di Ipoh dan di penghujung Ramadan para pengikut Kerajaan baru boleh dikatakan selalu sembahyang berjemaah di dataran berdekatan Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh. Masjid Negeri begitu tersergam indah dan fully air-cond lagi, tetapi masih ramai yang “selesa” berjemaah di dataran termasuk MB Perak. Nak dijadikan cerita, tiba-tiba jemaah yang selalu berjemaah di situ telah pindah pula untuk berjemaah di masjid Kampong Tengku Hussein Baru dan atas alasan apa???? MEREKA DIARAHKAN BERPINDAH BERJEMAAH KE KAMPONG TENGKU HUSSEIN BARU KERANA DATARAN TERSEBUT HENDAK DIGUNAKAN OLEH DAP UNTUK MEMBUAT KONSERT??? APA SUDAH JADI MB PERAK?? CAKAP TERLAU LANTANG TETAPI MACAM TIKUS MUNDUK BILA DIARAHKAN DAP UNTUK BEREDAR??? LEWAT MALAM ITU PULA, PAGAR MBI DLANGGAR OLEH ORANG MABUK YANG HADIR DI KONSERT ITU, YB DAP PULA MERAYU PADA PIHAK MBI SUPAYA JANGAN DIHEBOHKAN PERKARA INI, NAK SETTLE SECARA BAIK DI LUAR KUNUNNYA…INI LAH DIA KERAJAAN BARU DI PERAK, MEMANG BETUL KATA ORANG, MB PERAK HANYA PUPPET…
Salam Sejahtera Tun..
Lebih 30 tahun dulu masa saya budak mentah lagi, saya bersalaman dengan Tun di rumah terbuka Hari Raya.. dan semalam saya mengulaginya.. Terasa bangga yang amat sangat bila dapat bersalaman dengan Tun semalam.. yaaaaaahuuu… “ana sudah kena loteri lah…”
Tun masih kacak lagi dan masih relavan sebagai seorang pemimpin.. mempunyai aura yang tersendiri.. sentiasa tersenyum.. sedekah yang sentiasa di berikan..
Selepas ini harap-harap Kerajaan dapat usulkan Jawatan Penasihat kepada Tun.. kekuatan yang perlu ada pada sesebuah negara.. Yang akan menggantikan Pak Lah tu.. buangkan rasa EGO.. kerana kami di didik dengan WAWASAN 2020.. habiskan wawasan kami dulu, tak payah tak payah mengada-ngada nak buat wawasan lain..
Wassalam..

I totally agree of the article written above, but please allow me to add further.
in regards to a strong government, i believe it is also important to have a strong opposition. as we all noe that monopoly is never a good thing, this can be said for the political parties as well.
although BN has in most cases bring prosperity to the people, the lack of a powerful opposition who are capable of threatening BN’s position will only led to misuse of power, which is already not new to this country.
therefore, i believe it is of the upmost importance to have a strong opposition, along with a strong competent government in order to set things straight, of course assuming the opposition have a good intention of leading the country towards a more prosperous and peaceful place to live.
this is juz in case the present government are incompetent to fulfill its role. a back up or something to fall back on, they say
cheers
A’kum Tun!
Wajarkah Pak Lah di berikan gelaran “Bapak Demokrasi”?
Yang pasti beliau adalah “Bapak Mertua KJ”
Komen sikit!
Yg berbahagia Tun and fellow readers,
My response to dospenang on October 13, 2008 10:17 PM
“TUN, why don’t you focus more on.. why don’t you arrange an appointment with .. why don’t our government assemble advisory council ..Your experience is much needed to help .. Hope our country would be .. “ yadaa..yadaa ..etc and etc !
The main question is this:
“Why the current government are so arrogant, dumb, useless, that they refuse to listen to Tun at the first place?”
If they’ve listened, this beloved country might be better, at least not the way as it is now.
You ask too many questions, that no matter how Tun trying to explain and give lots of ideas and solution, ‘THEY’ ..this arrogant and useless regime wont listen!
The only solution is this : Pak Lah must resign NOW. UMNO must change. Government must start listening.
Only when they start to listen, brilliant idea would come and benefited the country.
The sad story is this,.. Pak Lah is still sleeping. The greedy ‘Pembodek’ still got their shares, but rakyat still suffer and cant do anything!
We don’t really need a strong government which will eventually deprive us of the civil liberties and human rights that we the peace-loving citizens deserve. What we truly need is an effective checks-and-balances system of the Government so that no practice of selective prosecution will be conducted by the Executive Branch of the Government in order to protect the Executive Leader’s selfish interest. Fair Trial and Due Process of Law are the essence of the Judicial Branch of the Government and we will see true democracy only after a strong Judicial Branch of the Government can be materialised in order to protect the basic human rights of the ordinary citizens.
A strong Executive Leader is likely to turn himself into a tyrant once his authoritative power status has been unseemingly challenged or defied. The tyrant will tend to abuse the draconian law such as the Internal Security Act (ISA) or Sedition Act much more often in order to ensure that he can continue to stay in power for a much longer term.
However, a strong Chief Justice is deemed to be able to rescue or protect the ordinary citizens from being tortured, deprived, discriminated, or ill-treated by the government officers from the Executive Branch of the Government, which include the Police Officers and the Income Tax Officers.
What the Malaysians need now is a strong Chief Justice who will judge fairly and impartially in lawsuit cases without fear or favour, but not a strong Prime Minister who will simply put someone to the ISA detention camp when his personal integrity has been shamefully or shakingly intimidated by a political challenge.
ermm… saya sebagai generasi muda dn generasi masa depan akn trus menyanjungi tun.. krn tun, malaysia berjaya dn terkenal di seantero dunia.. saya berharap agar anwar ibrahim akn trus kempunan utk menjd p.m krn saya langsung tdk mempercayainya.. ttp syng krna ramai anak2 muda sprt saya yng termakan akan kata2 dustanya.. saya berharap anak tun, iaitu datuk mukhriz akn kembali menarik minat anak2 muda kluar drpd penaruh kotor anwar.. idup tun..

Dear Tun!
After 50 years of Independence, this is what we have come to? But I must add by saying that and this is INDEED an achievement, despite the “jungle behaviour”, “stone age behaviour” of some prominent UMNO politicians in raising the racial temperatures during the recent by election, the Rakyat (Malaysians in general) did not take to the streets like their forefathers did during the 1969 racial riots! For this and this alone, my salutations and prosterations to our Rakyat!!! As for those “in high places”, I have this to say – PLEASE GO BACK TO SCHOOL and learn your ABCs!!! Clean your own backyards before preaching because after 50 years, the Rakyat has grown up somewhat, but these goons in comfortable air conditioned offices have a very, very long way to go to be decent human beings!!!
With the “town painted RED” on allegations against Najib, Tun seems to be oblivious with hardly any comments?! Please be very careful with the PM in-waiting because there are many more “juicy” stories which will unfold in the coming weeks which will ultimately deprive him of his “golden” dream! Poor Najib!

Dear Tun,
Despite AAB’s confirmation for earlier retirement (instead of 2010), though ideally it should have been yesterday, and that Najib will succeed him, you are still writing on this “Weak Government…” topic. Are you hinting that Najib will also not be good enough?
If you are, who would be your choice?
Thank you Tun for your guidance & may Allah bless you & your family (and Datuk Mukhriz for Ketua Pemuda).
Hello Tun,
Want to say my piece before I tuck in.I think having a strong opposition is not the end of the world for Malaysia.If the present Govt knows what it is doing it can still be relevant to the rakyat.The ordinary folks just worry about having 3 square meals a day for the family.I don’t think Tun, thinking people will want communal fights because no one will gain anything.It is a lot worse for the haves than have-nots.
Having a strong opposition will mean there will be checks & balances on the Govt. & this ultimately will be good for the rakyat jelata.
Let’s see how the Govt copes with the opposition in Parliament.
Every Govt will have problems in the real world .It’s a question of how much support it can rally behind it to see through the problems of the day.

Kenapa topik ini? Pendapat Tun tentang akibat kerajaan lembut ternyata dari sejak blog Tun bermula – tak kering gusi diulang. Saya ‘lupa’ ..sekarang musim jawatan kosong. Tun broadcasting hints about a ‘strong’ previous administration? Advertising a resume?
Bijak Pak Lah letak jawatan selepas pemilihan Umno, jadikan Tun pemerhati bukan participant – jangan ‘lupa’ janji..? Janji dulu nak bersara tak nak campur kita ‘lupakan’ sementara.

Mafhum hadis Nabi s.a.w, “barangsiapa meninggalkan sunnah ku, dia menuju kesesatan”
u said theres nothing wrong with the system, right? besides the system, what else to be blame? apa yang manusia fikirkan mengikut ideologi sendiri & apa yang Nabi s.a.w telah tunjukkan sebagai contoh akan memberikan impak yang besar di akhirat nanti. The answers are always Al Quran & sunnah Nabi s.a.w. Other than that just will result in temporary solution(s) or a complete failure.
Salam untuk Tun,
Apa yang Tun kata adalah benar,kita memerlukan kerajaan yang kuat untuk mentadbir negara.
Untuk membentuk kerajaan yang kuat mestilah dari pemimpin yang kuat dari segi mental dan fizikal.Pemimpin yang boleh diterima oleh majoriti rakyat.Pemimpin ini mestilah bersih dan kelihatan bersih, dan tiada ruang yang boleh dipertikaikan oleh kawan dan lawan.
Adakah masih ada pemimpin saperti ini lagi salepas Tun?. Jika tiada lagi, bermakna kita tidak dapat lagi membentuk satu kerajaan yang kuat saperti zaman Tun.
Semoga Allah masih melindungi negara Malaysia.
Semoga Allah merahmati Tun dan keluarga.

Selamat Hari Raya dan Maaf Zahir Batin…
We need strong , clean and respectable government. We also need strong enforcement especially ACA (BPR), to ensure that very strong government will not take advantage of the situation.
Salam Tun,
US sudah ‘declare recession’. Tapi BN ‘declare Malaysia fundamentally strong’. Dalam lima tahun ini, entah kenapa BN selalu membuat kenyataan yang tak masuk akal (no commonsense) dan selalu berbohong. Yang teruknya ialah semua rakyat tahu BN bohong tetapi BN mahu bohong juga.
1)BN kata batal jambatan bengkok untuk kebaikan Malaysia tapi semua tahu itu bohong.
2)BN kata nak lawan rasuah habis habisan tapi semua tahu itu bohong juga.
3)BN kata nak buat koridor tapi semua tahu itu bohong juga.
4)BN kata minyak naik 78sen untuk kawal inflasi tapi semua tahu itu bohong juga.
5)BN kata inflasi 7% sahaja tapi semua tahu itu bohong juga (minyak 40%, elektrik 26%, beras 30% – budak 3 tahun pun tahu kira lah)
6)BN kata PRU12 dapat mandat rakyat terus berkuasa tapi semua tahu itu bohong juga.
7)BN kata guna ISA untuk keselamatan negara tapi semua tahu itu bohong juga.
8)BN kata mahu ‘reform’ sistem kehakiman tapi hairan bila BN guna ISA tak cakap pula undang-undang negara. Sistem kehakiman untuk hiasan sahaja.
9)BN kata peralihan kuasa pada 2010 tapi AAB tak mahu bertanding dalam March’09 UMNO Election. Jadi selepas UMNO Election, AAB terus jadi PM sampai 2010 dan DSNR pula duduk diam-diam tunggu sampai 2010. AAB akan cipta sejarah menjadi PM yang bukan UMNO president!!!
Inilah contoh kerajaan yang lemah.

Tun,
Out of topic sikit. What do you think of one single party proposed by some of BN component leaders lately? Persoanlly, I disagree.
We are still not ready. We have not yet achived integration like other countries e.g Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore or even USA. Reason why? WE are taught to be polarised since chilhood days when we have Chinese Schools, Tamil Schools and National Schools and polarity continues till now and it’s worse.How could we achieve when we are not studying in same school? WE do not see this in our neighboring countries or even higly developed countries like US and Europe. Sto, to have 1 single party will create lots of unhapiness, dissatisfactions among members and definetlty will not work. I suggest the Govt should only have 1 single school system and encourage more Chinese and Indian teachers to teach under one roof without neglecting Tamil and Mandarin subjects. Then, it;s much easier for the people to accept 1 single pary system as we are trained the same system in school.
Salam Tun,
F1 = Car + Driver + Pit Crew + Luck.
These are the main ingredients and to win a race, all have to be in tip top condition (plus some divine intervention from the top!).
Take the F1 anology and apply to the current government. One ingredient that many of us talked about these days is the fact that we don’t have a good DRIVER (he’s a nice guy though!).
We also know the fact that the teamwork spirit among the PIT CREW is doubtful. I don’t have to elaborate on this.
Now the CAR – The country and its people are fantastics. An F1 equivalent would be to a McLaren perhaps..rich in natural resources, good infrastructure, the 2 seasons climate (rain or shine), teh tarik, roti canai, nasi lemak (aka fat rice) and plenty more..
In March 2009, we’re going to have Najib HAMILTON and Muhyidin RAIKONEN driving McLaren MALAYSIA car for a 1-2 finish…
Bye for now..
Salam Bahagia utk Tun, Family & crew che det.
BENAR Tun. Saya bharap Tun dpt menasihati BN dgn lebih bkesan lg. UMNO, MCA, MIC, GERAKAN… to form STRONG Goverment. UMNO smemangnya perlu tunjuk ajar Tun, how to LEAD our MALAY sia. Takan Melayu hilang d DUNIA. Jgn sampai merempat d Negara sendiri. MCA & GERAKAN jgn lah cuba menakutkan MALAY sia. Belajarlah sesuatu utk kebaikan BERSAMA. Dont forget about 13 Mei. MIC patut2 jaga HINDRAF. Tukarlah SAMY velu, kalau tak mampu menjaga BANGSA INDIA. Rata2 parti dah tukar pemimpin pon. Jgn rugikan bangsa INDIA. TOGETHER WE BUILD THE MALAYSIA towards in facing the GLOBAL WORLD ECONOMY CRISIS.
Tun teruskan PERJUANGAN. Inputkan sesuatu yg BAIK utk MALAYSIA.
ryad.
salam TUN,
In order to ensure the unity among the races i would like to suggest the following:
1.To appoint anwar ibrahim as a new MIC president.Since he is now the great leader for Indian Community.The period of appointment should be at least similiar to samy veloo tenure or until he dies, whichever comes first.Nowday sometimes anwar ibrahim looks like ayah pin.
2.To create a trophy of a giant white hair(normally use by english lawyer) size as big as bungalow house and to be awarded to zaid ibrahim as the best lawyer among opposition.
3.To put 1st priority on kidnaping of teresa kok case,from all other kidnaping case that happen in the country,neighbouring country and all over the world.
4.To learn history lesson from the queen of history, ketua wanita gerakan
5.To give a grand trophy ‘pejuang melayu abad ini’for Ir MB perak.
6.To give a grand trophy ‘pencinta ternakan babi’ to MB selangor.
P/s 2020 melayu akan jadi apa ha…………………
LOVE U TUN.
“a strong and competent government is the basis of a successful government” is your view.Well you are only half right.A COMPETENT government is the only answer!Strength is the first ingredient in disaster as far as politicians go!Strength leads to all sorts of abuses as can be seen in this country over the last 50 years.Only the vast resources of this country has saved it from utter disaster.Our incompetence was “masked” and “covered up” because of the so called “strong” government.Only a competent government and honest politicans can save this country and both have been sorely missing.You may dispute this view and say that the success of Malaysia is for all to see but the truth is:where could we have been had we had competency,honesty,meritocracy etc
Hi Tun,
Why should the present development in our politics be taken in a negative manner. We are now maturing into a society that can express itself more openly instead of the fear of just upsetting one another. This is reality. You talk about 50 years of strong government, how strong were we? If you can recall you had to remove your deputies and appoint weak ones, is that being strong, even now the present PM whom you say is weak was not our choosing but of your choosing.
Whether we like it or not it is no use penting up our differences but to lay it on the table so that an understanding and trust can be created. It is like someone saying I do not want to sweep because I will see a heap of rubbish but as you said, to have a strong government it is good to sweep away the rubbish, which is racial politics.
We have heard speakers aligned towards racial sentiments during the Umno general assembly even during your tenure as PM; so the water was already in the pot and on the fire and was slowly being boiled and now we know it is already boiling.
The philosophy is what we sow is what we reap. The present situation is the result of that.
Good day.
No Need No Need It is private …….
Wat say you bro ………
I think you would say the same ……………. No Need No Need is private ……………
The rakyat will say NO NEED to all of you …………..
Tun go to sleep …………. otehrwise you will make a lot of racist statement ………….. NO NEED NO NEED
Yg Berbhg Tun
I m not a M’sian, but i have full admiration for ur leadership especially in managing a multi racial country like Malaysia. M’sia needs someone like you to be at the helm to ensure a strong govt. Pak Lah does not possess the leadership qualities that is required to sustain a strong and effective govt for Malaysia
Dear Tun,
This is to Pak Pandir08,
Ima tell u r so wrong and u might be the depressed pak lah supporter who surprised that this blog is so much popular then Pak Lah warkah utk PM and KJ Blog.
1. U wrote that Pak Lah won high votes cause of removing mahathirism, U r so wrong, we vote for Pak Lah cause we expected he gonna continue The Malaysia Rancangan Perdana and he was endorsed by Tun himself. And we felt bad cause believing in Anwar in 1999, so thats is more saying sorry to Tun and a good bye present.
2. U wrote most of Tun supporter is bunch of old guys, FYI im 30 years old, in my company have 1000++ ppl which at least 50% are below 35 yrs old and all of them loved Tun and they got buddies too that loved Tun. FYI ALL OF US TALKED AND SENT EMAIL AND SMS TO EACH OTHER TO VOTE FOR OPPOSITION TIS YEAR ELECTION ON PURPOSE.
3. As per item 2. If u said all Tun supporters bunch of old guys, that means 8 million hits on this blog are from ppl got age of 80 years old?
4. Seriously I dont care too much abt the croniysm as long it works for all, why no one of Trump Organisation share holders complaint abt Donald Trump when he pick his own siblings to run big projects? simple cause they can work and makes money. The difference between Mahathir crony and Pak Lah crony is Tun crony performed far more better than Pak Lah crony. (Even they some failures of Tun cronies but most of them scored and contribute back but Pak Lah crony all ternganga even given contracts on silver plate).
Im gonna stop here, serious Pak Pandir08, u r a schmuck!!!
Salam Ayahanda Tun, I think that Datuk Seri Najib âinductionâ of fire into the power seat of Malaysia has somehow change him even in these past few days and week. I can see that he talks less and do more. However, he must limit himself from being seen too much around the out going boss. He must be very clear on the nature of his present (and out-going) boss eminent departure from his post. Datuk Seri Najibâs every word; his every action would from now on be dissected one by one and piece by piece. Be sure brain is engaged before putting mouth into gear – I remind myself that each time I could.
I would like to refresh Datuk Seri Najibâs attention to an incident that if I am not mistaken – happened somewhere in 2007, where a family of four burned to death when the candle they had been using tipped over and ignited their wooden home while they were fast asleep. They had the electric supply to their home disconnected earlier that day for failing to settle their bill. And TNB got away with not much hassle at all (good spin, well done for now by the way). I question; where were the people who today claims to represent the people interest then? And if I am the TNB Chief, I would have tendered my resignation immediately and begged for forgiveness openly like what the Japanese would do. I appeal to Datuk Seri Najib to do something about our very high electrical tariffs rate. We are losing our competitiveness. This is a very big burden to the rakyat big and small. To families, to factory owners, to business and shop owners: to everyone. For immediate remedial steps, review the IPP agreements and make impending adjustments. IMHO, for long term solutions, throw all cautions to the wind and just go nuclear.
Pak Lah had over the years aimlessly dragged the post of PM over everything, including mud and dirt. And today, it has been severely tarnished. It has lost most of its dignity. Pak Lah should really just pack up and go now. The wind is right and the climate is accommodating. Forget the clown Anwar Ibrahim with his unending âtake over plansâ. Thatâs just who he is, itâs the nature of a clown to entertain and keep people occupied; those that way inclined. Pak Lah, please go quietly into the night. For all the good that you have always stood for, please let go and go quietly into the night. It is Najibâs turn now, and he has his plate full. Resign as PM now; stay the President post till March. Give Datuk Seri Najib an early start. In my honest opinion, itâs the best going away present.
Itâs now over Pak Lah, the ride has ended, and its time to go home.
Thank you and good night Tun. â Kamal.
Dr Mahathir,
I am a big BN supporter. I believed that the prosperity that our beloved country achieved over the last 50 years have been due to a strong government and to the citizens of this country.
But over the last two decades, this strong government has turned into a strong government that is corrupt. UMNO particularly. Barisan National have forgotten to serve the people that put them there. Ministers only care for themselves and their cronies.
You have done lots of great things for this country but I wish that you could have done one less in exchange for cleaning up UMNO and make UMNO work for the benefit of Malaysians. It is all about contracts in UMNO. Who would be awarded? Is he related to so and so. Has he got strong cables etc.
You could have done it but you did not. Maybe you could not…but I believe you could have but choose not to.
I will still be supporting BN in the next election as I believe the opposition will be equally corrupted if they come to power. Maybe I am doing it because of FEAR. The fear for my family. The fear for my beloved country. The FEAR of something new but i pray to God that I am wrong about the future of this great country. I pray that I am wrong about the opposition. I pray that our future BN leaders will see beyond their pockets. I pray that UMNO will be detoxicated.
Most of all I pray that you could make cleaning up UMNO your last contribution to our beloved nation and that should have been vision 2020.
Dear YAB Tun,
With respect…
Where is the “Bersih, Cekap & Amanah” that the BN government who used to hailed loud about?
There’s no such thing as “Bersih” with them and definitely not “Cekap” either as you yourself have proof them on your recent blogs…”Amanah”!!! Hmmmm…I don’t think there’s a word called “Amanah” in their dictionary.
As long as the 3 words mentioned above not in the current government dictionary there won’t be a a good government. The “Bersih, Cekap & Amanah” must come from their heart then only they will be a worthy leader and can lead this country to Wawasan 2020……Otherwise only they and their cronies will see Wawasan 2020 and not all Malaysian in whole.
Thank you.
Salam Tun,
I was just reading a comment above saying that to be a stronger UMNO, the ‘Ketua Bahagian” MUST NOT BE a contractor or having family member who is a contractor. This is one of the way, power could be misused. I’ve known quite a few who are seeking their way to be divisional head just because of contracts. Better still, have a doctor or engineer (people who are brainy) to be a minister. We don’t want to have another Johari Baharum in the cabinet. Well, lawyers are not all bad but just be wary of them. I would also like to propose that the PM should test all the future minister mainly on history of Malaysian Social Lives and Politics. Just conduct a test, see if they know history. History is very important and what happen now is because lack of knowledge on what has happened before eg history lessons not thoroughly learnt.
Thank you Tun Dr Mahathir. By the way, just want to tell you that your wife Tun Dr Siti Hasmah is a classical Class One First Lady. Future PM’s wife should emulate her. Be an asset to the country and not a libility. (This is to Datin Rosmah if Dato Seri Mohd Najib is chosen to replace Pak Lah) No more dancing or doing something that could disgrace the nation upon seeing or hearing her act on something that is deemed to be perceived as not right for First Lady to act
Selamat malam buat Tun ,isteri dan semua.Apa yang Tun katakan itu tak boleh dinafikan.Kekuatan parti itu akan menjadi kuat dengan ketuanya yang tetap dengan pendirian yang tetap lagi jujur dalam menjalankan tanggungjawap serta menetapi janji lagi bermuafakat dalam segala perkara.Ketua yang terlalu mendengar pada seseorang tanpa mengambil kira pendapat ahli2 yang lain seperti kapal kehilangan nakhodanya.Tun,harapan kami sebagai warga MALAYSIA ,semua ini akan cepat berlalu dan kejayaan serta perpaduan dapat dikekalkan sepertimana yang kita lalui sebelum ini.Semoga kita semua akan mendapat manfaatnya,tak kira apapun bangsa.Jadikan ini sebagai satu mimpi/pengalam yang membuat kita semua sentiasa menggunakan akal yang waras sebelum membuat sesuatu perkara.MAJU DAN AMAN NEGARAKU MALAYSIA……….
Dear Tun,

When that happens, there will be no UMNO(Malay-based), MCA(Chinese-based),
MIC(Indian-based), etc.
There will be Liberals, Democrats, Republicans, etc.
All we read in the paper nowadays are racist news, one race complains on other race because of religious difference/practice, etc.
The politicians should debate on things which matter most to Rakyat like how to bring down inflation rate, how to improve transport systems, how to increase our income, etc.
Please keep racist news to the minimum. They are negatives.
This could be the first step towards non-racial based political environment.
If one race always quarrels with another race, neither will benefit.
Even worse, we are reversing the trend to 60’s when racial tension was immense.
Let us all be a mature lot, look at the BIGGER picture. We are all in the same boat. Live and let live should be the motto.
Knowing Tun may not be able to read all comments, if happen to read this, please advise in your blogspot to all readers to adopt a non-racist mindset.
May Tun stay healthy always.
A strong government mayb defined in a lot of terms, but sure enough a strong government is an organization dat can execute action or policy wif D support of D bureaucrats. A competent leader shd noe how to execute it own plan or policy. There r so many level or processes to go through within D government. An enlighten leader is required to start & finish off D task when D bureacrats r deadening, but when D leader is surronded wif talented group of bureacrats execution of certain task will B effectivly by rational.
Bak on D opinions given above on certain Bumi on D NEP, if every bumi’s managed to get a hand of D national wealth, Dat will be good definate but during D earlier stages of NEP how manay bumi’s involved wif real profit makin businesses. D fact is ugly, how many bumi’s at Dat time had fully been educated and how many Bumi’s been in D businesses. Will YOU ever give loan to an uneducated person who neva be in D business? Com on!!! D only availabe candidates will most probaly enjoyin sittin in D bank, big firm. so who else can we rely or turn on if not ur own CRONIES!!!
I hav heard of one nice and silly story told by my grandma 20 years ago where i found it was very astonishing. During Late Ghafar, he came to malacca & gave D Malay farmers aids in term of money, and other assistance. A farmer managed to recieved a flock of chicks to start a small scale so called a business. Ending up Dis rare farmer given most of D flock to his neighbours to share. Bumi’s r still not wel prepared to enter business at Dat time during D early stages of NEP. It wil be a waste of resources if every bumi’s recieved such aids. Cronyism can do more far greater in those days….but i do believe in some ways in D middle stage it must B control, we all shd noe how things got worst bfor makin a conclusion.
Tun,
Do you think Najib is good as PM? Look at him. Too many scandals like Altantuya, shady copter deal, SMSes and etc. I don’t think the rakyat will vote for BN if Najib becomes PM. Mark my words.
ayahanda tun,
salam sejehtra unt tun sekelurga.
banyak komen yg saya baca sebelum menulis kat sini, saya setuju dengan apa jua pandangan positif mereka tu.saya harap sangat tun akan menjadi menteri mentor/penasihat kerajaan seberapa yg termampu
dan ramai rakyat yg layak mengundi/dahulu tak keluar mengundi kini akan mengundi pd tahun 2010.
saya dah lama layak mengundi tetapi tak pernah mengundi kerana sebab benci dgn gelagat cawangan/bahagian. saya pastikan 10 undi dari teman teman yg tak keluar mengundi tu undi umno keran ayahanda tun telah memberi semangat bangkit unt menkuatkan parti dan terima tun ka pangkuan umno dan penasihat kerajaan/umno
satu lagi kami di johor ni mohon mendapat semula jambatan yg telah tun rancangkan dulu kerana banyak kebaikan dan keindahan nya.
saya sambilan sbg pemandu pelancong bermula dari tambak johor untuk katempat yg mereka hajati keindahan malaysia. ramai yg melintas tambak johor yg begitu buruk dan busuk dan cekpoint yg dah tak melambangkan malaysia maju. susah saya meberi helah dan alasan untuk mempertahankan malaysia
UMNO needs to be strong for BN to be strong. A few components parties try to blame UMNO for their failures in the 12th PRU. They even have the gall to suggest for the disband of UMNO (as well as MCA, MIC, PESAKA, UPKO, PBS, PBRS, etc) saying that it is time now for a multiracial approach in term of party organisation, membership, etc. If they claim to be a multiracial party and would like to promote it, they should show first that they are really multiracial in name, spirit, membership, leadership and direction. How can they justify their claim that their concept is the answer while they have nothing to show from the results that they got in the 12th PRU? It is clear their concept of multiracial as they cliamed was rejected by the rakyat because they lost badly! One was totally wiped out and the other managed to win only 2 Parlimentary seats out of charity from UMNO. Yet they are asking the rest of BN component parties to listen to them. They should concentrate to put their own houses in proper footing before thinking of preaching to others. Please be grateful to your partners who have been very charitable to your parties by accommodating and assigning seats to you to contest safely in previous elections. Your failures are of your own short comings and stop blaming others.
salam sejatera ,Tun
Bagi saya seorang ketua yang kuat, tegas memanglah penting. Kuat dan tegas adalah tidak mencukupi untuk menjamin pemerintahan yang berkesan. sebab ketaatan , kejujuran dan kesetiaan memainkan peranan yang penting dalam sesebuah sistem pertabiran yang berkesan. sebab jika orang dibawah seorang ketua hanya takut seoprang permerintah jika takut akan kuasanya. maka keseluruhan oprerasi pertabiran tidak akan dijalankan dengan baik. sebab yang bahagian bawah ,kerja dalam keadaan sifat tidak jujur dan tidak taat. Maka sekaut manapun pasti akan runtuh atau operasi keseluruhan pertabiran tidak akan lancar.
Dan masalah sekarang mereka yang berkuasa didalam kerajaan sama ada ypermerintah atau pembangkang. berapa banyakah di antara mereka yang kerja untuk rakyat dengan hati yang jujur, taat dan setia. saya rasa majority di sebaliknya , itupun jika Tun setuju. dan kelompok ini akan terus meracun dan mempengaruhi mereka yang baru ke arah yang sama. jadi kalau betul betul nak malaysia maju saya rasa perlu berlaku satu sunami besar di malaysia ini . barulah orang yang memerintah ini akan insaf dan sedar.
tulisan saya ini tak memihak kepada sesiapa cuma pendirian peribadi saya . semata mata. akhir kata nak berjaya di malaysia. kita harus Mesti Berusaha Gigih. itlah maksudnya MBG
A powerful Government lead by competent leaders is necessary for multi-racial Malaysia.
jikalau rasa diri tak competent jangan lah cuba-cuba nak jadi pemimpin. Rakyat yang akan menderita.
Biarlah iklas dan janganlah anggap kedudukan itu untuk kepentingan diri dan mereka-mereka yang berada disekeliling sahaja.
Itulah maknanya menjadi seorang pemimpin yang memimpin kerajaaan dan rakyatnya.
Susahkah
Sometimes I feel very difficult to trust people like TAN LIAN HOE. She looks very nice and innocent. But deep down she is racist. She won in the election in Bukit Gantang by beating Dr. Loqloq in 2004. Bukit Gantang was a kampung where almost 100% of the people are malays. With the help of UMNO, the malays in Bukit Gantang voted for her and she became the ADUN and paved the way for where she is now. With that trust given by the malays to her, is she grateful? Same with others of her kind.
TO BUNNIES
your statement -So, if we are to have a strong government as in fair, just and strong, we definitely have to get rid of UMNO.
It is easier said than done to dismantle UMNO out from the government.The recent 12th GE results showed that the opposition led fronts managed to secured more votes from the Indian and Chinese voters. But yet there are still handful Malays voters who despite being aware of UMNO’s antics still reluctantly voted for the BN. The Malay majority were torn apart whether to choose for the PKR led opposition fronts or to ensure UMNO’S dominance in the country’s political system. It was very difficult decsion for Malay voters to cast their vites. In the end they casted their votes in anger as a sign of protest to UMNO for sidelining the Mass Malay majority in favour of the elite UMNOPUTRAS. The Indian and Chinese voters translated their agitation to the Gerakan, MCA & MIC by toppling the parties’ incumbents out from the pedestal.the aftermath of the 12th, 5 states being controlled by the ‘Pakatan Rakyat’.
The salient point here is not about getting rid of UMNO.If Umno were to be get rid of the country’s political scenario, it must be based on its own wrong doing for not being able to change according to its
stakeholders’ needs, wants and aspirations.I would say the elders generation voters are still loyal with UMNO and demographic their numbers are declining if compared with the younger educated Malay voters whose number are rising and a force to be reckoned with tend to support the the PKR/DAP/PAS axis forces.
The Indians and Chinese voters have send a clear message that they would like to end UMNO dominance by voted out UMNO’s comrades in arms-GERAKAN, MIC & MCA. Then the onus is up to the bumiputra communities whether to regard UMNO still relevant to them or not.
Finally it is UMNO’s turn to move. To change, to adapt, to rebrand, to reposition or to continue with the status quo.
Bro mcm biasa Lu Kaji la sendiri……
Di masa ini umat Muslim banyak berselisih. Sementara itu banyak juga orang yang menyuarakan persatuan Islam. Namun bagaimanakah persatuan Islam yang benar?
Ana kutip hadist yg diriwayatkan Irbadh bin Sariyyah :
âBarang siapa yang berumur panjang setelah aku wafat, niscaya ia akan menemui banyak perselisihan. Maka hendaknya kalian berpegang teguh dengan sunnahku dan sunnah khalifah-khalifah yang telah mendapat petunjuk lagi cerdik. Berpegang eratlah kalian dengannya, dan gigitlah dengan geraham kalianâ. (Riwayat Ahmad 4/126, Abu Dawud, 4/200, hadits no: 4607, At Tirmizy 5/44, hadits no: 2676, Ibnu Majah 1/15, hadits no:42, Al Hakim 1/37, hadits no: 4, dll.)
Lihat bagaimana Rasulullah mengkhabarkan ttg perselisihan ummat, dan solusi yang diberikan beliau. Setelah beliau mengatakan : âyang berumur panjang setelah aku wafat, niscaya ia akan menemui banyak perselisihanâ. Kemudian beliau memberi solusi yaitu: âMaka hendaknya kalian berpegang teguh dengan sunnahku dan sunnah khalifah-khalifah yang telah mendapat petunjuk lagi cerdik. Berpegang eratlah kalian dengannya, dan gigitlah dengan geraham kalianâ.
Perhatikan baik-baik!!
Rasulullah tidak mewasiatkan âBersatulah apapun yang terjadiâ, tidak pula âSudahlah jangan berselisih, bersatu sajaâ, tidak pula âPersatukanlah mereka apapun yang terjadi!â, tidak pula âWalau berbeda-beda, bersatulahâ. Namun beliau mewasiatkan âMaka hendaknya kalian berpegang teguh dengan sunnahku dan sunnah khalifah-khalifah yang telah mendapat petunjuk lagi cerdikâ. Ini juga sejalan dengan firman Allah SWT :
âDan jika kamu berselisih pendapat tentang sesuatu maka kembalikanlah ia kepada Allah (Qurâan) dan Rasul (Sunnah)â.
(An-Nisa: 59).

Saya ingin memohon maaf pada Tun dan keluarga Tun kerana saya banyak mengumpat Tun sekeluarga semasa Tun memerintah negara dahulu

Assalamualaikum YABhg Tun
Ya, sememamang kita memerlukan kerajaan yang kuat, kerana apabila kerajaan kuat pelabur akan yakin dengan negara kita dan dengan itu mereka akan datang melabur dan dengan ini ekonomi akan bergerak maju. Sehubungan itu rakyat akan mengecapi hasilnya maka dengan itu juga rakyat akan sentiasa sibuk dan tiada masa untuk memikirkan perkara2 seperti sekarang ini, Yang paling penting bagi rakyat ialah kesetabilan ekonomi keluarga, makan minum, pakaian, pelajaran anak-anak, tempat kediaman yang selesa, kenderaan , simpanan bekal tua dan yang akhir sekali barulah melancung.
“KEMBALIKAN KESEJAHTERAAN EKONOMI RAKYAT”

Tun yang terhormat,
Najib dan Muhiddin rasanya bukanlah pilihan yang terbaik! Tetapi itulah harapan terbaik yang kita ada. Bolehkah kerajaan BN jadi kuat semula. Kita memerlukan ‘pemikir’ seperti Tun untuk memimpin mereka. Dari tulisan-tulisan Tun kami dapat menilai sejauh mana Tun BOLEH menyumbang untuk memperkasakan semula BN.
Terus terang saya sangat bimbang dengan ‘politik wang’ dan ‘politik kuasa’ yang masih belum berapa pulih di dalam UMNO. Kekawan Najib dan Muhiddin sekarang mungkin sibuk dengan ‘calculator’ masing-masing! Jangan UMNO terjerumus ke dalam lubang yang sama sudahlah. Tidak akan ada peluang ketiga lagi.
SEHARUSNYA TUN DILANTIK SEBAGAI PENASIHAT UMNO! PASTIKAN TIADA SESIAPA YANG BOLEH MENGAMBIL KESEMPATAN.
Salute Tun,
Suara Tun didengari tapi tak dihayati dan diterima oleh pemimpin kerajaan masa ini oleh kerana EGO yang terlalu tinggi….
Sekarang, after 4 years in power… tengok apa terjadi… Malaysia hadapi masalah dari segala segi..politik, ekonomi & perkauman.
Pemimpin kerajaan menyebabkan Kerajaan jadi LEMAH oleh kerana tindak-tanduk mereka sendiri yang tak membangun. Semuanya mengamalkan attitude “TAK APA” …
Untuk menaikkan dan memantapkan semula Malaysia seperti zaman Tun dulu, we DO need a STRONG GOVERMENT with strong leadership (by a strong LEADER)… but WHO???? at the moment tak nampak lagi yang betul-betul 100% berkaliber. Semuanya ada masalah (kat belakang!)
Sepatutnya Tun dari dulu (sejak bersara) jadi PENASIHAT cam yang Singapore buat! Tengok Singapore….maintain jer cam zaman LKY.
Pemimpin Kerajaan Malaysia sekarang betul-betul menghampakan rakyat… hai.. betul-betul dalam sejarah ni! Tapi tak tau plak camman dapat “BAPA DEMOKRASI”!!
Anyway, Our prayers always with you, our beloved Tun.

Assalamualaikum semua.
Just like when the Republican held the American at ransom with their 911 circus last time, now its the Democrats’ turn with their self created Subprime crisis exploding just in time to ensure the key to the white house to be returned back to them.
However they are panic as McCain creatively brought in Palin to garner women’s vote as Clinton fell out.
The more panic the Democrat are, the lower they are going to push down the DJ as the ransom gets higher.
The only way America going to get out of this problem is by letting Democrats win, else, that US$700bil is not going to be enough.
For a Moslem country like us, no matter who wins, both are not accomodative to our interest. If Republican wins, perhaps we can see another Yankees occupation in the Islamic countries, Sudan is another soft target. If Democrats win, we can expect another financial turmoil outside USA, expansion of the religion of Democracy, religion of Freedom of Speech etc. From risk management perspective, Democrats is more manageable as Hujjatul Islam Bro Anwar is already not focusing on the hand over dates, as he is now very concern only about the budget progress achievement???
Whatever it is Tun, you really have to drill them. Else very soon, we are going to suffer.
Europe is already in their grip! UK, France & Germany, Italy, ECB, IMF etc. Very scary!
Dear Tun,
never so interested in politics till lately…. i was really sad with the fire fighting government, and getting really impatient with the leader.
Pls consider coming back as an advisor to this bunch of kids that still have no direction and cause only more suffers to the rakyat.
Assalamualaikum,
Tentunya bagi sesiapa yang pernah membaca text ucapan Tun pada Seminar antarabangsa, jelas menunjukkan Tun mempunyai satu rencana yang cukup detail tentang pembangunan negara malahan setiap permasalahan telah dirangka tindakan penyelesaiannya. Bagi saya cukup hebat bagi seorang manusia yang berwawasan.
Tapi tidak kah Tun pernah mengakui bahawa Cerminan Diri Tun sebenarnya ada pada Dato’Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Apa tidaknya mau-mau tidak mau, sedikit sebanyak tindak tanduk DSAI juga telah tercermin jalan cerita seperti yang Tun rencanakan. Saya tidak pernah menyalahkan Tun kerana Dsailah sepatutnya terlebih dulu mengalah. Macam cerita Kabhi Kushi Kabhi gham.
Tidakkah penyatuan semula pemimpin negara menjadi tanggungjawab Tun sekarang sebab pencorakkan cara kepimpinan ini adalah hasil daripada corak kepimpinan Tun yang Cukup mantap.
Secara jujur saya amat menyanjungi Pasangan mantap kepimpinan negera suatu masa dulu, saling melengkapi. Gandingan Tun dan Dsai.
Tapi kenapakah persengketaan itu menjadi beban kepada rakyat. Tidakkah pernah terfikir untuk menebus kembali apa yang sepatutnya rakyat dapat.
Satu cabaran saya kepada Tun, sebagai orang yang telah memberi imej yang baik kepada malaysia, Bolehkah tun merangka agar kepimpinan negara ketika ini dapat disatukan semula untuk mengulangi kegemilangan ‘dulu’. Tidak kira siapa pemimpinnya, sama ada dari kerajaan atau pembangkang, saya ingin melihat wawasan 2020 tidak tersasar dari landasan. Pada saya mengikut rencana kita sepatutnya boleh maju pada 2015, 5 tahun lebih awal mengikut jangkaan ekonomi sebelum 1997/98. tapi hari ini nyata jauh tersasar malah saya yakin 2020 bukan lah satu tarikh yang ideal lagi kalau dikira dari sudut perkembangan ekonomi sekarang.
Saya berharap khidmat terakhir yang saya minta dari Tun ini mampu menjelmakan kelebihan kita yang masih separuh sedar iaitu kekayaan dan kelebihan kita dalam bentuk kepelbagaian etnik dan kaum yang ada dalam negara kita ini. Tiada negara di dunia ini yang mendapat kasih sayang Maha Pencipta sebaik kita di Malaysia ini. Adunlah sekali lagi campuran ini supaya kek ekonomi kita makin membesar serta sedap dan enak rasanya untuk kita nikmati bersama juga orang lain.
Tun Mahathir,
Salam Dengan Penuh Hormat.
A strong Government need a strong Leader.
A strong Leader must first be a Nationalist, the Country come first in the order of priority.
A strong Leader must have a srong pulling power and lead from the front and not pushing from the back .
A strong leader must have good foresight and established the multi thrust to push and pull the country forward.
A strong Leader must recognise the resources available at his disposal and to maximise these resources and place the Country as to where it sould be and stay on course to the long term agenda.
A strong Leader must have eyes on friendly countries and keep tight in his fist of those unfriendly ones as they would be the likely source of all sort of problems.
A strong Leader must be always concious that the one closes to him could be the most dangerous. He must listen to all but trust no one.Collective dicision is like putting his power and authority in the drawer and being irresponsible.
A strong Leader must earn the respect of the seciety that he leads and be prepared to make hash decision but not a bad decision.
A strong Leader must put his trust in Allah and not to place MONEY above the rest and , he must have the wisdom of what a good Leader is all about in relation to nation building.
Is the heading a question or a statement?
It’s more of strong and clear direction of leadership that’s seen to be lacking.
SALAM TUN,
THE STAR today have just proved me and TUN right, Zaid Ibrahim visited Anwar Ibrahim at the PKR’s leader opening house on Saturday which held at Cherok Tokun.
About your article today, seems to me this article should be written 2 or 3 months earlier.
However your explanations on our economy(weak) current situations are true. It was obviously right as we knew when KLCI drop almost 500 points since March this year which means investors are pulling out money from market share. It also proved that our economy in weak conditions.
TUN, why don’t you focus more on how to strengthen back our economy by giving your opinions or views on this blog?
Or why don’t you arrange an appointment with the Finance Minister 1 or 2 in the nearest time, to clarify all your views regarding current economy situation and giving opinions to strengthen the economy and our nations?
Or why don’t our government assemble advisory council named Government Advisory Council(GAC) which includes former leaderships we have such you TUN, KU LI, MUSA HITAM and many others?
Your experience is much needed to help weakest leadership we have today.
Hope our country would be given a strong leader as we had before with a great cabinet team’s in order to compete internationally and to strive towards achieving VISION 2020.
WASALAM…
Dear Tun..,
Sy sbnarnya gusar ni. Bla PLah trun nanti akn ada 2 org bkas PM hdup dlm Mlaysia. Tun dh tentu aktif lg nnti. Mcmna dgn PLah pasni ha. Najib nk follow ckp sapa. Jgn dia lantik PLah jd penasihat dah. Bak kta Mat Taib… atas bukit tkleh ada 2 singa. Najib blum singa matang lg. Singa dominan Tun & PLah. Sy hrp klau blehla PLah tolong pindah ikut anak hang si Kamaludin tu duk Australia. Wlaupun kta org ni belia benci PLah tp ksian plk nnti PLah terabai slap2 duk rumah org tua tkda org jg.
salam tun,
saya student law..
saya kena kaji case tentang crisis 1983..
boleh terangkan mengapa article 66 di mansuhkan?
terima kasih..
Assalamualaikom Tun ,
Setuju 110% dengan penulisan Tun, semasa Tun memerintah, tiada pon yang berani serbu majlis orang kenamaan, sebab sapa tunjuk hero..masuk dlm ISA..hehehehe padan muka. Sememangnya itulah ciri-ciri pemimpin yang tegas. Diharap Datuk Seri Najib mencontohi kepimpinan Tun dan selalu merujuk kepada Tun.
Kesian Tun, nak solat kat mana pon orang kecoh, terpaksalah Tun menjawab isu remeh ni..gak ye.
Saya berdoa supaya Tun panjang umur dan dikurniakan Allah swt kesihatan yang POWER.

Dear Tun,
I believe you need to clarify to us followers of your popular and respected Blog – what you mean by a STRONG GOVERNMENT.
To some it may mean an authocratic government to others a government that gets things done and yet to others a government that brings the country stabiliy and prosperity. We will like to hear your perspective on this.
Race and religious relations in times of stability, peace, harmony and prosperity will not be a problem. Much like a family which lives happily together when everything is fine and dandy.
But a little thing like not doing ones fair share of the household chores can start the sibilings squabbling and quarrelling. To the extend that it can break up families.
In such situations the heart (or more appropriately the emotion) takes over the thinking (the brain). The logical thinking process will be thrown out the window. People will not be able to sit down and discuss logically, factually and with a clear mind.
When emotions run high there is not room for talk.
Thus when it comes to race and religion, the default mode for the mind / thinking is on emotional mode. So a slight misconception, misundestanding or miscommunication can cause mayhem and as Tun said,”…people going after each others throats…”
DO NOT TAKE THE RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS HARMONY that we are experiencing right now in MALAYSIA for granted. We need to put in concerted effort and discipline to maintain this. It will not go on automode. It needs constant maintenance, monitoring and management by a Strong government which is responsible and trusted.
Pak Lah’s playing with fire when he misread the people’s readiness for a more open and unbridled free speech by all and sundry.
Tun you are the BEST. With Malaysia’s leadership change and hopefully stability in the political arena perhaps you can now focus your blog comments on the international arena.
For those who wants Tun to return as Malaysia’s PM – I do not agree. Tun is best placed to be outside the government to give advice and critiques to the leaders when called for and to help the leader when they seek his counsel; as mentor or advisor or such.
Tun’s ideas and thinking is now need for the international and especially Muslim community.
Best Regards
Jamalludin
Memang betul pandangan yang TUN nyatakan….dan AAB pun dah berundur dengan cara terhormat walaupun belum terlalu terlewat….salam
Dear Tun,
UMNO kalau nak berubah jangan pilih Ketua Bahagian yang ada businessnya sebagai kontraktor dan yang ada sijil kontraktor JKR Klas A sampai Z. Mereka inilah yang menjahanamkan UMNO. Merekalah suka main duit untuk meraih sokongan. Mereka bukannya jadi pemimpin untuk memperjuangkan bangsanya tapi untuk keppentingan diri mereka.
Ini memang ada kebenaran yang menyebabkan UMNO lemah dipringkat Bahagian. Rakyat tempatan diBahagian naik MELUAT dengan gaya hidup setengah Ketua Bahagian yang menunjuk-nunjukan kekayaannya. Merekalah dianggap UMNOputra yang tak sedar diri. Jangan pilih mereka. Pilihlah Ketua Bahagian yang dihormati oleh penduduk tempatan dan yang ada kelulusan professional seperti doktor, engineer, akauntan dan ahli akademik.
Dear Tun,
We don’t need a strong or weak government.
We just need smart government – creative policy makers, with commited, clean and working civil servant.
Let’s help them with our inputs/ideas thru this popular blog.
Kita sebagai manusia tidak boleh membangkang kerana kita benci pada seseorang, atau menyokong semata-mata kita sukakan seseorang …
– saya bukannya penyokong abdullah malah amat bencikan khairy, tetapi hanya seorang yg pantang melihat wujudnya orang miskin di negara tidak kira apa bangsanya kerana penyelewengan pemimpin:
kita perlu bangkang atau sokong mengikut KEBENARAN … cubalah fikirkan betul-betul secara ikhlas:
(1) Apa yg diambil-alih oleh abdullah adalah sebuah organisasi yg terdiri pada konco-konco yg mengilakan kuasa dan kekayaan
– Sebablah kelemahan pimpinan abdullah, keadaan ini menjadi tidak terkawal dan masalah yg lama berakar umbi terapung
– Bukankah situasi ini yg disebabkan oleh Tun selama 20 tahun? Sudah lupakah Tun bahawa Tun terpaksa memaparkan senarai nama semasa perhimpunan UMNO dahulu yg mencatatkan wakil-wakil yg mendapat projek kerajaan namun membuat tuduhan yg bukan-bukan? Bukankah ini menunjukkan semuanya gilakan kuasa dan kekayaan?
(2) Tidak tahukah Tun bahawa manusia ini memang mudah dipengaruhi oleh nafsu dan sebab itulah sebagai pemimpin yg bertanggungjawab, Tun sepatutlah memperkenalkan dasar-dasar yg transparent untuk mengelakkan penyelewengan?
– Quata UMNO untuk pertandingkan jawatan tertinggi dikecam oleh Tun dengan hebat, tetapi tidak tahukan Tun bahawa polisi ini dicipta oleh Tun sendiri semasa digugat oleh tengku razali dahulu?
– Dasar-dasar yg memudaratkan perpaduan negara dan menggalakan penyelewangan, bukankah semua ini telah diwujudkan pada zaman TUN?
– Orang jahat tetap akan buat jahat dan orang baik boleh jadi jahat juga. Sebab itulah negara perlukan dasar dan polisi yg transparent agar penyelewangan boleh dibendung. Kenapa Tun gagal merealisasikan perkara ini selama 20 tahun yg begitu panjang?
Sampai hari ini, pemimpin-pemimpin masih gilakan kuasa dan bercerita tentang rebutan projek kerajaan. 15 tahun lagi negara akan kehilangan sumber pendapatan yg lumayan kerana kehabisan sumber petroleum.
– Sumber petronas inilah yg menjadi sumber utama untuk membiayai projek-projek mega. Sekira kehilangannya, pastilah konco-konco ini membuat kacao
– Budget 2009 menampirkan kos pentadbiran yg amat besar jelas menunjukan orang melayu terutamanya amat bergantung kepada kerajaan untuk hidup. Ini bermakna sekiranya kerajaan kekurangan sumber pendapatan, nasib mereka ini akan terancam.
Bapa yg sayangkan anak akan mengajar anak teknik memancing, dan bukannya sekadar menyuapnya dengan ikan. Kerana bapa sedar bahawa kelak dia akan uzur, dan selepas pemergiannya, anak yg disayangi perlu meneruskan hidup tanpa kesengsaraan.
Sudahkah rakyat melaysia bersedia untuk mengecapi harungan pada masa akan datang? Dengan keadaan perpaduan rakyat yg lemah disebabkan dasar Tun, mampukah semua kaum berganding bahu menghadapi kesukaran dalam 15 tahun lagi?
Bukankah ini semua kebenaran? Atau semata-mata maki-hamun?
Dear Doctor,
Hope you’ve been keeping well. My opinion is, the strength of the government should be measured by the support is garners from the rakyat. Malaysia is slowly (but surely) waking up to the reality that race based politics is a thing of the past.
I know for a fact that, the BN formula is outdated and will soon be discarded. If there is hope in the BN to hold on to power it has to get rid of the master-slave mentality and start looking at every Malaysian as an equal citizen. Yes, there should be policies in place to support the down trodden but it should be need based and not race based.
If truly the NEP was helping the needy bumiputras then that’s great. But clearly that isn’t the case is it?
Well, you know it best.
Warmest regards and God bless,
Mikey
Salam Tun,
Tak susah nak jadi PM. Pak Lah dah tunjuk jalan mudah. Tun susah susah tak dapat sebarang gelaran. Pak Lah dapat gelaran Bapa Demokrasi dari Gerakan yang katanya tak mahu lagi kawtaw sama itu UMNO, tapi terus bodek juga. Apa punya turr daaa.
Formula Pak Lah.
Buat segala jenis pengumuman:
1) Projek RMK 9 RM200 billion tapi tak sampai 30% terlaksana.
2) Projek Korridor RM500 billion tapi habuk pun tarak.
3) Anti rasuah, tapi keadaan sebenar sebaliknya, index rasuah meningkat lebih buruk. Salahkan cara Tun dulu.
4) Reformasi badan kehakiman, duit exgratia dah habis, menterinya dah berhenti. Siapa nak laksana pun tak tahu. Bar Council???
5) Nak pulih ekonomi, tak payah susah hati, bukan potfolio PM lagi.
6) Lebih demokratik(sama dengan tidur, biar orang lain bersuara), tapi duk tangkap orang guna ISA.
Enam bulan lagi berhenti dan lepaskan semua beban kepada PM baru. Pak Lah akan dapat beberapa lagi gelaran tapi rakyat dapat apa?
Apa perlunya Kerajaan Yang Kuat?
A strong is definitely good. The reasons expounded are fair and right. But why the government is now weak? The people have the reasons in their mind and voted against the BN. Even if Tun was still the PM, there would not be much different in the end results.
So the important point is whether the government has the guts to change NOW policies which are not to the liking of the majority of the people.
Tun certaintly knows most of them if not all the unfavourable policies which the Malays, Chinese, Indians, Ssrawakians and Sabahans are not happy about.
Bring them out in the open is not a good idea as some people are like monkeys who just cannot take things in a calm manner and see things in perspective and at the same time being rational. But if they are for the better of the country, a CHANGE must be carried out the government. For that matter, a CHANGE within the party is also essential to keep abreast with the change environments.
And the very top leaders must be HONEST and hardworking.
YABhg Tun,
You are right that we need strong government just the same government that you lead for 22 years. We Malaysian not only live in peace at that time but we also walking tall when we were abroad because Malaysia is well known under your leadership.
Now DS Najib have the opportunity to lead the government and I am really wishing that he will be ever willing to seek your advise and making use of your experience to implement the good things for the beloved country, Malaysia. DS Najib as PM and TS Mahyudin as DPM is good combination to lead the nation. Umno should be closing rank and be strong as it used to be to take care of Malay interests. Component parties in Barisan National need to move forward and working together as before to ensure strong government
because its still relevent.
Assalamualaikum Tun,
I try to read your blog everyday as I find the information interesting as well as enlightening. As for today’s topic, I have to say that I do agree with you. However I have my doubts on whether Dato’ Seri Najib is capable of bringing back this country to order, what with some of the things being said about him, some people are doubting his ability to lead this country back on the right track. I do not see any other way other than for a drastic action( read: NOT NECESSARILY AGGRESSIVE) to be taken so that we start to come again together to work as and for the nation.With the economic crisis looming, we cannot afford to be weak. Regards and best wishes to you and the family.
Assalamualaikum Tun and good day to you,
I believe every country needs a strong government to sustain peace and stability just as a house needs a strong parental hands to uphold the family. But frankly I do have doubts on the next to be PM. Has he the charisma and capabilities like you do Tun? Please enlighten me Tun ‘cos as I have said before when I ‘leave’ I want to leave my children and my future generations in good capable and trustworthy hands. I have done my job in bringing them up as good citizens but I can’t guarantee they will stick to the present government now if the next PM is also flip-flop. My children are still young but they do keep track of the politics in this country. If the present and future leaders don’t improve themselves, like not being and speaking arrogantly and enriching themselves without giving some of the goodies the poor deserve, they for sure will not get my children’s votes in the next elections. One thing I would love to see is the wives of the ministers and of the rich and famous to not only cut ribbons at grand functions but to put on their sarongs and go to the people on the ground and be humble and mix with them and know their hardships. Please do not wait for disasters or during elections to do so. As the saying goes ‘jatuh bagun seorang suami adalah kerana isteri’.
I hope the future PM will reduce the prices of oil and foods ‘cos I,m trying to make ends meets. So frustrated with the last-to-be PM when he shot up the price of oil then everything went hare-wire with my budget.
Take care of yourself dearest Tun and May Allah Look Upon You Always.
Assalammualaikum.. Yang Berbahagia Ayahanda Tun…
Saya setuju dengan pendapat Tun kerajaan perlu kuat untuk menghadapi cabaran masa depan, moga moga jika semuanya berjalan lancar pada march 2009 kita akan mempunyai kerajaan yang kuat gandingan Datuk seri Najib dan Tan Seri Mukyiddin.Itu Pun jika tiada perkara diluar dugaan yang berlaku.Saya juga berdoa agar Datuk Mukhriz menang jawatan Ketua Pemuda kerana ini akan dapat menarik sokongan ahli UMNO pada peringkat akar umbi dan seluruh rakyat malaysia kembali menyokong kerajaan.
Saya juga percaya Datuk Seri Najib akan mendengar nasihat Tun.
Segala kritikan Tun terhadapnya sebelum ini dia tak akan ambil hati..percayalah.
Teguran Tun terhadapnya hanyalah ibarat teguran seorang bapa terhadap anaknya.Saya juga percaya Tun yakin dengan kepimpinannya.Semoga Malaysia menuju kemakmuran.
Sekian..wassalam.
Shafie.. Tapah Road,Perak.
Assalamualaikum Tun,
Selamat Hari Raya maaf zahir batin.
Saya dengar lah slogan Pak Lah yakni Cemerlang,Gemilang dan Terbilang.Namun seems like tak realistic lah kerana tak nampak apa2 perbezaan yang ketara sejak Tun lepaskan jawatan dan tanggungjawab kepada nya.The Govt is indeed very very strong when you pass over the baton to him tapi sayang the next runner nya terlalu lemah lah.
Hidup dalam multi racial country nie kita kena lah hati2 and make sure all the media masa is not writing rubbish.Mereka lah sumber perantakkan antara bangsa dan ugama.The entire govt mesti dirombak.
All the elder minister should be a mentor to the younger ministers.
Maksud saya setiap kementerian harus ada yang muda untuk dijadikan sebagai 2nd minister dan orang2 ini lah yang akan jadi pengganti dimasa depan nanti.Ramai anak2 Malaysia yang berpendidikan tinggi dan berkebolehan,kerajaan harus beri mereka peluang untuk mentadbir negara.Tawarkan gaji yang menarik,pasti mereka ingin duduk didalam Parlimen untuk memimpin future Malaysian.Bagi saya pemimpin2 yang berada didalam Parlimen kebanyakkan nya dah lapuk dan usang malah tak ada idea2 baru untuk diketengahkan.Why not try the younger ones?
They got a lots of new ideas to bring up,they have fresh blood,young brains and full of energy.Of course, they run faster than those the Govt have in their Parliament.Masaalah nya di BN(UMNO) ini tak ada barisan pelapis dimana anggota nya dapat bersandar.Saya ingin syorkan dimasa2 akan datang,hanya mereka yang ada kelulusan University saja yang layak untuk menjadi ahli Parlimen BN sama ada UMNO atau parti2 components nya.Don’t put stupid people to represent the rakyat…orang bilang buang karan ajer.Itulah saranan saya Tun.
to ‘kekawan’ thanks for highlighting what i have written many times earlier…let there be just one and only ‘national school type, for all our children of different ethnics, to roam and play freely in the same school compounds. Let there be genuine integration among our children at their tender ages as oppossed to those sham smiles and bear hugs among adults of different races in University domes and National Service camps. Let there be no more Sekolah Jenis kebangsaan Cina nor Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil, for these are the centers of segregation or isolation where Malaysian children of Chinese and Indian ethnicity live among themselves for at least good 6 years with probably a handful of Malays students, whose parents have chosen to register them there. My Chinese and Indian friends may say I am racist, but truly I believe I am only pushing my ‘nationalist’ agenda. How can one call himself Malaysian when one can not even fluently converse in the National language, which incidentally is a pre requisite of our citizenship ! A local Chinese, who cannot converse Bahasa Melayu or B.Malaysia, is no better than tourists from China, Hong kong or Singapore for that matter. It would be insulting indeed to find that some among Singapore Chinese who do speak B.Malaysia. So we are in dire need of a strong and able leader to lead this beautiful nation to march forwards with this ‘Single School System’ which I believe can truly unite and bring us together as one bangsa Malaysia, free of anxiety, suspicion and hatred among us…
TUN A Every days to YOU.I had pen in In your CHEDET>COM.What we need now is not strong GOVT alone.Its the Captain itself.I remember
once that Najib is a YES Man not likely to take PM Post.Your trent had change now.Why.Look at todays MalaysiaKini on the Copter Issue.
Najib is already in RED now He is more Darker RED.
You may right at certain points not all of course.As to my suggestion KU LI is not at all tinted TUN you had put some weight on him.If you presue for KU LI just one collum it may make a diffirent.The least the 58 nomination For Najib to run for his money.
Last Question Is Najib is your actual choose for PM.I Rather Have YOU DEAR TUN for PM for short years to shape up the country.Coach KU LI or be Senior Minister to check on the Cabinet.Nothing wrong
being a copycat like Singapore for the sake of the Nation.
PSE PSE PSE PEN IN FOR KU LI for one citizen you have not known rather blessing for the Nation.Current UMNO people are full of greed Rich and the powerfull.You had mention the people still wants BN but not ABB. Putting Najib is like a snake that changes its skin
Once TINTED The Rakyat still put Najib off at mext GE.
YABhg Tun.. Assalamualaikum w.b.t…..

On Datuk Mukhriz – Congratulations!!!. He has qualified himself. Just like F1: Q1- He offered himself to vie for YL post. Q2- He has passed the quota. Q3 – Who will be at the top position? Raceday in March 09, who will be the winner? Hopefully Datuk Mukhriz to finish on podium to take championship post.
On DS Najib – YABhg Tun… Sejak 3 ke 4 hari ini, PM selalu sahaja membuat kenyataan dan bercakap perkara yang baik2 sahaja mengenai DS Najib, yang boleh merangsang kealpaan kepada DS Najib. DS Najib dan orang2 yg menjaga keselamatan akan merasa terbuai dan akhirnya lalai menjaga keselamatan DS najib. Dengan gaya dan mulut manisnya, saya merasakan ada perkara yg tidak beres lagi.
Wassallam.
Salam Tun,
I very much agree with your opinion. You after all, in all honesty , is the most intelligent Prime Minister Malaysia has ever had and I doubt very much that we will be able to have another Prime Minister that can match you in the near future.
However Tun, the real issue I think is the people in the government itself. A strong government simply means a strong group of individuals administering the country. How do we define a strong group of individuals then? We are definitely not referring to individuals with chunky muscles here since most of our ministers look like they had too much to eat everytime they have their meals anyway(you excluded Tun). The real yardstick of strong individuals should be their level of intellectuality i.e. those with exceptionally high qualifications (if what they have is only a degree or a diploma, I might as well elect a Mat Rempit on Jalan Chow Kit to be my leader) and above average analytical skills to strategise and solve issues in the country. And above all, they must have the ability to sacrifice for the country and not to garner their own wealth when they are in power (sorry KJ, you have just been disqualified).
So Tun, a question I would like to pose to you is; Do you honestly think that our ministers (majority) have the very requirement that was pointed out earlier? If the answer is NO (well we know this already don’t we?), then why on earth are these bunch of imbeciles occupying the fancy offices you built in Putrajaya? They are too dumb to start with and it is wishful thinking really to be hoping that the government will ever be strong. These people can win with 100% majority for all I care, but there’s no two way about this. They are just going to lead us into the drain while they award themselves (together with their families and friends) with direct-nego / government contracts.
And Tun, may I ask, what nonsense is this,when we only pay our minsters nothing more than RM 20k in salary and things like that? Even a General Manager in a company of 1,000 staffs earn more. This obviously leads to corruption and yet we continue asking ourselves why these imbeciles steal from the government? As a result, they take away millions if not billions (all corrupted ministers combined) and spend it outside the country so that Malaysians do not know about their ‘panjang tangan’ activities. When you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.Period.
For a small country like ours, we are involved in too much politics. I am not very smart Tun, and that’s why I need SMARTER people to administer this land on my behalf and the rest of 27 millions like me.
I am utterly dissapointed. 27 Million others are too.
Assallamualaikum.w.b. Y.A.Berbahagia Tun semuga sihat dan di lindungi Allah hendaknya.
Saya amat tertarik dengan tulisan Y.A.Bhg Tun tentang ” we need a strong government.” Tiada apa cacat celanya pendapat Y.A.Bhg Tun malah ia adalah sangat di perlukan bagi negara kita. Terkenang kembali semasa pemerintahan Y.A.Bhg Tun semua ini telah di letakkan pada asas yang sungguh cantik dan baik oleh Y.A.Bhg Tun tetapi ia di rosakkan oleh orang-orang di sekeliling Tun yang mempergunakan kepercayaan yang Tun berikan. Mereka-mereka ini lah the Yes men yang begitu lembut lidahnya di depan Tun tetapi di belakang Tun mereka pemusnah dan perosak bangsa dan negara. Jika orang-orang ini berwibawa sudah tentu banyak misi yang Tun harapkan telah berjaya seperti Proton , MEC city , Perwaja , MAS dan berbagai-bagai lagi.Jadi apa yang saya ingin cadangkan ialah sebuah kerajaan yang kuat perlu di iringi dengan peminpin beserta ahli kabinet yang berintegriti dan berwibawa melaksanakan dasar dasar yang di bawa. Parlimen memerlukan barisan ahli kebinet pemerintah yang kuat dan berilmu untuk membahas segala polisi kerajaan dengan terbuka dan sihat. Bukan sekadar hanya sebagai ” endorser “. Ahli kebinet kerajaan yang memerintah perlu menunjukkan kewibawaan sebagai wakil rakyat yang membawa amanat rakyat. Kerajaan perlu di lihat sebagai menjaga kepentingan rakyat dan bukan sebagai beban kepada rakyat.

All of us have been saying that Dolah only pretends to be stupid, but in reality he is the smartest, probably smarter than TDMM.
Today, it’s proven that Dolah is not a lame duck at all. He has set the trap for Najib, the so-called PM in-waiting, loves by all UMNO members.
Look, how smart Dolah has made the kill, while agreeing to give way to the much orchestrated UMNO-deal for the transition of the beholder of the power house of the country, he unwittingly decided to swap the finance with the defence portfolio to the surprise of everybody.
This is the bait he strategically set for Najib. As everybody knows, five months is neither five days, nor five hours. Dolah’s patience has netted the UMNO big spot leopard.
Najib probably may have survived the scopian deal, but this time Dolah has caught Najib red handed in the signing of the Letter Of Intent for the purchase of 12 units of Eurocopter worth 2.317 billion Ringgit.
Bravo Dolah. And for TDMM’s desire to coach Najib as the new PM looks like a long way to go. A five months could be a five year wait after all.
Sdra Kuyom….
Jangan buang masa anda untuk memikirkan “lawak gila” pakpandir 08.Biarkan dia terjun dengan labu – labunya.Pak pandir umpama orang kalah menyabung.Taji ayam turut disalahkan.Relax….wahai sdra kuyom.Siapalah sangat dengan pakpandir 08 tu jika dibandingkan dengan TDM. Marilah kita berdoa agar TDM dan keluarga sihat sejahtera untuk menaburkan bakti untuk rakyat Malaysia. Doakan juga agar orang seperti pakpandir 08 diberi hidayah dan cepat bertaubat sebelum masuk ke liang lahad.YANG PASTI doakan kemenangan Datuk Mukhriz yang menjadi waris kepimpinan TDM. Kemana tumpahnya kuah….

salam Tun,
I pity Mohd Sivakumar Art Pillay.
He gives Indians and all Saudara Baru (muslim converts) a bad impression.
Obviously he needs urgent psychiatric treatment.For therapy I suggest he read Joceline Tan’s article on Tun at The Star Online dated 12 October 2008.
He will then finally realise that MOST OF US love Tun and his legacy.
As for Kilmer and the likes,we know who he is.I do not want to waste my time entertaining perverts and voyeurs.
Jeng3
Tun,
Dengan izin;
MOHD SIVAKUMAR ART PILLAY, “Anyway your days in free are numbered, And matter of time you have to be placed in Sungai Buloh for the good of all malaysians and the malays in particular.”
1. I am Malay and Malaysian, and I DO NOT NEED AN IDIOT LIKE YOU TO REPRESENT ME OR SPEAK ON MY BEHALF!
2. Speak for yourself, you INGRATE & IMBECILE SPECIES!
Thank you, Tun, and PLEASE IGNORE the likes of MOHD SIVAKUMAR ART PILLAY, as these pests DO EXIST WITHIN OUR MIDST!
Sometimes saya terfikir jugak keadaan semasa dan politik sekarang dengan isu sosial..Saya di sini berkawan dan bergaul dengan berbagai bangsa dan kami masih bergurau senda dan sama-sama menjalankan perniagaan.Dan paling selalu isu yang menghairankan kami adalah ketegangan kaum dan sosial?!Benarkah itu yang terjadi atau ia cuma sekadar isu yang dimainkan oleh bijak pandai dan politician untuk mengalihkan keadaan sebenar? Setiap hari saya berjoging dan saya masih melihat tidak ada apa2 yang tegang..Tidak ada pergaduhan….masing-masing masih memberi senyuman ikhlas dan sapaan yang ramah. Kadang-kadang saya terfikir ini bukan isu rakyat..malah kebanyakkan rakyat malaysiapun masih menhormati satu sama lain..yang bermasam,yang bergaduh cuma,ketua2 parti,,yang politician..penyokong yang membuta-tuli,,dan bijak pandai yang pandai mengalih perhatian..So plz stop the nonsense..jangan ada-adakan yang tiada.sekiranya keharmonian yang masih stabil..so kekalkan..lupakanlah sekadar yang kecil2 dan remeh-temeh.Saya khuatir kalau yang tiada ini terlalu berlarutan akan menjadi kebenaran dan Malaysia akan seperti indonesia..

Mmg betul tu Tun. Klu gomen tak kuat, orang2/persatuan2/parti2 yg kecil pun akan tunjuk taring. Inilah yg jadinya sekarang. Pak Lah tak boleh kawal apa yg terjadi dlm Malaysia, semua buat tuntutan masing2. Yg best tu, aleh2 Pak Lah diberi gelaran “Bapa Demokrasi” oleh parti Gerakan. Ini bukan nama demokrasi. Ini namanya pengecut! Seseorang yg berkuasa mesti tahu mengawal org2 bawahannya. ambil tindakan klu mereka tak perform. Bagi anugerah klu mereka deliver. Parti Gerakan yg kalah habis dlm PRU12 tu pun boleh minta mcm2 dari kerajaan (UMNO especially), apatah lagi pembangkang yg kawal 5 negeri!
Sebab tu sampai sekarang takde cerita mengenai pemulihan ekonomi negara. Asyik nak padamkan api2 dlm negara saja!
You better perform Najib or else……
Assalamualaikum Ayahanda Tun yg di kasehi….
Selamat Hari Raya kepada Ayahanda sekeluarga…
Alhamdullillah…Datok Seri Najib akan memimpin parti dan negara.Semuga parti dan negara yg tercinta akan bertambah aman,makmor dan kukuh dibawah pentadbiran DSN.Olih itu mari lah rakyat Malaysia sekelian ,marilah kita bersatu padu dalam memakmurkan negara yg tercinta ini
.Semuga ayahanda Tun cepat2 kembali kedalam UMNO.Bantulah DSN dgn tunjuk ajar seperti seorang bapa kepada anaknya kerana bapa mana yg tidak mahu melihat anak dia berjaya.Berilah idea2 dan pandangan2 yang bernas dalam memperkukuhkan parti UMNO dan BN serta turut memperkukuhkan negara yg tercinta ini.Kembalilah segera wahai Ayahanda Tun kedalam UMNO.Saya juga berharap semuga DSN menerima dengan hati terbuka idea2 dan pandangan2 bernas yg ayahanda Tun berikan juga kalau bolih melantik ayahanda Tun sebagai PENASIHAT SEUMUR HIDUP UMNO.Saya turut menyeru semuga ahli2 UMNO tak kira pangkat ..yg kecil dan yg besar…terus mengukuhkan barisan dalam menghadapi dunia yg makin mencabar ini dan harus diingat semua ahli2 UMNO mempunyai tanggungjawab dalam memperkukuhkan parti yg tercinta ini.Untuk pengetahuan sekelian bahawa UMNO dan BN maseh dan tetap relevan dalam memperjuangkan agenda rakyat dan negara.Marilah kita bekerja bersungguh2 dalam memberi perkhidmatan yg terbaik kepada masyarakat dan rakyat Malaysia .Semuga pada PRU13, BN akan berjaya menawan kembali negeri2 yg telah di tawan olih pembangkang.

Saya berdoa semuga ayahanda Tun sekeluarga diberkati dan dipanjangkan usia olih Allah….aminnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
The success of a country depends on competent leaders and committed citizens.
In a democratic system, a government is formed by the people for the people.
But when the people treat the government like the enemy, it is like shooting one’s own foot.
Why are certain groups going all out to slam the government elected by the majority of the people? Why are they listening to voices of dissent? Who are actually instigating the people? What is their motive?
When people start questioning those who keep whispering words of hatred against the government, the instigations will stop naturally.
It is time Malaysians work together to make the country strong. Stop listening to people who are out to break us apart.
A good government will be a strong government because they would have the people’s support.
assalamualaikum tun,
we do need a strong gov.im quite worried with our government stability for now.do the new PM be able to step up and fix evrytg?
i really pray that there will be more leaders like you Tun.
may God less u n your family.
n happy hari raya!! (^_^)
Dear YAB Tun Dr.M,
With respect…
Are you suggesting Autocrat leadership or the leader should be a Dictator to have a strong government?
I believe the last GE result actually meant that the people of Malaysia had enough with BN….They realized that it is time to come out from the coconut shell and make changes by using their right in voting power.
They had enough with this corrupted government. The BN given the last chance in 2004 where by BN won with highest majority recorded in history of Malaysia. We gave one last chance to the new PM (AAB)to make the changes and he even failed all Malaysian. The BN government still could not come out clean. That is the main reason the 2008 GE the majority reduced tremendously.
If this government continues with the same agenda and principle, then the next GE we can see the change in government.
It is not weak or strong government the people wants…What the people of Malaysia wants is a CLEAN government. If the ruling government comes out clean then automatically the people will be taken cared. For last almost 30 years what we see is “Harapkan pagar, pagar makan padi”…..
Thank you.
ASSALAMUALAIKUM AYAHANDA TUN…

Assalamualikum Tun
DSNR kat dalam the Star – âI HUMBLY and SINCERELY wish to offer myself as a candidate for the Umno presidency,â announced Najib at a Hari Raya Aidilfitri reception with Terengganu Umno.
Utusan/ Bharian – gelaran yang diberi pada Paklah. Paklah- Bapa pembaharuan demokrasi
Rasa jijik/ mengjengkelkan bile dengar statement/phrase ni walaupon dah lebih seminggu berlalu.
Tak ade ke sesapa yang rasa sama yang macam saya rasa?
fahmi
Tun,
To JJJ,
Again i like to emphasize here that all my comments are between me and TUN, no concern of yours or anyone in that matter. If i had said something about a particular race i belief firstly i am entitled and secondly there must be some truth to it, regardless of whether you agree or not. The true history not the one we read in school proves my point.
And another thing a web blog is a medium to understand the subject matter, critize and decide for one self, without being an imbecile like you. When i wirte in this blog it is between me and TUN, Which by the way I HAVE TOTAL AND ABSOLUTE RESPECT FOR.
It is obvious your judgement and discrimination faculty has failed you. In other words your intellect is not really working. Have a nice day.
TUN would love to read more of your articles and understanding on relevant issues. Agree to disagree human nature…
Salam Hormat Tun,,,,
Saya setuju cakap Tun. Apa yang saya harapkan semoga selepas ini bila Dato Seri Najib jadi PM, perubahan ‘drastic’ perlu di buat. bukan sahaja Kerajaan yg kuat tetapi berani membuat keputusan. THE GOOD LEADER IS THE FIRM DECISION MAKER. Bukan macam sekarang TOO SLOW….
Wassalam
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
Tun,
Perasaan binggung, sakit hati dan kuathir sentiasa ada dalan diri saya selepas pilihanraya yang terbaru ini. Soalnya bukanlah sebuah kerajaan yang kuat atau tidak tapi lebih kepada perpecahan bangsa sendiri yang lebih hebat daripada senario kafir mengkafir terdahulu.
Saya binggung kerana mencari punca sebenarnya senario ini, sakit hati melihat perpecahan bangsa sendiri dan diketawakan oleh kaum yang lain dengan pelbagai isu dan kuathir dengan masa depan anak-anak selepas kita dah tiada di dunia ini.
Inilah permainan rakyat sekarang dan didalangi oleh orang yang bergelar pemimpin tetapi sebenarnya bukan pemimpin tetapi politikus. Itulah akibatnya kalau segala perbuatan bersadarkan sebab yang dihalalkan yang sepatutnya bersandarkan agama.
Masyarakat kiita secara umumnya dah buta batiniah bukannya buta lahiriah. Cubalah renungkan sebentar dalam konteks sebagai muslim bersandarkan tauhid. Kemana arah kita sebenarnya??
Kerajaan baru akan ditubuhkan pada Disember sempena raya haji kata DSAI. Dulu 16 september. Masih lagi ada yang tak dapat melihat dengan mata hati perkara sebenarnya. DSAI tak gentlemen langsung. Orang kurang bercakap kerja jalan, ini subahannallah..
Di sebelah kerajaan pulak tak habis-habis “Kita prihatin” tapi apakah prihatinnya kerajaan sampai terbaru Shah Rukh Khan dapat Dato’. Benda banggang mana yang dah masuk dalam kepala mereka yang berkuasa ni.
Apa kesudahan nya. Tertunaikah amanah kita setiap muslim sebagai khalifah dan tidak akan disoalkah kita nanti oleh Rabbi apabila si anu jadi PM dan si amu jadi ketua pembangkang.
Inilah dia apabila hati mendahului segalanya.
Wallahualam.
Wassalam

Dah nama pun Pak Pakdir. Bodoh macam pak pak pandir lah.
Ada faham kah apa yang TUN lakukan selama ini ada lah untuk kepengtingan majority rakyat. TUN mewakili suara kehendak majoriti rakyat Malaysia.
Tak nampak pun cara TUN ini untuk kepentingan peribadi dan keluarga nya. Jangan lah pak pandir membuat tafsiran yang salah. Majority rakyat mahu perubahan dan menolak seorang pemimpin yang lemah. Ini telah pun diterima oleh seluruh rakyat Malaysia akan peralihan dan pengunduran Pak Lah dalam waktu terdekat ini.
Kenapa pak pandir maseh ad2a apa2 projek lagi ker nak mintak pada Pak Lah? Dan cuba menuduh TUN pulak.
Pak pandir maseh tidur. Orang2 muda lah yang ramai menyanjungi TUN masa kini. Apa Pak pandir dah buat survey seluruh negara ker yang mengatakan TUN dibenci rakyat. Nampak sangat lah bohong nya.
Yang sebenar diceruk mana kita pergi kat Malaysia hari ini rata2 rakyat tak suka pada Pak Lah.Kat pasar malam. kat kedai kopi. di setesen bas. kat airport. dalam teksi.dalam lift,dalam bas kat pejabat2. semua kata Pak Lah lemah. Tak pandai mentadbir negara.
Pak Lah akui ini kerana itu dia terpaksa lepaskan jawatan nya.
Kalau TUN tu tamak kuasa, TUN tak kan lepaskan kuasa nya pada Pak Lah.Masa tu pak pandir kat mana? kat US,kat UK, kat bulan? Tak nampak kah keadaan Malaysia waktu itu. Aman, maju,rakyat mewah dan nama Malaysia harum serata dunia. Tapi hari ini apa dah jadi.
Dah lah pak pandir tak payah lah nak pengaruhi fikiran bloggers disini. Kami bukan nya bodoh untuk membuat penilaian sendiri.
Pak Pandir + x mulah = Pak Lolah + – kj. 2×5=10

I agreed with your writting.
Assalam Tun,
Betyi tu…kalau konon asyik nak transparent, pengabisnya – kerja dok explain…pemerintah yang waras should categories their priority, mana2 patut bagitau rakyat – polisi, ok le, certain level PNC takleh le…dah tu kena sensitive ngan kehendak rakyat, sekarang ni kami bukan bodoh lagi…undi protes pun dia tak percaya, pengampu bagi cerita sedap aje…cerita yang dia hendak dengar aje
Nasib baik cetusan Tun ada, dapatlak si Muhidin sambut dan lambung dan ada pulak bahagian2 umno yang menimbang2, kalau tak hancus – apa mimpi si khairy nak jadi ketua pemuda, sebelum paklah naik, sapa pun tak kenai, bukan nak kata – naik cepat turun pun cepat!
yang betul2 getir macam muhidin ok la, najib = 50% senang kena goyang, afdal =ok ada pendirian, pemerintah mesti ada base yg kuat, kalau macam lalang , kejap tu kejap ni – Hishamudin, susah le…! gertak sikit…gigil, amenda ISA esok masuk minggu lepas keluar, siap bagi komen – makanan la, sekarang ni kata culik, be firm le…
tangkap – habis, yes or no mana ada if,….apa le

Salam Tun,
I’m with you Tun, definitely Malaysia needs a strong leader that can lead the country like you. The leader should not be easily scared by any threat either from foreign or domestically.
Currently it seems that everyone have something to say, the media also were very more than happy to write as more news is more $. There are too many ideas and nothing could be done because of time were wasted discussing these ideas which.
Ideas are good but it must be align with the country’s vision and mission as well as it should be agreed by majority before it should even discussed. This is where sometimes I think veto power of the PM should come into play to avoid time and money wasted.
The opposition is trying their level best to stop any improvement or major accomplishment by the ruling govt. In the same time giving a lots of stupid ideas which appeared to be very “rakyat thing’ but actually does not have big impact to the country.
Salam YDK Tun & Tun & Famili.
Pertama sekali saya ucapkan tahniah kepada Datuk Mukhriz atas kejayaanya. Berhati-hati Datuk, the parasit KJ is wounded now surely he will abuse the out-going father in law’s limited power to revenge during the election.
Good, Strong, Charismatic, Visionary, Knowleagable, Respected are some of the ingredients in making of a reputable leader. Having power is just the fundamental but ability to use the power intelligently is more important. Well, the superpower USA have kneel down to our great former Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in following the receipe to save their soo called superpower USA economy and their GLC’s and Banks.
Malaysian’s, we are blessed to have a Prime Minister in Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in our lifetime. Believe it or not. BELIEVE IT.
As for Hindraf’s issue, the weakness in our current government have lead to the unrespectful events by many. Well, we have a Mr Niceguy, Mr Clean, Mr Democratic, Mr Transparent, Mr Reform, Mr Hadari etc.. etc only to pull down our beloved country into chaos, and uncertainty largely created by political people.
The price of fuel is surely coming down below US70 let see if Mr Clean and Mr Democrate will bring down the petrol and diesel below RM2 p/l by end of this month.
I pray that YDK Tun & Tun will be in goodhealth in many years to come. I dont see good, strong, credible and intelligent leader in near future.
Take care YDK Tun.

Salam Tun..
Why not you come back and be our PM once more.. Or maybe have your son run for the presidency? How smart is Datuk Najib anyways? I hope history wont repeat itself by having him dominated by his cronies and wives and families.. just like the KJ over Pak Lah all over again. SIgh
Your comment shows very clearly that malaysian politics are indispensable.There are no other leader in UMNO to substitute DAAB,To the extent,You have to call the senile man to lead our country again with all the Draconian laws in place again and rule like HITLER.
That could have been possible 5 yrs ago and now he may be eliminated shamefully from power.If you have the intention,(Tun Mahathir) Try leading the country as the past and you will get the boot instantly and maybe worst than any other leaders in the world.
You are not respected and most of the malaysian hates you for 22 yrs of AUTROCIOUS and Obnoxious Rule.As,Has been said in the past,Donate to charity all the money you have made from the TAX Payers and repent,So that your sins can be reduced.Anyway your days in free are numbered,And matter of time you have to be placed in Sungai Buloh for the good of all malaysians and the malays in particular.
Mohd SivaKumar
Salam.. Tun,
What I wish for… “IF You could have Live on for the next Century”.
You are a great leader and outspoken personality. Always has been, actually… I have feared the worst when you had decided to step down as PM.. and without a doubt, what had happened is exactly I have forseen the Future Of Malaysia becoming.
And, that’s the time, I have shaken and knowing what holds the future of malaysia that you and all of us had worked so hard eversince 1985 are going to the drain just like a flick of our fingers
Anyway, Hope it is not Too Late, and assumed that the next PM will carried out responsibilites accordingly as plan to 2020.
I always regards you as PM… not ex.PM. Malaysia still needs you, and I need you. You had brought A Good Name all over the world.. and I am truly proud as a Malaysian. Not until then, the present PM and administration. I am depressed and disappointed with his responsibilites and leadership.
It is not easy as A,B,C to become a leader.. But, I am hoping your sons or daughter will become our Future PM one day..
It runs within the blood, I believe.
Frankly, I don’t think much about politics or BN. But, I do vote.
Most important for me if we could live happily together with economic stabilty; A Great Leader to be proud and lookup to; A Great Country to live in; ‘0’ inflation; and everyone you see or met in the streets are smiling….
Well, Tun… I hope you could do something or whatever possibly you could for our next new PM and years to come.
I am so worried what will happen when you will not be around in the future….
Please take care of your health…. Your name and the things you had done will always in my heart and
will most certainly pass on to my children, grand children, etc..etc.. about how a Great Person and Leader you are…..
The Father of Malaysia! I love you…

salam tun
aku rase la rakyat ni mmg tak kesah sgt pasal rasuah ke kronisme nepotisme bagai..
asalkan makan minum cukup, nak g sana sini senang, dapat belajar..dapat hidup mcm zaman tun dulu.
zaman tun dulu pun byk je rasuah, tapi rakyat xde la amik pusing sgt asalkan perut kenyang.
lagi stu nak tanya tun ni
mcm mane nak jadi mcm tun?
1. Bad leadership results in bad govt. Even Pak lah admitted that his popularity drops between the 2004 and 2008 election but he is not ashamed of it! “Bapa Democracy”??? Most people would have difficuly in remembering your excellent deeds except knowing that you are “Bapa Mertua KJ” or “Bapaku Kahwin Lagi”, while in office. Basically, If you fail to deliver, it falls to the leader. Period!You could have chosen the right man power/people for the cabinet to implement your ideas.
2. I agree to one of the comments that we actually need only 1 type of education system ie. No chinese/tamil based education/school as this is where the actual problem lies. A very good Example is when a 20+ yr old Indian who can’t speak Malay when detained by the Immigration Dept. and still proud to claim a M’sian and has the guts to sue the immigration dept.! She should be deported or given a red IC! This is a disgrace to the nation who wants to be a developed country in about just over 10 yrs from now. The govt. should reduce funding to these national types school as the integration should start early. There is less prejudice among kids as only the parents sow the racial ideas as they grow up. If most children go to the national type school then we don’t need National Service! NS is not the solution but a mitigation effort to enhance the integration but it is too little too late (what do you expect in 2 mths!) and cost millions and lives! The problem is that the NS is the brainchild of the PM in waiting.
3. Najib has too much unsolved issues which could jeopardise the BN chances of retaining power. Nevertheless should he became the PM, he should pick a new cabinet where its members that have some integrity and good PR skills. Please drop for eg Nazri, Noh Omar, and Muhamad Taib as not much seems to be done by them anyway.
4. By the way, please STRONGLY advice MIC members to have a new leader as Samy Velu has past his timeline! MIC members please be brave on this. I would strongly believe that only that will enable to bring back the Indians to the BN.
5. Tun, With your experience and long sighted vision, you should return as advisor to the cabinet. I don’t want “Pisang Berbuah Dua Kali” where Pak Lah wants to do it his way without getting advice from someone who is more experience (may be kiasu) but then fails miserably.
6. Najib please take note as the knife is already out and unless you managed to control your cabinet and Rosmah image, I think you career could be even shorter than Pak Lah as the opposition would win by the next general election, latest 2013.
hello sir,
Yes, we do need strong governments everywhere, especially here. However, strong governments need strong personalities to be leaders.
In the Malaysian senario, how many truly strong leaders do we have? If we look at the current BN led government. They were unwilling to have a backbone and challenge the leadership until now (and luckily not till 2010 as was earlier proposed). The Supreme council after much drama finally decided that they have had enough of Pak Lah but the decision was late (In my opinion) and may or may not be enough time to stop the problem within BN from becomming larger.
Back to strong personalities to be strong leaders in a strong government: Notice that some of the personalities were part of your cabinet when you were in charge. Why aren’t they strong enough to keep things in check? These individuals were part of your ‘successful’ team. I may name a few, finance minister no2, ex Intl. Trade minister, an ex works minister (who overstayed his position) , etc.
Why is it that when you left, these same individuals who were retained undoubtedly ‘fail to perform’ in certain aspects under the current leadership of ‘Mr Why Should I step down, I’ve got work to do (while I sleep)”?
Do we have strong leadership to have a supposedly strong government?
Will there be any difference once the transition of power happens sometime next year as it is basically the same group of people (with a few exceptions)?
Will we have a strong government then?

Assalamualaikum Tun
Selamat Hari Raya AIdilfitri dan Maaf Zahir Batin diatas kesalahan atau kutukan yang pernah saya lemparkan pada Tun. Diharapkan Tun dapat memaafkan segala-segalanya. Ingin sekali saya bersalaman dengan Tun tapi apakan daya hajat tak kesampaian. Harap Tun tidak keberatan.
Dear Tun, by the way u ar still fit & handsome love u & Hasmah
Salan buat Dr Siti Hasmah
Akum TUN dan semua.
100% bersetuju dengan pandangan TUN ; Justeru itu, malaysia memerlukan pemimpin yang mempunyai kualiti yang berbeza yaitu kepimpinana yang “strategic and effective”. Untuk mencapai tahap ini kualiti dan kebolehan yang diperlukan adalah merupakan seseorang yang berilmu, charismatic, visionary dan mempunyai kebolehan untuk berhadapan dengan cabaran yang “multicomplexity”. Ciri2 seperti ini cuma ada pada TUN sahaja.
Saya harap pemimpin pengganti selepas Pak lah (tidak mempunyai apa2 attributes or skills needed to be effective and strategic leader) mesti lah mempunyai ciri2 tersebut dan berguru la pada TUN.
Saya baru pulang dari Indonesia dan politik di Malaysia diamati begitu serius oleh rakyat Indonesia dan saya amat bangga kerana TUN begitu di disanjungi di sana dan mereka turut berbangga memepunyai pemimpin islam yang berkaliber seperti TUN. “KEMBANG HIDUNG SAYA APABILA TUN DIPUJI SEBAGAI PEMIMPIN DUNIA ISLAM DAN DUNIA KETIGA”.
Harapan saya Datuk Seri Najib harus bijak menagani isu malaysia selepas ini dan jgn segan2 mendapat nasihat daripada TUN untuk kebaikan rakyat keseluruhannya.
Ramai yang irihati pada TUN dan mereka semua cuba laga laga kan TUN dan DS Najib dan pemimpin UMNO yang lain. Sebab mereka ingin lihat UMNO lemah dan tidak berupaya. Diantaranya ZAID IBRAHIM menteri yang tidak mempunyai kualiti.
Untuk makluman ada juga segelintir manusia cuba laga lagakan TUN dgn Ku li dan DS Najib. Niat mereka ini untuk memastikan UMNO terus bergolak dan akan mengambil kesempatan dari keadaan ini.

I beg to differ. When is racial politics ever good? You blame a incompetent government but I say it is corrupted government who wants to hang on to the good old days of doing business by using racial politics. In America, race relationship was really bad in the 50’s and 60’s and that country has already shown you the way of how to do it right by having rules to protect the minorities right. The Supreme Court makes sure that the country’s law are interpreted fairly and protects all citizens rights behest of whether they are rich or poor. You dismiss the judiciary branch and vote in a new law every time you feel like it in the legislative BN controlled govt. There should be a separation of power in the executive, legislative and judiciary branches of government to check and countercheck each other. You are all of it when you were in power. That is called “Dictatorship” in a stealthy way.
Why didn’t you make amendments to the country’s draconian law or set equality law for all Malaysians when you were in power? Why didn’t you even try to educate the majority to accept minorities instead of polarizing them? You were a weaker leader than Pak Lah as you are were a control freak and an egomaniac who is in the mold of Sadaam Hussein and Kim Jong Ill. Now you talk like you are the savior of the country and has all these ideas. I have more respect for a Mr Lee Kuan Yew 43 years ago with his ideas and ideals than you. He was a man way ahead of his time and thinking and has steered our beloved other part of the same country down a properous path while your policies has set the course for failure. Pak lah inherited your demise. Even if you were in power, you would have lost the 5 major states. That’s the people’s will.
Thank you. You have spoken on our behalf again. On behalf of Malaysians.
1. To our current so-called ‘government leaders’ (or can we call you ‘jokers’?) : Take heed. You don’t need to go far to get facts. Just visit this blog, absorb the contents and use it for your benefit as ‘leaders’ and for the ‘rakyat’.
2. To our current so-called ‘government leaders'(phfttt..) : Wake-up. Stop being stupid. We ‘rakyat’ are not stupid. We know what is ‘going-on’ up there where majority of you ‘government leaders’ are not working for the ‘rakyat’ but for ‘yourselves’.
3. To the future so-called ‘leaders’ : If you think you are ‘leaders’, PROVE IT. So far we ‘rakyat’ have seen none.
Dearest Tun,
Memang benar we need a strong Government. Nampaknya demand kumpulan tertentu dah keterlauan dan mereka tak segan silu lagi dan sangat berani, terutama Hindraf.
Personal experience, bila ada orang block kereta depan rumah, selalunya memang Hindraf. Kita terpaksa tunggu dan mereka tak ambil kisah pun. Kat simpang jalan main park saja dan intimidation semasa memandu pun mereka, memotong sebelah kiri dan jump que. Kalau kita marah, honk, memang kenalah..
Semalam lagi menakutkan. Ada geng Hindraf yang dah target tanah saya, dia nak beli. Tapi saya tak nak jual. Dah berapa bulan dia call dan datang rumah! Macam mana dia tahu pun tak tahulah saya. Bila tanya dia mengelak. Semalam, dia suruh lawyer call, cheque nak tulis nama siapa dan ejaan nama yang penuh. Bila kita kata tanah tidak hendak di jual, lawyer tu kata dia cuma mengikut arahan.. Tak tahu apa akan terjadi lagi.. beraninya mereka. Hak orang buat macam hak sendiri..
We need a strong government!
to my dearest tun,
i strongly agree.
races/ religin issue are very sensative, especailly we livin in multi races country. if one races say thing bad to other races, the fight will begin, and end up a very,very hurt feeling. and as Malaysian, we do hope this will not happen. since independant on year 1957, we are lucky only had a 513 issue, and the reason is imbalance of economy between the races. i believe, if all races can enjoy a high living standard (like USA, though the white & black still have different), we Malaysia can catch up as strong as our neighbour, Singpaore..
with stability in politic (of course with a strong government),our races can working together for a better furure….
we pray for our future, the next generation future, hope that Malaysia will remain as peaceble/ harmony for another 50 years, at least, and still looking for next open house for mutli races celebration..
thank you,
have a good reading, for the those join in for dereast Tun blog..
Assalamualaikum Tun,
Just to let you know, of all the MT’s I prefer Dato’ Seri Syed Hamid Albar to be among the deputy. Why is he left very far behind? I dont see any reason for this. I have seen how he faced Singaporeans before in a one-on-one encounter. He have the quality that you have, Tun. Just want to know what happened to him.
Thanks.
Sallam Tun,
Janganlah hendak menafikan yang rakyat Malaysia hidup di dalam keadaan harmoni sepanjang zaman Tun memerintah.
Sifat perkauman dan curiga mencuriga di antara kaum tetap tebal sepanjang zaman Tun memerintah dan macam hidup dalam keadaan di mana “bomb that is set to explode anytime”.
Cuma Tun pandai gunakan konsep “jika semua rakyat senang dan kaya dengan harta benda, mereka akan takut atau lupa hendak berkelahi dan hanya tertumpu kepada menjada harta benda mereka…..inilah yang ditamankan konsep hidup zaman Tun iaItu “FORM OVER SUBSTANCE”… takut berperang dan mati dan akanhilang harta sifat MATERIALISTIK ITU SEBENARNYA YANG TUN BERJAYA TANAM DI DALAM JIWA RAKYAT MALAYSIA…..
Wallahu’alam
Saya sungguh dukacita apabila membaca coretan pakpandir08 yang bagi saya sungguh dangkal dan berbau emosi semata….tuduhan2 yang x berasas yang dilemparkan amatlah melucukan dan mengecewakan saya kerana ianya lahir dari seorang rakyat malaysia yang telah sama2 menikmati hasil dan usaha Tun sebagai PM malaysia selama 22 Tahun.Tuduhan bahawa tun cuba mengaut hasil negara adalah terlalu keras dan tidak berasas…..saya merasakan bahawa beliau tergolong dari golongan manusia yang tidak bersyukur dan tidak matang menilai corak pemerintahan dan diri Tun sendiri.Tun tidak perlukan harta bertimbun kerana Tun sendiri sudah kaya dengan budi dan ilmu….anak2 tun berjaya kerana usaha sendiri tanpa ada campurtangan dari Tun dan kini anak beliau adalah antara org melayu yg terkaya di malaysia.Tohmahan bahawa rakyat malaysia membenci Tun juga bagi saya hanyalah fantasi beliau kerana semua golongan di malaysia dari kecil hingga dewasa menyayangi dan memerlukan tun….wahai rakan2 yang menghormati tun adakah tergamak kita membiar golongan seperti pakpandir 08 ini terus bebas melemparkan kata2 dusta dan kotor ini kepada tun????dimanakan tanggunjawap kita mempertahankan Tun????
Dear Tun,
The 2/3 majority which was in place for 53 years most certainly created a strong Govt. It is gone now. Can the BN get it back? To cut to the quick, there is no other way for strong Govt.
The crucial factor is that the Malay vote is now split, almost an even 50/50 or maybe less in favour of UMNO/BN. In 1999 the Malay vote was also split, hence Trengganu was lost. But in 1999 the Chinese and Indian vote swung solidly in favour of BN. Hence the 2/3 held for the BN.
Now even the Chinese and Indian vote is gone. In my view the Chinese and Indian votes are imperative – both for the BN and the Pakatan. Because of the split in the Malay vote, the Chinese and Indian vote will be thrust into greater prominence than ever before. They will be kingmakers.
I think the Pakatan has understood this quite well. With 50% of Malay support already with them, the Pakatan are focusing on the non Malays, quite succesfully. Unfortunately UMNO has not understood this. UMNO is seemingly not too bothered with Chinese & Indian sentiment. Electorally this attitude will not be too detrimental if UMNO has solid support of the Malays. But, this is not the case anymore.
I believe the first order of the day is for the new PM to jump start the economy. We have to go from 5%-6% growth to 8% or better, which was the norm in your time. And all this rhetoric and tension should be toned down completely. This should improve things in the country tremendously.
Governing with less than 2/3 majority is greenfield for UMNO. So far UMNO seems to be erratic how to deal with the situation. UMNO is not handling issues well. More thinking, more wits are needed. It is not impossible to be a good and popular Govt despite the new reality.
Syed Akbar Ali.
A’kum Tun & Chedet Blog readers,
* Sadly, simple majority does not cut out for any coalition to form
a strong government. Reflect back event in the past months we can
see how the opposition intimidates the present government and the
latest with claims many BN MPs cross over to the other side. This
gives bad image to the outside world with government cannot
effectively execute its policies. Traders realize the present
government are no longer assertive have raise price. NGOs
publicly raise sensitive issues which is unprecedented.
* On the other hand, it matters if the coalition is lead by an
influential and strong figure. The leader cannot surround
himself with advisers coincidently with blood ties. People need
a leader that place nation interest above his family.

Y.A.Bhg Tun,
I agree the current government is weak. It’s easier to do damages than fixing them, and it takes longer to fix.
It goes back to leadership. Just like the saying ‘bapak borek anak rintik’. In leadership, if the leader shows bad example, most of the times, the others will follow, apart from taking advantage of the leader’s weaknesses.
My worry is, even if Dato Seri Najib were to be the next PM, will he be able to fix the damages. If the ones advising behind the scene are the same as the current ones, I don’t think Dato Seri Najib will make any improvements. We will be back in the same loop.
I feel the country is not as ‘muhibah’ as before. It’s strange. I think the government should relook at how to make the rakyat happy at the same time respect each other’s religion and race. There should be some level of equality, especially when it comes to education.
salam Tun,
to Kilmer,
thanks for your remark to me and adamjohari (actually you are missing out on many many more commentators who criticise you).
You are right to be entitled to your opinions,as much as I am to mine.
But never go overboard.Never belittle another race like you are so goddamn good and righteous.
In previous articles by Tun,there were so many hateful and spiteful comments aimed at Malays by sick and deranged commentators (you included).
You reap what you sow.
Jeng3
hai tun, hope u r fine n pls take care drink more water. i wish 2 make a comment n if i am wrong pls correct me. malay today is getting smarter n smarter, much has migrate to town n lots have very good education,in fact all the frield u have participation of malay, the problem with some learned malay they still think malay is still not that smart n easy to handle, always think twice before handle your own people, they r not 51 years ago punya malay lagi.tq
Salam Tun,
Tun seorang yg dihormati dalam negara dan luar negara.
Akan tetapi ketika saya membaca komen2 yg didalam blog Tun, semuanya “Yes man” yg tiada pemikiran kritika.
mereka ini seakan2 kanak2 yg hanya tahu bersetuju dgn apa yg disebut Tun.
Pada pendapat saya, Tun seorang yg bijak dan berpemikiran critical serta seorang analisis hebat.
Saya berharap Tun tidak terlalu “overwhelmed” oleh komen2 yg berkurangan nas, yg hanya tahu bersetuju tetapi tidak dapat mengeluarkan walau secebis pandangan yg tersendiri yg bernas.
Those who are surrounded by fools will be one. I hope this is not truue on you, sir.
To rarunasalam on October 14, 2008 1:30 AM — yes .. so open that everyone is absolutely free to say absolutely anything about absolutely everything and the govt should absolutely sit doing nothing .. like now.

To lebaikudin on October 14, 2008 2:54 AM — jangan kacau Tan Lian Hoe ni, nanti tak dapat pangkat bapak demokrasik, nanti dicap racist, Tan tak apa kerana dah ultra pun.
To Hafiz on October 14, 2008 5:05 AM — jangan puji sangat sangat TDM, marah nanti Anwar, yang telah dilantik penasihat ekonomi US, yang telah mengaku (di Hong Kong) bahawa dia yang telah mengutarakan formula mengatasi masaalah ekonomi 1997-1998 dahulu.
To luvmal on October 14, 2008 5:18 AM — no. you are most qualified to be our next PM. Hidup luvmal.
To kingnocrown on October 14, 2008 6:33 AM — WHAT??? But JDM said that this Anwar is now the economic adviser to the US. What? You do not know JDM? Who are you to appoint him? Can you pay him like the US do?. I think the boys of your country will say, “You are dreaming in broad day light.”
To ramli on October 14, 2008 7:07 AM (Major Rambo) — wah! marah pahlawan kita ni.
To hazard72 on October 14, 2008 8:47 AM — “Pada 14/10/2008 terpampang didada akhbar tentang kenyataan yang dibuat oleh Ketua Wanita Gerakan Tan Lian Hoe mengatakan bahawa kaum melayu dinegara ini adalah kaum pendatang”
— sdr/sdri hazard72 … tak tau ke memang racist macam ni dikehendaki mengetuai kita, dia lain, tak kan kena gantung keahlian macam Mat Semail tu … sapa berani. GeLakan kuat sehingga dap tendang dia keluar dari P.Pinang.
To azlan on October 14, 2008 8:23 AM — mana boleh, sesetengah cina mesti ke sekolah cina sahaja, kalau ke sekolah kebangsaan, nanti hilang kecinaannya, lebih teruk kalau hilang keracistannya.
To Alpha Tango on October 14, 2008 8:03 AM — its ok to be a populist, like anwar … who cares about the rakyat as long as I succeed to be the PM? … incredible.
PAKLAH is BAPA SLOGAN lar NOT …..BAPAK DEMOKRASI
bekerja bersama saya bukan bekerja untuk saya…
cemerlang, gemilang , terbilang,

Thank you.
Selamat Hari Raya to Tun, family and fellow commentators:
A strong government is needed not just in a multiracial country. In fact any country. But beside having a strong government. A clean and efficient government is far more important.
Our so called strong government only leads to more abuse of power, supression of indifferences and eventually corruption and embazzlement of tax payers money. While we can claimed to have strong government for the past 50 years but there are way too many so called mega projects that turned into “white elephant”.
So many buildings that were built but finished under sub-standard quality like the Matrade building, JB General Hospital, MRR2 viaduct near Kepong, Most of the computer centers for the schools that were left uncompleted under the IT modernization. Strong government indeed to have implemented these projects but lousy strutures are the end results.
And then the procuremnt of supplies, set of tolls that cost ten of thousands while the usual retail price was only less than hundred.
All these incidences had been reported on major newspaper but what is the action taken? Spent more money to rectify the mistakes. The list could go on and who knows how many more that went unknown and million or billion of Ringgit was spent for the so called strong government policy.
Please, enough of the racial and religious matters already. All these are only played up by the politicians. We have lived long enough to respect and tolerate each other and all rights had been constituted. Stop raising the matters on racial and religious any more. The so called weak one is stepping down early. Is the people in power and the misused of the power that caused the government become weak.
We have better find ways to stir ourselves out of the economy crisis rather than arguing who and suggesting how to get a strong government.
hmm…. Tun Mahatir, totslly i can’t agree wity you. what you comment is percepted by me as conservative. i not agree of the strong gov lead to a prosperous. during your administrative, although you bring a properous era for malaysian, but of your Kuku besi, and abuse of ISA, recess Malaysian democratics. goverment should be restricted do not and prevent the expand of admiministrative power. different not lead to conflict. the BN policy in your time, manipulated it as issue to ensure won in every general election. in Hokkienise you re quite gigi besi, not admit any of your mistake. You ousting judge for kept you seat safety, weakening the powere of legislative, fostering the hatred between race. i don’t see the Allah would forgive what you done on malaysian. Now because of you we had lost a most openess and democratics PM in malaysian, and you bring us a corrupted, C-4 bomber puppet. i have 100 reason, to asking you keep quiet not comment on Malaysian politics, although you have right to comment as a Malaysian, but i also has a right to tell you, what you do only push malaysia back into a disaster that been created by you and your colleague. You always compare yourself to Lee Kaw Yew, but he success to bring Spore into a developed country, but you only bring hate to malaysian.
Tun,
As far as I have concerned, that it is indeed important to have a strong government who can deal with these issue. The government were powerful and strong during your administration but to my perception, it is meaningless running a country with censorship and I don’t believe in sacrificing what might be good to achieve something better. Troubles just resurface after your retirement as we can see. Obviously the source of problems were not dealt with, do you think most of the commentator here are patriotic?

Dear Chedet,
Just Testing!
BTW, Selamat Hari Raya MZB.
ASWB to Tun & hazard72 ,
Actually I ‘m not aware of Gerakan wanita Chief’s statement that ‘malays are pendatang’ until I read your comment just now. Out of curiousity, I double-checked with my favourite NST and found the news article page 14 with the headline ‘GERAKAN WANITA CHIEF SLAMMED OVER REMARKS’. Now bad things happened again & will continue to escalate.just mark my words. TWO WRONGS WON’T MAKE THINGS RIGHT.there’ll be be third wrong doer after this.
Just when we thought that Ahmad Ismail’s infamous statement to be put to rest, somebody has inflicted an open wound again and again.
of all the people, the youth leader from the GERAKAN is fanning people’s sentiment at the wrong time and place.The way that I perceive GERAKAN leaders lately seems to indicate that the party is at the thereshold of breaking away from the BN. Realising that the BN is no longer dominant and invincible as before, GERAKAN is trying to threaten the BN as the party is so critical to the BN survival.
From my ‘so-called narrow point view’, GERAKAN is already a spent forces within the ruling party particulaly in Penang where the entire
GEERAKAN leaders have been systematically annihilated by the PKR/DAP and the Penangites. If the GERAKAN were to leave BN today, i don’t think the BN is affected in fact GERAKAN will be the one who will be affected in the long-run.The remaining options available to GERAKAN;
stay in the BN, leave and join DAP/PKR and be an independant party.
Well, if this the way that the GERAKAN leaders are behaving, then by aall mean leave the BN outright and prove your independence and self-pride outside the BN circle.
I guess that the time is right for the MALAYS to establish our own MALAY RIGHTS ACTION FORCES to defend the rights of the bumiputras as enshrined in the Federal Constitution.
if you force somebody to a corner, a person will be COMPELLED to fight his way out. that is my verdict. I REST MY CASE.
Tun,
You are right.. We do need a strong government. But we need a government that is JUST and FAIR more! You have to admit that the racial problems we have today is created solely by UMNO in their quest to dominate and conquer this country. All the spin about who is a Pendatang, who should be the “sons of this soil”, who is entitle to this and that is to play that “divide and rule” game and very unfortunately, ALL RACES fell hard for it and today, we have everyone viewing everybody based on the color of their skin! That is simply SHAMEFUL! Shameful because all these are created by 1 party that I see is insecure and insincere in their motive and thinking.
Just look at some of the comments in here. Some of these “sons of this soil” is still going on and on and on about how the other races, Chinese, Indians and what have you are brought in by the British and therefore they are the Pendatang. FULL STOP!! There is no acknowledgement that these so called pendatangs have helped build this country to what it is today. It has never cross these “sons of this soil” that without these pendatangs, Malaysia may not have achieved what it has today. As a pendatang, I want to ask, does this “sons of this soil” dare say that they would have done just as well or even better without the Pendatangs? If so, why the need to have preferencial treatment or shall I say, “RESERVED CLASS” treatment for these “sons of this soil”? If so, why cant these “sons of this soil” compete on fair ground and win!? We are not even talking about competing globally ok…
So, yes, the role of the government is to govern the country as in to ensure that all responsibilities entrust in their hands are done properly and fruitfully.. meaning, to make sure the economy is up and running, strong and making molah for all to enjoy a comfortable life.. all its citizens are happy and merry. And to do just that, the government must not be bogged down with all these nitty gritty internal racial and clan problems that can snowball into a big giant avalanche that can kill.
So, to your topic, the government brought all these upon themselves with their “divide and rule” theory and together, coupled with a weak like twig leader, we all, pendatangs and all are paying the heavy price of UMNO’s foolish theory! Is it right or not??
So, if we are to have a strong government as in fair, just and strong, we definitely have to get rid of UMNO! They are the main culprit and they are the one that is weakening the whole coalition! Internally, fighting to see who can have a bigger piece of cake to stuff their own fat face. (Yah, it makes me puke to see these UMNO buggers decked out in their fine wear, some, shining like Christmas tree, some, a walking advertisement of the latest haute couture!) externally, playing all these “racial politics”.. leaving no time, energy and heart to govern the country properly! Yah.. same goes for MCA and MIC… Those are the “mini me” of UMNO. In other words, BN has to bugger off!
Assalamualaikum Tun.
1.Saya menyokong pendapat Tun tentang perlunya kerajaan yang kuat untuk memerintah negara ini.
2.Sejak akhir2 ini kelihatan isu2 perkauman semakin rancak dimainkan oleh parti2 pembangkang dan turut terikut2 oleh Parti Gerakan.Ini disebabkan mereka melihat kerajaan sekarang dalam keadaan lemah.
3.Kepada mereka ini semua sedarlah bahawa kesabaran orang MELAYU ada batasnya.Jangan mengundang PERISTIWA 13 MEI berulang kembali.
4.Kita jangan lupa Negara ini adalah asalnya NEGERI TANAH MELAYU.Orang melayu sudah banyak bertolak ansur kepada bangsa2 lain sehinggakan nama TANAH MELAYU pun boleh ditukar kepada MALAYSIA.
5.Kepada keturunan BANGSA ASING ini yang tak mahu bersyukur dengan mendapat nikmat tinggal di TANAH BERTUAH ini sila bungkus tikar bantal kamu dan berambus kamu ke negara nenek moyang kamu.
6.Kita doakan agar barisan pemimpin baru UMNO yang sedang menjalani pemilihan sekarang akan dapat membina Kerajaan Yang Kuat.
7.Calon Pilihan dengan slogan Berani Berubah.
.Presiden-Datok Seri Najid Tun Razak
.Timbalan Presiden- Tan Seri Muhyiddin Yassin

-Datok Seri Shafie Apdal
-Dato Seri Dr. Rais Yatim
.Ketua Wanita- Datok Seri Shahrizat A.Jalil

8.Kepada semua Perwakilan UMNO jangan beri muka kepada Kaki Bodek dan Kaki Ampu.Mereka semua adalah perosak UMNO.
Moga Ayahanda Tun dan Bonda Siti Hasmah sihat selalu hendaknya.
Salam YABhg Tun,
Saya sangat mempercayai bahawa pimpinan negara mengalami krisis kerana ‘agak berlembut’ dan tidak tegas dengan keputusan yang dibuat dari aspek politik, tambahan kelemahan didalam mengawal ekonomi memburukkan lagi keadaan.
Namun alternatif oleh pakatan rakyat, terutama DSAI amat-amat diharap memperbaiki semua ini.. Apakah Anwar telah berjaya?

Salam TUN,
Saya mencadangkan agar ditubuhkanlah âUMNO leadership Instituteâ untuk melatih pemimpin2 UMNO, tak kiralah ahli2 berjawatan dalam parti atau tidak. Semua skill2 leadership hendaklah didedahkan kepada ahli2 UMNO ini seperti debates skills,analytical thinking, diplomacy, etika wakil rakyat, âhow to blogâ ke, how to give impactful speech ke + etc etc. Tak pon jemput leadership specialist/speaker untuk mendidik pemimpin2 umno atau bakal2 pemimpin samalah seperti fungsi INTAN untuk melatih pegawai2 kerajaan. Perkenalkan jugalah induction leadership course untuk mengenal-pasti anak2 muda melayu yang berkelayakan dan mempunyai daya pimpinan. Ajar mereka sejarah perjuangan Umno, our mission and vision. Bukalah ruang untuk anak muda melayu mempunyai platform untuk menunjukkan bakat kepemimpinan mereka.Saya raya penubuhan institute latihan Umno juga dapat mengenal pasti bakat2 baru untuk di ketengahkan supaya taklah kita mempunyai krisis kepimpinan seperti sekarang.
Wakil2 rakyat BN (hanya yang berjawatan) perlula juga dilarang sama sekali untuk terlibat dalam aktiviti bisnes2.Mereka sepatutnya lebih focus pada masalah rakyat, bukannya sibuk mengkayakan diri sendiri dan untuk elakkan any âconflict of interestâ.Pada ahli yang tidak berjawatan biarlah derang nak berniaga apa-pun asalkan ikut etika parti.Saya pernah dengar somebody says dulu âkalau nak kaya masuklah bizness, kalau nak membantu orang susah, barulah masuk politikâ.
Wakil2 rakyat BN patut menubuhkan satu platform untuk direct terus mendengar rintihan rakyat. Contohnya,ruangan sms untuh rakyat, segala permasalahan dapat di-report direct kepada YB masing2 untuk di ambil tindakan….So, BN perlulah sediakan direct channel kepada rakyat,wajibkanlah setiap wakil rakyat ada blog ke, ada talian hotline BN ke, supaya rakyat rasa pemimpin mereka sentiasa bersama time susah & senang bukan time pilihan raya je.
Saya rasa if possible in budget wujudkanlah âpetty cashâ untuk wakil2 rakyat kita nie, supaya tadelah wakil2 rakyat nie complaint, macamanalah nak tolong rakyat, kami pon taderk duet, so petty cash nie akan tolong channelkan direct âfundâ untuk menolong rakyat dengan secepat mungkin,seperti nak baiki jalan ke, nak derma surau ke, nak bantuan buku2 anak2 ke, && etc etc. So wakil rakyat kita nie tadela alasan lagi nak terlibat dengan rasuah, konon nya derang main rasuah sebab nak tolong rakyat jugak.Kalau concept âpetty cashâ nie possible, saya rasa rakyat pon takkan complaint lagi âtime pilihan raya jer, semua permintaan kita dilayan, kalau tak jangan harapââ¦.
Last but not least, saya rasa all Malaysian patut baca buku by John C Maxwell “17 irrefutable law of teamwork”…. so that we can teach ourselves on working as a team (umno+mca+mic) to achive all the great things… repect + tolerance + togetherness = ONE malaysia
Setakat tue jer saya dapat menyumbang buah fikiranâ¦.
TERIMA KASIH TUN

5. We now have a weak Government and clearly it is incapable of dealing with the tendency towards conflicts because of race and religion. Because of its weakness it commands little respect and even the weakest parties would thumb its collective noses at the Government. The Government apparently has no idea how to handle these problems. We see it apologising only to have it’s apologies rejected.
How do you expect the Government to deal with race and religious issues which they themselve started? Only solution is exactly what you suggested …. A STRONG PAKATAN RAKYAT GOVERNMENT! I am are sick of BN playing race politics.
Salam Aidilfithri Ayahanda Tun yang dikasihi….memang betul sangat2 apa yang Ayahanda nyatakan disini… Pemimpin2 no. 1 n no.2 haruslah menerima pandangan Ayahanda Tun yang sentiasa BERNAS,SEGAR,MELANGKAUI MASA,BERWAWASAN..DAN MCM2 LAGI… Ayahanda TUN DR. MAHATHIR MENGAMBIL TINDAKAN PANTAS …SEORANG DOKTOR…MENJAGA NEGARANYA YANG MAJMUK DENGAN TEGAS..DAN PATUT DIBEDAH DILAKUKAN DENGAN SEGERA… KAMI BERSAMA AYAHANDA TUN MENERUSKAN PERJUANGAN YANG BELUM SELESAI N MENGATASI MASALAH MELAYU MUDAH LUPA! HINGGA KETITISAN DARAH TERAKHIR…HIDUP MELAYU N UNTUK ISLAM SEJAGAT!…..Aamin….Terima Kasih AYAHANDA TUN YANG KAMI KAGUMI,HORMATI DAN SAYANGI……
Salam Tun and Readers,
1. SETUJU! Dalam apa-apa organisasi pun mestilah top management yang WAJIB KUAT! Kalau top management tak kuat tu yg operator kilang tak berdisplin.
2. Strong goverment is the driver… and rakyat is the passangers…
So, don’t drink and drive!! (sambil menyelam minum air a.k.a penuhkan poket sendiri dulu…bahaya kang masuk gaung)
Just DRIVE!! (LEAD THE WAY!)
3. Siapalah kami utk menghakimi TUN, konsep saya senang… ikut saja benda yang baik… jangan banyak soal…
Malah Allah swt paling sayang umat Nabi Muhammad SAW kerana tidak pernah nak banyak soal / dolak dalik apabila menerima suruhan dari-NYA. Sebaliknya pula berlaku pada kaum Yahudi maka di benci tuhan dan dilaknati.
4. Bersyukur lahir sebagai rakyat MALAYSIA dibawah pimpinan era TUN.
5. Saya berdoa anak cucu kami juga akan di berikan pemimpin yang hebat seperti TUN.
TQ
Assalamualaikum Ayahanda Tun sekeluarga,
Saya orang Kuala Pilah.(kampong besan Tun).Saya nak tanya satu soalan saja.Dato Seri kita ni,boleh ke jadi PM yang berkesan?
Baik satu hal, I’m tired of PM yang’baik’ whilst letting everyone walk all over him.
PM mestilah berkesan macam Tun.
Saya rasa bimbang sebab DSNTAR tak pernah hidup macam orang biasa.
Dia orang aristocrat.Dia akan rely pada lapuran demi lapuran dari sebilangan pembantu .Saya dah pernah kena tipu dengan salah seorang pembantu dia.Pembantu kadangkala buat ‘slack’ pada ‘Tuan’.Kalau nak jumpa ‘Tuan’, jangan haraplah sentiasa kena censored.
Almaklumlah, orang Kopilah macam kami ni.Orang kampong saja.
Kalau PM tak berapa “hands on”..pisang berbuah dua kali tak agaknya.?
Dear Tun,
To have a strong government other BN component parties must have given equal rights to make decision on all policies making and “subervience attitude” to UMNO has to be stopped.
Again we must have a strong opposition parties to check and balance the government administration. Issues such as ISA and racialism which have created continuos tension and choas in the past should be revised or abolished in accordance with the majority of rakyat demand.
NEP and other policies also have to introduce and carry out to all Malaysian equally and fairy without biased.
I hope the PM in-waiting will prepare himself to be a strong and efficient PM.
Have a nice day!
Dear Tun,
I agree with you that we need a strong leader and therefore a strong government. But I must also add that the leader must also be brave and fair to all.
Let me give an example; The person who uttered the seditious words was given a slap on the hand. The person who reported what he uttered was detained for 18 hours! What is worst, the DPM was there and all he did was to apologise later on his behalf. A strong and fair leader would have asked him to be charged. Now it is very likely that the present DPM would be the next PM, how can we expect him to be impartial and have the confidence of the people?
Sadly for our beloved country, we do not have anybody with that kind of leadership traits.
1. Strong Government
2. Competence leader
3. Lead strong economy and social growth
4. Achieve 2020 as scheduled
5. Got it…Tun!
6. Who else didn’t get it!
Assalamualaikum Tun,
Our multiracial, multireligious, multicultural country need a strong government. But a strong government alone is not enough.
We also need a strong leader. See what happened in 2004. The government is very strong but we have a weak leader and thus we lost 2/3 majority in PR12 2008.
Thanks to PakLah. At last he realised the wishes of the people and decided to step down and hand over to DS Najib. But we feel that handing over the rein of power in March 2009 is rather late. I think it should be in December 2008 as originally planned. Never did I remember an UMNO General Assembly held the following year. This is history but not a good one. It should be held in the same year.
Assalamualaikum Tun.
Pertama sekali saya menyokong pendapat Tun tentang perlunya kerajaan yang kuat untuk memerintah negara ini.
Apa yang berlaku sekarang adalah disebabkan kelemahan kerajaan dibawah pimpinan seorang pemimpin yang lemah. Memang agak keterlaluan bunyinya. Tapi itu kenyataan yang harus ditelan oleh seluruh rakyat Malaysia.
Pada 14/10/2008 terpampang didada akhbar tentang kenyataan yang dibuat oleh Ketua Wanita Gerakan Tan Lian Hoe mengatakan bahawa kaum melayu dinegara ini adalah kaum pendatang. Ini jelas menunjukkan parti Gerakan juga adalah sebuah parti racist. Cuma saya nak tanya dengan Tan ni dari fakta mana yang diambil oleh beliau sebagai rujukan?? Kita semua tahu sejarah sudah jelas menunjukkan sebelum Melaka dijajah oleh Portugis tanah melayu diperintah dan ditadbir oleh kesultanan melayu ini bermakna kaum Melayu telah menetap dinegara ini beribu tahun dahulu.
Beliau harus sedar bahawa kaum cina dan india datang kenegara ini setelah British menjajah bagi sektor perlombongan dan perladangan. Beliau harus terima hakikat ini dengan hati terbuka.
Apa yang saya hendak tekankan disini, disebabkan pemimpin yang lemah tiada sebarang tindakan dan teguran keatas beliau tidak sebagaimana yang dilakukan terhadap Ketua Pemuda UMNO Gelugor.
Sekian, Wasalam.
My 2-cent opinion:
Strong leader is more important than strong government. Good government is more important than strong government. Good leader is more important than strong leader.
Salam…
Tun, I hope it’s still not too late for me to wish you Salam Aidilfitri. I attended your Hari Raya open house recently and did not had the chance to exchanged Hari Raya greetings both with you and Dr. Siti.
I believed it is about time that UMNO members should rejuvenate and reexamined their struggle and remember why the party was form in the first place.
HESMEL FAZNEE FAISAL
Saya setuju dengan Tun Malaysia perlu kerajaan yang kuat kerana negara kita didiami dengan pelbagai kaum yang begitu sensitif.Semua perlu dikawal supaya kita boleh hidup dengan aman sentosa.Kebebasan pun ada parasnya dan semua kaum perlu terima kita tinggal di tempat yang sama dan kita juga akan tentukan keamanan negara kita sendiri.Perlu diadakan satu sekolah untuk semua kaum supaya mereka bersatu,hapuskan sekolah rendah atau menengah jenis kebangsaan dan sekolah agama , Pada pendapat saya semua perlu disatukan dalam satu sekolah. Pelajaran dalan semua sekolah-sekolah agama dan jenis kebangsaan perlu dimasukan dalam satu sekolah supaya mereka belajar bukan sahaja dari segi akademik tetapi juga hidup bersama sejak dari kecil iaitu pelajaran yang paling penting di sebuah negara malaysia belajar hidup bersama.
Salam Buat TUN
Kerajaan yang ada sekarang adalah lalang tiada penderian naikan harga minyak dengan mendadak tidak fikir masa depan rakyak sekarang bila minyak dunia turun mendadak harga barang kekaql pada paras yang tertinggi yang nak turun hanya Pak Lah. Sepatutnya semua Memteri Kabinet yang Turun terutama Sharil menteri yang tak ada otak dan perasaan, ramai rakyak yang menderita kerana SHARIL.Kerajaan yang kukuh adalah yang tahu bahawa rakyak adalah tungak dan penyaokong mereka sabagai Menteri.
Tun, I very much agree and have been a proponent that a strong goverment, backed by a strong Barisan Nasional coalition led by UMNO, is essential and imperative in leading Malaysia, more so in the present quagmire.
To all, bear in mind :
A POPULAR MANAGER MAY NOT BE A GOOD MANAGER,
AND A GOOD MANAGER NEED NOT BE POPULAR.
Best Wishes and SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDIL FITRI to our beloved Tun, Toh Puan and Family
FRom ALPHA TANGO and Family.
TUN yang dikasehi.
Teramat jelas akan apa yang TUN peringatkan kepada seluruh rakyat dan pemimpin2 bertapa perlunya sebuah kerajaan itu KUAT.Bukan hanya sekadar berkuasa untuk memerintah negara.
Dan buat ingatan kepada DSN.jika beliau akan menaraju negara kelak(InshaAllah) supaya melihat segala kegagalan yang dilakukan oleh Bapak demoKrasi dan bersedia membuat perubahan.
Dan ingat lah rakyat sekarang telah maju. Tidak bolih ditipu2 lagi.
Fikirkan yang terbaik untuk rakyat dan negara. Jangan lah fikirkan yang terbaik untuk keluaga dan kroni sahaja. Mereka tidak akan dapat membantu bila kemarahan rakyat memuncak.
Apa yang telah berlaku semasa regim Pak Lah telah menimbulkan banyak kerosakkan kehidupan rakyat.
Akibat nya gelombang suara rakyat telah melenyapkan kuasa nya sekelip mata.
Selamat Bersara Pak Lah.

Awak cemburu ke saya dapat bergambar dengan TUN dan TUN CT Hasmah di rumah terbuka TUN tempoh hari.
Salam Ayahanda Tun. This is my view: Khalil Yaakub is not/never was/never will be a fit human being to helm the post of YDP Negeri Melaka (or any Negeri). Some die hard folks still keep memorabilia on this guy. Memorabilia with incriminating substantiation to remind him back of his indeed vibrant past. See, the problem with Abdullah Badawi is that he smiles and looks for a point to laugh at things just way too much. Everything is laughable for him. He makes friends with just about anyone who could make him laugh. And thatâs where all the low lifers and enterprising opportunists make their entrance into his life. And finally when all that he has around him are just fiercely self centering opportunist and bona-fide idiots, he slowly sinks along with them as part of daily circles and routine. Najib must flush out all this the very moment he takes over. Najib must not be seen hauling this rubbish cart at any point in his political life. Najib must move about with the efficiency of a hawk thatâs able to spot a running rat from thousands of feet in the air. Observe how the hawk would find a thermal/up-drift spot in the air; spread wings with incredible precession to feather the cushion of air and just sits there for minutes observing the ground below. One sharp visual observation & instinctive confirmation, and the hawk dives at incredible alacrity for the goner rat. Nature can teach us a lot about living if we just make the time to look and listen. This Najib must do, tune into the nature and reality of todays: âThe Badawi Aftermath â The Day Afterâ.
…now that race relations is at its worst level, dragging the Composite Index and our economy with it as it sinks further an deeper…now that Tun is demanding a strong government to run the country ! Pak is history but insists on helming the Cabinet of monk…! Do you believe (putting aside his yes-sir and ever-play- safe style, now that he is the alpha female of the packs) Najib can provide us the much needed shot in the arm to move on with our lives, revitalise the economy and dictate the race relations to a level that we once enjoyed ! Nobody in the current cabinet of monk…fits the ‘cut’ of premiership ! Would you Tun, care to make a come-back or…perhaps I should don my uniform which i have hung up more than a decade ago and join those Askar Melayu Di Raja (true pejuang tanah air dan bangsa) though some politicians happily claim they are pejuang bangsa ha ha ha ! (what a joke)to manage the situation and restore the trust of the rakyat and stability of our beloved nation !

1. In a previous article I said that a multiracial country needs a strong Government- BN IS NOT THE RELEVANT ANSWER FOR THE TIME BEING
5. We now have a weak Government and clearly it is incapable of dealing with the tendency towards conflicts because of race and religion. Because of its weakness it commands little respect and even the weakest parties would thumb its collective noses at the Government. The Government apparently has no idea how to handle these problems. We see it apologising only to have it’s apologies rejected.-TRULY CORRECT
18. Generally the economy is bad, as bad as the race politics that we are seeing. The people are the ones to pay the price. They are suffering from high prices with no compensating increase in income.- MAJORITY OF MALAYSIAN PEOPLES ARE SUFFERING
21. Now with this weak Government, with incompetent leadership the country is not developing as fast as it used to.- IS THIS POINTING TO PAK LAH??YES IT IS
23. My observation of Malaysian politics over the last 50 years has convinced that a powerful Government lead by competent leaders is necessary for multi-racial Malaysia.- I DONT THINK NAJIB IS COMPETENT ENOUGH. FROM MY POINT OF VIEW,ANWAR IS THE BEST ANSWER.NO OFFENSE!

Government should always understand citizen demand and help citizen.I am believe our current government is week and will be remain same even deputy minister najib take over as next prime ministry.I am not see any good leader that available at BN nowsday that qualify for take Prime Minister Post.
Dear Tun,
I dont think in this new age of running our beloved Malaysia, Badawi, Najib or anybody i am aware of makes the cut!
The only person who i think is up to the task is a man called Fauzi who was and maybe still is in the ministry of education. he was a realy progresive all round passionate educator who was teaching in Sek.Men. Sri Ampangan Seremban during the 80’s. He passionatly took it upon himself to educate the students beyond his designated resposibilities! He is the kind of leader we need! Not MR.Mongol
Do our country a favour and please check him out!
Congratulations Tun,
Following Bloomberg Live commentaries television broadcast this morning US 13October 2008 awhile ago and watching highly distinguished interviews regarding the “Financial crisis and vredit crunch “in the US . I just gasped for my breadth when your much infamous comment in the aftermath of the Asian financial crisis and amongst your other now world famous logical views concerning the Asian economic crises at that time ( and now its befallen worsely in the US and Europe ) , you mentioned I remembered and I quote ” The world Rating Agencies need to be rated ” unquote Dr Mahatir Mohammad…
This profound statement of yours was mentioned live in Bloomberg awhile ago in exact verbatime by the Nobel Peace laureate 2006 in Economics Dr Edmund Phelps of Columbia University. He mentioned the Rating Agencies are so ” weak “in their so called ratings of the various financial securities …which are part of the consternation that caused the present credit and financial debacle….
Is he your student,friend, associate, etc., Dr …? I salute you Dr Mahatir…
If any readers reading this b;og , go hurry watch Bloomberg tv over your cable now either the morning or afternoon broadcasts of 14October 2005 which I beleive it will be repeated again and again, they usually do… Watch for Dr Phelps live interview slot…
To your profound wisdom Dr Mahatir, which I always cherish and treasure so much , most affectionately.
Dear Tun,
According to your believe, correct me if i am wrong!,the main advantage of having a strong government is to maintain racial or in other words religous harmony.
Between the lines do u mean that it is necessary that the dominant religous sect should be pleased at any cost to maintain peace?
U have taken our neighbours during economic crisis as examples. I dont understand why a man of your intelligence is sighting developing nations as examples! Why not take some developed nations as examples!
For the sake of arguement lets take your example of developing nations and financial crisis(obviously Singapore doesn’t fall under this category ). Why are u pretending to be stupid? I’m sure that u understand perfectly well that the main reason that religous or racial wars are not merely started because people are not satisfied with the distribution of wealth but rather because they are hungry, not enough to feed their children! People can be easily influcenced when they are hungry!( even genocide can be orchestrated )but only when they are hungry!
There are many multiracial nations that are living harmoniously without the obvious dominance of in our case religion.
U read ‘popular science’and i’m sure many other progresive materials, I’m sure that u understand that even inscience many theories have later been proven to be wrong!
Seems to me that u are stubbornly sticking to outdated theories! Even at your age i still expect u to be able to evolve your seemingly deep rooted mindset.If not u will be like the man who still believes that the world is square and not only that trying to force that believe on others!
I’m sory if u are offended with my current oppinion of u. Compared to any other Malaysian leader I still think that u are and have been the most intelligent.
yours respectfully,
Louis
can you tell me how to be a strong government? Just don’t tell me but tell the people of malaysia how to create a strong government. First thing first the immunity idol…who ever is holding it have to give it up….then everyone is fair share and there is no immunity idol to rescue them…when there is no immunity idol people will do what it take to protect themselves so its the same of achieving strong government…everyone has to work to achieve a strong nation…why we even give the leaders a chance to do what they do? The leaders is incompetent and yet they are still the leader…if the leader can’t lead or incompetent we need a replacement….
Talk about incompetent…do the leaders even want to admit that they are incompetent of course not…not only strong government we need we also need a strong nation ….how to achieve that?
can we have some democratic please,even in a blog our voice also cannot speak out,and let the blogger check first,it seem like the ISA also, all the opinion are agree with you, it just like the rule of TUN “Deceiving oneself and others” didnt bother the Opposing opinion …
Tun Sir,
What you wrote is so trite. The sad part is that even something trite as this need to be reminded today. This indicates that the state of affairs in this country is such that we are moving backwards instead of forging ahead due to an unprecedented level of mediocrity in governing the country. This does not mean of course that I do not condone the seeming “liberalism” that seems to exist. What disturbs me is the seeming inability to monitor and control the “liberalism” so that the larger interest of general well being of the Rakyat is not sacrificed.
Though I had (and still do)personal admiration for you Sir, for many years, that does not mean that I supported your every move. However, though I did not agree with you, I was able to understand the reasons why you did what you thought you had to under certain circumstances. At least I did not feel that you were insulting my intelligence by doing something without any rational basis. As a citizen, I find most insulting when leaders do things without reason, irregardless of whether I agree or not. Like you once said, I can advise you but you are free to reject it. Otherwise, it is a direction and not an advise. This is the kind of leadership that te citizens miss …firmness, thinking things out and taking things by the bull with counter arguments and actions.
Not too late to wish you and “your better half Tun” a Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri”. God bless you both always.
Dear TUN
I’ve been away quite a while from this blog but i just want to use this
opportunity to wish you, your wife & family a Happy Hari Raya Aidil Fitri:)
so,in Tun opinion who should be the strong goverment ,well let see, a dictator or Racist maybe…
Yang dihormati dan dikasihi TUN,
Saya bersetuju dengan TUN tapi kita juga perlukan PM yang adil, tegas, bijak, rajin belajar dan kerja, dengar pendapat rakyat, tidak korup dan sebagainya.
ADAKAH DATO SERI NAJIB SEBAGAI PM PUNYAI SIFAT-SIFAT TERSEBUT UNTUK MEMIMPIN RAKYAT DAN MEMAJUKAN MALAYSIA?
LOMPAT PARTI TIDAK MENGHAIRANKAN. BN YANG DI KETUAI UMNO MERUPAKAN PENGASASNYA.LIHAT SAJA BAGAIMANA PBS DI SABAH DAHULU YANG DI PILIH RAKYAT BOLEH MELOMPAT. SUDAH TENTU ADA KELAKUAN DI BELAKANG TABIR.
AKHBAR PULA SALING MENGGUNAKAN PERKATAAN “MERAMPAS KUASA” BUKAN “MENGAMBIL ALIH KUASA” TENTANG PERCUBAAN PEMBANGKANG MEMANCING AHLI YANG MELOMPAT NAMUN IYANYA TIDAK PULA BEGITU PADA MASA LALU. DI SINI NAMPAK SEKALI KERAJAAN YANG KUAT SANGAT PENTING WALAU ADAKALA TINDAKANNYA HANYA MENGUNDANG KEMELUATAN KEPADA SEBILANGAN ORANG (WALAU YANG LAIN BARANGKALI SUKA).

Salam Tun & fellow bloggers,
Tan Lian Hoe dari Gerakan mengatakan orang Melayu adalah pendatang sama macam orang India dan Cina.Penduduk asal adalah orang asli,katanya.
Soalan saya pada Tan ialah:
1.Siapakah penduduk asal Tanah Melayu sebelum orang asli?
2.Katakan orang asli yg berhak atas tanahair ini,sanggupkah orang Cina pulang ke negara China bila kaum India balik India dan orang Melayu balik ke…ummm mana ye?
3.Apakah agama rasmi?Apakah bahasa rasmi?
4.Kalau orang Melayu setuju & mengaku mereka juga pendatang,adakah mereka kena serahkan semua hak & keutamaan yang dijamin Perlembagaan kepada orang Cina dan India dan balik kampung atau merempat ditepi jalan?
5.Memandangkan sama taraf,sanggupkah kaum Cina membuka penguasaan mereka dari segi perniagaan dan ekonomi kepada kaum Melayu dan India?
6.Negara manakah akan dijadikan model utk memerintah; China?(komunis),Singapura?(kiasu),India?(kasta)
7.Sanggupkah kamu (TAN LIAN HOE) makan nasi kawah selama 2 tahun kat Kemunting? (bolehlah diet,kamu mesti tak lalu makan punya!Kenapa tak percaya?Tanya lah Teresa Kok..)
p/s-..jgn dipagar inyor yg condong,buahnya jatuh di laman orang (Sheqal)

We need a strong Government is to protect the people’s wellfare, not to bully people with corruption, to implement discrimination policy etc.
Tun, a strong Government comes from people and for people.
strong Government is not to show power to exploit the country’s resources for a small qty of cronies to get benefits.
ASSALAMUALAIKUM AYAHANDA TUN…

I am suprise that the number (1) reason is to deal with issues between race and not something important like a clean government, bribery in all level of government, PDRM, cabinet, judicial, education and lots more. Race relationship must and should be implemented at all level and race and religion should be condemn by leaderships right there and than not bias to only the opposition or those who are not with BN (I didn’t mention governemt because government is not BN).
If UMNO is not tolerent to race and religion we will not have this issue. When Dr. M was in power I would consider that a strong government but why do we still have this problem today.
Please do not distort the scenario to match UMNO’s need.
Not only we need a strong goverment but we desparately need a strong opposition for check and balance.
Like 2004, the goverment is so strong until it win 90% of parliment seats but at the end , we got nothing .., those people did not used it to implement better things instead spending times waving the keris and others racial remarks ..
I prefer the 2008, whereby strong opposition .. now you can see in parliment at least someone is looking and challenge everything that goverment do …
So conclusion , yes we need a strong goverment but must be rule by a strong leader PM and I hope the royal will put more efforts as well.
SALAM AYAHANDA RAKYAT TUN,
IZINKAN,
21. Now with this weak Government, with incompetent leadership the country is not developing as fast as it used to.
THE COUNTRY WILL STILL NOT BE DEVELOPED AS ASPIRED BY THE VISION 2020 TO MAKE MALAYSIA A DEVELOPED COUNTRY BY 2020..COZ
WE ONLY GOT RID ONLY ONE HALF OF THE WEAK LEADERSHIP BUT STILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE OTHER HALF OF THE WEAK LEADERSHIP ESPECIALLY SO WITH THE ADVERSED PUBLICITIES ON HIS PERSONAL LIFE.
HOWEVER, WE PRAY FOR THE BETTER AND WE STILL HOPE THAT THE UMNO DIVISIONS WILL STILL NOMINATE ANOTHER CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY.
STOP GIVING THE EXCUSE THAT UMNO WILL SPLIT AND BECOMES WEAK. HOW MUCH WEAKER CAN UMNO BE WITH THE CURRENT WEAK LEADERSHIP?
PERHAPS, ITS NOT TOO LATE TO NOMINATE KU LI ALTHOUGH OUR HEART SAY THE MOST SUITABLE LEADER FOR THE PRESIDENCY UNDER THE CURRENT POLITICAL CLIMATE WUD BE DATUK SERI UTAMA RAIS YATIM Phd.
WE HAVE THIS TO TELL NAJIB..IF ITS FATED, PLEASE BE A FIRM AND DECISIVE LEADER, HOME AND AWAY FROM HOME AND YOU WILL SUCCEED. OBVIOUSLY WITH THE HONEST SUPPORT OF YOUR NEW TEAM ( WE HOPE YOU WILL GET RID OF AAB’S RUBBER STAMPS) AND OF COURSE WITH THE GUIDANCES OF THE MAHAGURU AYAHANDA TUN, IF YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE IN HIS VISIONS AND WISDOM.
FEED THE ‘STARVED’ STOMACH OF THE RAKYAT AND NOT ‘STUFFED’ THAT OF THE ‘FAMILIES’ AND THE RAKYAT WILL HAPPILY RHYMED ‘BACK ON THE ROAD (TO BN) AGAIN’.
THE WELL BEING AND SECURITY OF THE RAKYAT DEPEND ON YOUR FIRM BUT JUST LEADERSHIP AND DO NOT ABANDON THE ISA, NEP, VISION 2020 AND ABOVE ALL ARTICLE 153 OF THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION. WITHOUT THEM, THERE WILL BE CHAOS(IF THE CURRENT FREEDOM OF SPEECHES PERSISTED) , WILL WIDENED THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICH AND THE POOR( THE ROOT CAUSE OF MAY 13TH RIOTS), WILL NOT ACHIEVED THE STATUS OF A DEVELOPED NATION AND WILL WIPED OUT THE RIGHTS OF THE MALAY/BUMIPUTERA IN THE âSACREDâ LAND OF THE MELAYU RESPECTIVELY.
IN THE ALMIGHTY ALLAH SWT, WE REST OUR HOPE.
ALFATIHAH, AMIN.
Tun
what you are saying subtly is you want a Government that would be modelled closely to the Government you ran
– can you explain why under your Government, you were ok to write of debts and poor decisions by GLCs? Isn’t that an indication of a weak Government?
Plus, you want a Government where there would be control over press and freedom of expression – if not, how do you propose any Government wield it’s control over people, where it allows for openness and expression of views where it goes against the Government’s?
Like to hear your thoughts on above – I hope your assitants will write a response soon to this question
(Ravi)
Ybhg Tun,
Selamat Hari Raya. Saya amat mengagumi Tun dan amat bertuah mempunyai seorang PM seperti Tun.
Saya tidaklah bersetuju dengan pendapat Tun bahawa pemimpin sekarang lemah. Dan kelemahan pemimpin dikatakan menjadi punca ketidakharmonian kaum.
Sebenarnya, pemimpin sekarang terlalu diganggu oleh pemimpin lama yang memang menganggap dirinya seorang ‘pemimpin tersohor’. Saya akui pemimpin lama adalah seorang yang tersohor tetapi kehandalan dan masa beliau telah tamat maka biarkanlah pemimpin kini menjalankan kerja tanpa diperlemahkan dengan pelbagai desakan.
Seperti seorang peninju terhandal yang masuk ke gelanggang ketika peninju amatur sedang berlawan maka semestinya peninju handalan dapat menunjukkan kehandalannya. Tetapi beliau lupa masa beliau telah tamat untuk turun gelanggang. Jika ingin membantu pergilah ke belakang gelanggang untuk memberikan nasihat dan tunjuk ajar.
Masalahnya sekarang ialah semua parti komponen baru mendapat isyarat dari rakyat bahawa rakyat ada pilihan lain. Jadi, untuk menjadi juara maka setiap pemimpin komponen harus menjadi agak vokal dalam menyuarakan pendapat. Maka, apabila BN sebagai sebuah kapal mula goyah dan mungkin tenggelam, maka pemimpin pemimpin ini mula bertempiaran lari meninggalkan kapal dengan nakhodanya. Ini bukan semangat yang patut ada, sepatutnya, pemimpin ini sama sama membina semula kapal bersama. Lebih malang, kita yang berada di luar jugak sibuk membantu menenggelamkan kapal ini.
Kita lupa kapal ini jugak lah yang kita gunakan untuk sampai ke merata dunia sehingga ke Antartika. Jadi, soal nakhoda lemah atau kuat, kita jugak harus bertanya orang yang melantik nakhoda tersebut, jika lemah kenapa serah kapal pada nakhoda tersebut?
Masanya telah tiba kita kurang mencari kesalahan orang lain. Jika kita boleh menyuruh pemimpin yang telah keluar pentadbiran agar diam maka kita yang dah pun keluar seharusnya diam jugak.
Harap Tun terima yang di atas sebagai nasihat dari seorang yang amat hina berbanding Tun. Ada masa kita perlu bercakap tapi banyak
masa kita patut diam. Baru orang lain boleh buat kerja.
Terima kasih
Dear Tun,
Democratic has a lot of meanings and interpretation. Whatâs good in other country does not mean it will be good to our country. Some said socialism is bad but maybe it is good for some countries. The fall of communism in Russia mark also the break of USSR. This is all because of democracy ideology spread out all over the communist country. Then come a lot of demonstration and people starts to change. They also want to change for a better living and where are USSR nowâ¦all breaks out into independent country.
So call America became the only super power in the world. They can do anything and they do not hesitate to do it. You kill one American and the rest of the army will not only destroy you and your family but your country as well. They say democratic is for the people but actually they were not so democratic after all. The American uses their weapon to threaten others to follow what they want.
Two parties are good for them because they donât have much of a racial problem as we do. They maybe white and black but they pray to the same god. They were much Christian and some were muslim, jewish budistand others. The white is more than the black and the black been living in ghetto for such a multi years cant be such a threat to the white. Now only we see some success men and black women who walk in the house of power of the white house. How much the white make the black suffered unknown to the world. We didnât have the right to question them coz we are not American.
I think 3 countries in this world have ISA act. Beside us, the Singapore has it and Israel has it too. Why not they ask both countries abandoned the ISA first. Why accused Malaysia as a bad country just because we have the same act. We must have the ISA act coz we such a multiracial country and half of the citizens are not bumiputera. If we were given a freedom to speak what ever we like none of us will live in harmony.
WE want to dream of a better world that each of us will only think about one nation and one race and that is Bangsa Malaysia?
Before we do this lets us change our name first like the Indonesian does. Donât use ah chong or may Lan or suriamurti and kapal singh.
Why not we all create a name that will not symbolise our race. Can the Malays change their Islamic name that has bin and binti? Maybe sulam bin sulim will show multiracial name. âKapal singhâ becomes âKaman sinâ. Teresa Kuok becomes âTarimah Karyaâ. If you ready to do this then only Malaysian united will exist. If Not PLS DONâT DREAM OF IT. Let us just living in our country and living with our own religious and with our generation names but just respect each other ways and nature. Do not engage any race dispute. If the leader of Malays talk about Malays must united donât turn it into something that like a threat to other races coz the leaders just remind his own race that they must be good as well as other races in this country.
A leader must also have authoritarian mind to lead this country. Democratic and open discussion just kill the idea coz many heads got many agenda but one head got only one agenda of his rule coz later bad or good it will be back to this leader responsibility. So just leave it as it were before because what Gerakan trying to do I believe they themselves donât believe it can be done.
P/s sorry about my English. I am not a good English writer but at least I try.
Selamat.
Tun, strong government may be the answer if we have good leaders. But in history there never been a continuous succession of good leaders for any strong government. Strong government is not equal to having good leaders. I think North Korea and Myanmar are some of those strong governments, but their people are suffering from poverty and prosecution. A strong government with bad leaders will eat away all its resources and its people for self sustenance. Its like having leukemia, where the white blood cells consume the red blood cells that they suppose to protect.
In today’s Malaysia, it is not difficult for a person with money and inherited power to be elected leader, thought may be a tyrant. And when such leader rules, the country is like suffering from leukemia. And when this happened, many will suffer. The only possible solution will be to burn the whole body will radiotherapy, and many will perish.
Tun, if strong government is the answer to stability, might as well we just become a communist country like China, North Korea or Cuba. A government so strong like them, there certainly plenty of stability. However, little freedom, little self esteem for the commoners.
We all know in trades, monopoly is bad. Monopoly dictates what price to sell and who gets it. And monopoly only serves to enrich itself. A strong government, is like a monopoly. When a government has all the power all the time, why should they feel they should give more to the people when they can have it all by themselves and no one can resist them?
Tun, 50 years ago is not the same as today. A strong government worked at that time because the people from various ethnics group were ignorant of one another. They were most often misinformed by their leaders with the purpose of gaining support. We now know that most racial unrests were sparked by politicians and generally politicians from the ruling side. And this is used as a way to gain support, power and to stage a coup. The ignorant commoners were used to achieve these objectives.
Tun, we don’t need a strong government, instead we need to have two balanced political parties with identical composition of ethnicity and mix of religion background, constantly competing to improve the service delivery to the people and governing of the country. Together with a good check and balance system, the country will be one of the best place to live in South East Asia.
Tun is a wise man and always think what’s good for his people. There is no one right way to do things and the right way to do things then may not work now.
Salam
The strong become strong by trampling on the weak.
The strong are known to perform unspeakable atrocities to be strong.
The Khmer Rouge exterminated the middle class, Mao Tze Tong incited murderous violence, the Nazi exterminated the Jews, the Turkish exterminated the Armenians, Suharto exterminated the communist, Saddam exterminated the Kurd, the list of the atrocities are endless and when I mean exterminate, I mean hundreds of thousands if not millions murdered.
The strong are never accountable nor fair or just.
50 years of a strong UMNO government have resulted in a nation ill prepared for the future. The nurturing of a Malay supremacist mentality is hardly a recipe for stability, such a path leads only to polarization and violence.
What you propose, dear Tun is a frightening future. The end does not justify the means. As much as you have condemned the US for being a bully, you sir are a hypocrite to support such tyranny.
Dear Tun,
I don’t mean to “Kipas” but I must tell you this…..I attended international conference on islamic finance: product innovation a fast track for global acceptance …today at JW Marriot
I was extermely proud of you and Malaysia when one of the speakers i.e.presiden LARIBA BANK USA praised Tun Mahathir on how you and your team overcome Malaysia economic crisis in 1997/1998…he said Malaysia i.e. Tun& the team had used a street wise and practical approach to address the problem..he said he was ashamed of USA..They always and used to lecture other countries on good governance, economy and monetary policy.. but now Malaysia’s sucess story is taken as a case study by their economic experts in searching for solution to remedy USA current economic problem …
Y.A.Bhg Tun…
I read thru your topics and comments daily from people of all walks of life in here with their personal expectations which I must admitted that they are on the rise…
I guess you can say most of these up and coming politicians are ready made in this blog by just reading it…you do have way with words…where all Malaysians adores and appreciates you…each topic will interest its reader to leave a comment…and I am just one of them.
Each and everyone in here has their own opinion about you…some good & some are not….but being YOU, as a true leader…you do not discount everyone’s opinion be it Malays & non-Malays…not saying it to please you but the fact remains that, it will be another million years until we see another true leader like you here in Malaysia…please continue contributing…
TOPIC OF THE DAY:
DO WE NEED A STRONG GOVERNMENT?…DEFINATELY YES!…will it be materialise or will it be another nightmare for all Malaysians is just another story…
The messages you have send says it all…The current “Badawi Coalition Government” doesn’t have to stood that low to please and make ways to its component parties by being apologetic…its absurb…there’s no deniable it is only potraying DSAAB weekness, bad decision making…and the word “NO” is not in his vocabulary…the worst of them all is lying to all Malaysians with regards to the country economy situation….doesn’t he knows that we all can count too!!!….
You have set this country to a much faster pace 20 years ago, when others were at their teething & planning stage…now that we have to keep at a slow pace since our beloved PM is currently being left behind and and sadly in his dreamland…and;
DSAAB kept telling Malaysians not to worry with regards to (opposition intentions) date of taking over the Government…but what has he done to make it a stronger Government?….NONE!!!not that I am worried…but disgusted with DSAI political polymic….
The question is…”WILL DSAAB EVER LET DS NAJIB LEAD THE COUNTRY FOR THE NEXT 6 MONTHS BEFORE HE STEPS DOWN?” (transition of power) he may well make all the dumb choices & moves and leave the problem to the next administration to solve…may just happen….many ways to skin a cat…
Phew!!!
I am one disgusted Malaysian….but will not opt for opposition (over my dead body)
Stay healthy Tun…love you both
Salam Tun,
Apakah Tun fikir Dato Seri Najib adalah calon yg sesuai for our next PM?
Pada saya beliau dilihat terlalu menurut, tidak berani membuat keputusan dan mungkin juga agak lemah… contoh – statement minta maaf beliau ttg isu perkauman, lambat menepis dakwaan2 keatas beliau mengenai kes wanita Mongolia.
Saya lihat Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin lebih sesuai utk menyandang jawatan tersebut kerana beliau mempunyai karisma sebagai seorang PM. Beliau jujur, berani, mesra rakyat dan yg penting track record beliau amat cemerlang dibawah kementerian2 yg beliau terajui sebelum ini. Sementara dato Seri Najib lebih kepada menurut segala kehendak Pak Lah, sepatutnya sebagai Timbalan beliau perlu menasihatkan Ketuanya agar tidak mengambil tindakan yg sia2 (spt memberi ex gratia/ bayaran pampasan pd hakim2 yg terlibat, cadangan pemberian RM1 juta kepada pemenang pingat emas Olimpik – kerana itu semua melibatkan duit rakyat pembayar2 cukai bukankah lebih elok kiranya disalurkan pd program pembangunan rakyat miskin atau sektor lain yg boleh menjana kepada pendapatan negara. Dlm ertikata lain beliau masih belum diuji dgn hal ehwal pengurusan negara yg lebih besar. Mungkin Dato Seri Syed Hamid Albar lebih berkaliber utk menyandang kerusi Timbalan President.
Saya percaya jika tidak kerana desakan Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin utk Pak Lah cepatkan proses peralihan, belum tentu beliau mendapat undi yg sebegini banyak dari bhgn UMNO yg lain. Dan sepatutnya TSMY harus bertanding utk jawatan President UMNO kerana beliau lebih layak menduduki KERUSI tersebut.
Tahniah buat Dato Mukhriz kerana berjaya dicalonkan sbg Ketua Pemuda. Beliau sememangnya LAYAK, cuma agak keliru mengapa masih ada yg buta hati utk calonkan KJ.
Tun yang dihormati lagi bijaksana.
Amat setuju sekali bahawa dalam negara yang berbilang kaum bukan saja diperlukan sebuah kerajaan yang kuat tetapi diperlukan juga seorang pemimpin kerajaan yang hebat.
Pada masa yang paling kritikal ini sama ada dari aspek politik ataupun aspek ekonomi, hanya ada tiga lagi tokoh Melayu (selepas Tun sendiri)yang agak layak dan berpeluang untuk memimpin negara Malaysia. Mereka ialah Datuk Seri Najib, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dan Tan Sri Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.
Sayangnya, ketiga-tiga mereka dipersepsikan oleh rakyat mempunyai kelemahan masing-masing. Walaupun belum terbukti, rakyat menganggap Najib mempunyai masalah akibat kes pembunuhan gadis Mongolia. Anwar pula walaupun belum diputus oleh mahkamah mempunyai masalah dengan kes liwat. Dan Tengku Razaleigh walaupun masih sihat dan segar dianggap sudah lanjut umur.
Tun, saya merayu apalah kiranya Tun sudi memberi bimbingan serta petunjuk tanpa melibatkan permainan politik dan emosi dendam siapakah yang sepatutnya diangkat sebagai pemimpin demi untuk menyelamatkan agama, bangsa dan negara tercinta.
Tun, bertindaklah sebelum terlambat. Saya sedar bahawa perjuangan Tun belum selesai.
Terima kasih.
21smiles.
Dearest Tun,
Although absolute power corrupts abssolutely, I do agree with you that we need a strong government in Malaysia. The opposition won’t be able to provide strong government if they come to power simply because there are too wide differences between their agendas. Nobody can imagine PAS getting to bed with DAP and nobody can imagine Teresa Kok giving Friday prayer sermon or the Tuan Gurus attending Teresa’s pig roast party. The cracks are so visible before they even form a government.
The best option is still the BN but the BN has forgotten a lot of things. They forgot that they need to go back to the basics, how the Perikatan had won the rakyat.
Please educate them Tun.
Askom w.b.t.
1.Tun, tak bersungguh2 pun bukankah negara kita masih mempunyai ketua tertinggi selain dari PM?
2.Kalau harapkan saya seorang sebagai PM pun memang tak terlarat Tun.
Wasalam.
truely agree with tun, but at the same time we must educate our young generation about the importance of racial harmonic instead of name calling and so on.

Dear Tun,
I do not believe AAB will give up the PM post for Najib that easily. There must be a secret agenda to that. Five months is a long time and plenty of damages could be done.
I keep wondering why did AAB take over the defence post? Looks like something crop up abt Najib signing some billion dollar deal of helicopters. Wonder where they get their info from?
How abt the Altantuya case? How did RPK get all those infomation? (True of false, we don’t know) Seems like there are some conversation tape now.
If Najib get into more problem and are not fit to be PM, then AAB will say he got to remain in power until someone suitable comes along.
There are more suspicious things on my mind but maybe my mind is just running wild and I sincerely hope AAB keep to his words and sacrifies for the country by stepping down gracefully.
Oh yeah, BTW Supersaint, we do not need a nice man to rule our country. We need a capable leader like Tun. Doesn’t matter whether he is nice or not.
Yes, for me not much of a strong gvernment but more of a strong leader.The person must be able to lead a country or organization without any reservations, any decisons made must be followed thru until completion.The moment a leader has doubts about the decision made, a lot of problems will crop up. For me dearest TUN is one of them but sad to say i cant see anyone including Najib or Yassin or even Anwar (don’t understand why some ppl blindly supporting him, even worst Mr Chinaman or Mr Singh supporting him?? MORE like “using” him got la!! Is this “great” man 2 blind not to see it or it’s just politic… all of them pretending to like each other)leading our country.
website ini menjatuhkan maruah melayu….

Ass’kum…kepada Tun dan semua yang membaca dan memberi komen.
Pemimpin seperti Tun sukar dicari ganti. Tun layak menjadi pemimpin dunia , telah banyak idea-idea dicurahkan dan pandangan Tun dihormati di seluruh dunia.
Semoga Tun terus memberi pandangan dan saya memang menyanjungi Tun kerana Tun boleh memberi penjelasan dan penerangan terhadap sesuatu perkara dengan mudah. Semua komen tun dalam blog ini akan diabadikan selama-lamanya.
Assalamualaikum Tun,
pada pendapat saya, pak lah memang tak layak jd PM.. tak cukup karisma.. bukan calang2 org boleh jd PM.. he is a good follower but not good as a decision maker…. dia ambik pulak budak hingusan jadi penasihat dia… ikut acuan budak tu… habih jadi tunggang langgang…
politik pak lah tak cukup licik… sepatutnya… dia kena pandai timbulkan isu apabila dia inginkan lakukan sesuatu… contohnya klu nak dekat election…kenalah… test market apa2 jua cerita hangt yang boleh membuatkan penyokong2nya (org BN amnya dan org UMNO khususnya)jadi bersatu padu ka… jadi bengang kat pembangkang ka…atau apa2 saja yang boleh penyokong2 BN aim sampai election day dan pengundi2 bukan BN pun boleh terpengaruh… ini tak… dia dok layan cerita pembangkang… dok tepis kutukan2 pembangkang… seolah2 pembangkang yang jadi dominan… suara2 menteri semua tak laku… bila menteri warning… semua rakyat tak heran…
Dlm masa yg sama, si budak hingusan tu.. dok bagi idea dia yg tah ape2… nak berpolitik ni.. mcm tarik rambut dlm tepung… tak boleh direct sgt… kena kona2 sikit… budak hingusan tu kena byk belajaq lagi… klu setakat Oxford je tak cukup… dia kena pi kursus BTN dulu… kena fahamkan lagu ‘Anak kecil main Api’ atau ‘bahtera Merdeka’..
Saya membesar dlm era pemerintahan TUN…
1981 – umur saya 6 thn.. saya dah tahu Tun as a PM…
1991 – umur saya 16 thn… saya dah pi kursus BTN, baguih kurus tu.
2001 – umur saya 26 thn… saya mengecapi era pemerintahan TUN dgn aman… kemewahan… harmoni… malaysia glamour… semua pemimpin dunia salute kat TUN… M’sia membangun dgn pesat… saya rasa secured yg amat sgt… saya amat yakin anak cucu saya akan bangga dok kat M’sia…
tapi kini… semuanya berubah… puncanya…… Pak Lah tak tegas + Budak hingusan yang tak tau sejarah melayu + DSAI yg kempunan nak jd PM dan org melayu (pembangkang) yang tak sedar diri…
saya harap Tun ciptakan satu formula… agar Najib dan Mukhris dpt mewarisi keunggulan pemerintahan Tun….
jgn biar kuasa Melayu hilang di telan oleh org melayu yang tak sedar diri… (Pas + PKR)……
wassalam…
Eh 1 more thing since Pak Lah has made his decision to go, umm do he have his portrait hanged at the memory corridor in PWTC and what he will be remembered for?
Because I saw this painting that have 5 person in it with their contributions in PWTC which includes u, so Pak Lah can be the no 6?
Dear Tun
In a multi racial country yes we need a strong and firm goverment
to lead you can’t please all the races all we need is a good balance
just like the BN weighing scale.
I hope Najib & his deputy will be firm in their decision making
without fear or favour in moving us forward we are in need of a dire
change.
It will be a plus if they have you in the cabinet on advisory role
it will be good and welcome news for the Rakyat.
Take care….
Ok boss, Pak Lah nak turun dah, whats next
inilah dipanggilkan udang di sebalik batu … mana pemimpin yg bukan melaungkan agenda untuk bangsa, agama dan negara, tetapi niat sebenarnya adalah mengaut keuntungan dari projek keraaan?
kini, Tun mula tunjukkan niat Tun untuk kembali berkuasa agar anaknya dapat memonopoli kekayaan negara ini …
Adakah Tun sedar akan keadaan seperti yg berikut?
(1) Pilihanraya 2004 mencatatkan kejayaan yg cermelang kerana rakyat menaruh harapan pada abdullah untuk menhapuskan Mahathirism …
(2) Tun mengecam abdullah menjadikan kekayaan negara sebagai kekayaan milik keluarganya … namun Tun sekarang juga berniat untuk menjadikan kekayaan negara sebagai milik keluarga Tun
(3) Tun mengecam abdullah gilakan kuasa dan tidak mahu berundur, namun Tun sekarang berniat untuk kembali berkuasa … artikel ini telah jelas tunjukkan niat Tun dengan pelbagai alasan agar pada masa akan datang, Tun dilantik menjadi penasihat negara dan menggunakan peluang ini untuk membantu anaknya sendiri menjadi perdana menteri kelak
(4) Tidak tahukan Tun bahawa orang Malaysia amat membencian Tun kerana mempecahbelahkan rakyat di negara ini, dah keadaan ini amat jelas dikalangan orang muda?
– Hanya orang yg berusia menyokong Tun kerana minda mereka dipengaruhi oleh media yg tiada kebebasan pada zaman Tun, yg menyebabkan mereka berminda seperti dalam zaman jahilliah.
Namun saya faham benar Tun akan berkata … Tun tidak mungkin menyebabkan semua orang sukakan Tun, tetapi yg suka Tun itu tidak kurang juga … Inilah mahathirism … apa yg dibuatnya adalah betul dan perkara yg sama dilakukan oleh orang lain adalah salah … dan bermuka tembok …
Cuba Tun bandingkan Tunku Abdul Rahman dengan Tun sendiri … walaupun orang muda seperti saya tiada peluang melihat Tunku Abdul Rahaman, namun jasa beliau amat dihargai dan disanjungi oleh semua kaum … Bagaimanakah pula dengan Tun? Tahukan Tun bahawa berapa ramai orang yg bersuka-ria dan ketawa terbahak-bahak apabila melihat Tun dalam peristiwa terkena sembur mata dengan semburan serbuk lada hitam? Semua orang ketawa dan mengatakan padan muka Tun … Sudah pasti Tun menafikan bahawa begitu ramai orang yg bencikan Tun … siapakah yg akan beritahu Tun keadaan ini dengan kedudukan Tun? Mereka hanya akan maki-hamun di belakang Tun …
Sedarkan lah diri, tun …
aswb Tun & the rest,
I vehemently agree with Tun’s statement;A weak Government would not be able to deal with the quarrelling between the races, which is the natural tendency of most multiracial societies. Indeed in some multiracial countries violence and fighting are common. Witness the countries around us.
Again I have to say that it was DSAAB who triggered this scenario few years ago as he really wanted to propagate the real democracy under the so-called philosophy of Islam Hadhari that practices openess and fairness in every areas,politically, economically and culturally. Again I would say that DSAAB is undoubtely a good person,a pious person, a distinguished diplomat, a good husband and family person. But when it comes to managing a country, a Pm must run a ship in very stern and strict manner, who ever wanted to rock the boat will be thrown away overboard. You have demonstrated the resolute quality of a captain before, who ever staged mutiny against you will be casted away. You are really a good doctor who knows how to prescribe the type of medicines and antidotes to cure sickness and disaese within your party and the government. And our country really needs a leader like your calibre.
I hope that the new PM would be able to exhibit your kind of leadership qualities to manage our country’s multiracial people free out of the troubles. May the new captain steer the ship out of trouble water.
I would like to pose this question to you my dear TUN, have you been ever consulted by the ruling party for advice when it comes to critical matters concerning the country’s policies and administration nor the critical matters that surrounds the goverment and her people ?????
we strongly feel that you could still contribute to the country in the capacity as the government’s advisor which is akin to the Senior Minister of Singapore? Perhaps Tun could always write an article on this matter.
Wassalam, may Allah Subhanawattalab bless you and your family.
Dear Tun,
Malaysians now have had a taste of superior leadership (yours) and below mediocre leadership (regret to say your successor even has problems organising his thoughts).
It will take generations before a leader of your calibre will emerge and in between Malaysians can only hope that until then, those at the helm will at least be above average.
I pray the country will get back on track and all Malaysians can at least afford to smile again.
Best Regards
Ataturk
during Saddam’s time. Now, greater democracy, weak govt – thousands of people died in the streets of Iraq.
Our neighbor in the north – greater democracy, weaker govt – people sleep in the streets and govt’s house.
Our neighbor in the south – Strong govt, greater democracy with ISA (opposition rep made bankruptcy)but no HINDRAF – the counyry is very far advanced.
Look at them, how they handle the minorities, the Malays, no one marches into their leader’s functions.
HINDRAF, Social Contract, The rights of Bumiputera, Ex-gratia, the minorities are questioning the rigths of Majority (what a democratic country?). Our top leaders dare not to answer, what more to explain, because… weak govt. Satu hari nanti orang mintak nasik dalam pinggan kita pun kita kena kasi. Kesian pada majority but weak govt..
Salam Tun,
Saya dan keluarga tergelak besar bila Koh soo kun gelarkan Pk Lah Bapa Demokrasi. Dan paling lucu bila pk lah dengan bangga tersenyum menerima gelaran tersebut.
Persoalan lucu mula timbul, adakah sejak merdeka dulu, dari zaman Tunku sampai la ke zaman Tun negara kita ni telah diperintah secara bukan demokrasi? adakah selama ni tak de pilihanraya? adakah rakyat langsung tak boleh nak bercakap? atau berapa ramai pemimpin pembangkang yang da mati kena bunuh oleh pihak kerajaan?
Kalau ye pun nak bodek, berpada-pada la, jgn la sampai nak memperbodohkan rakyat. Apalah yang nak dibanggakan, kalau pun benar paklah lebih demokrasi dari yang lain sebelumnya, pada rakyat apakah keadaan dan kehidupan sekarang lebih bagus dari dulu? Apalah maknanya demokrasi yang dibawa pk lah dengan kesempitan hidup rakyat dan anak bangsa yang menerima natijah dari kepimpinannya yang lemah dari segala hal.
Adakah bila bangsa melayu sudah boleh diperkotak katikkan maka ianya satu demokrasi baru? Apakah bila hak orang melayu sudah boleh dipertikaikan maka itu lah sebenar-benarnya demokrasi dimata Soo kun? Apakah bila orang Melayu sudah tidak boleh mencium keris pusaka bangsa sendiri maka itu lah demokrasi yang tulen?
Sungguh malang nasib Melayu mendapat pemimpin yang gilakan pujian, takut pada tekanan hingga menggadai maruah bangsa sendiri.
Assalam Alaikum,
Dear Dr. Mahathir,
I used to think that BN had a marketing technique by using MIC, MCA, and UMNO to win the hearts and minds of all major races (in terms of numbers) in Malaysia. But now I realised that it is just another racial division that we have in politics, along with that in school, work, social life, and etc.
In most cases, racial division in the country is not a problem; but the division remains. So, how do we solve an arising racial problem if racial unity is diminishing ??????
It is only a natural instinct to protect “our own” in times of divisions. One such problem is the increasing demand of racial equality.
Dear Dr. Mahathir, how do you propose this “Stronger Government” should tackle the complicated and deep rooted racial division we have ??????
As much as I am patriotic, I am all ears.
Warm regards,
Muhammad
PS. to Malaysian politics: WE NEED TO MAKE MONEY… NOT CHANGE…
(money = some degree of satisfaction, that may treat racial problems)
Salam Tun
I think the racial bias in this country is at its worst level. It’s all due to our leaders (past and present) using the race card to get support due to their own weaknesses even within their own race. Its ironic when Tun said that our present leaders are weak but is it not that most of them were once under Tun?. It might be good for the country that we once had a very strong leader like Tun but look at the result now. It produces weak successors who are basically ‘yes’ man and unable to resolve the critical issues in hand when they take the lead. Handing over the baton to DS Najib will not solve the problem as he is not as strong a leader as anyone would want him to be, especially when one compares him with his father. I think we have a long way to go to get a strong leader to resolve our country’s woes.
Maka Pak Lah pun bernyanyi…

Dear Tun,
Berdasarkan pergaulan seharian, ramai generasi baru masih kehairanan mengapa generasi lama boleh bersatu padu didalam menjayakan Malaysia seperti adik dengan abang. Saya tertarik dengan satu luahan pendapat yang mengatakan bahawa keadaan tersebut berlaku kerana Cina dan India mengiktiraf “ketuanan Melayu”. Bangsa Melayu secara semulajadinya tidak rasa tergugat dan sanggup berkongsi apa sahaja.
Tetapi hari ini, disebabkan tiadanya pemfokusan sejarah dan fakta terhadap asal usul Malaysia , maka generasi Cina dan India baru merasakan mereka mempunyai hak sama rata dengan Melayu sebagai warganegara dan tidak perlu menghormati Melayu sebagai tuan asal Malaysia. Soal perjanjian dulu dan perlembagaan dianggap sebagai bahan sejarah. Tambahan pula hari ini, pemimpin pembangkang Melayu yang turut memperjuangkan agenda yang sama atas atas dasar kepentingan politik peribadi.
Sekiranya diatas semangat yang sama, ahli politik kerajaan yang masih bodoh mempertikaikan asal usul Melayu, perlu dikenakan tindakan yang sama sepertimana wakil UMNO dari PP. Walaupun wakil tersebut belum tentu bersalah.
Mesej yang salah akan diberikan sekiranya pemimpin UMNO turut mendiamkan diri dalam soal ini. Pemimpin Melayu dalam PR semacam robot, lihatlah kerajaan negeri Perak…
Bangunlah Melayu Islam dari mimpi…
dearest Tun,
finally there is hope with the latest anouncement of DSAB not to retain the PM post, thats really seing light at the end of the tunnel, but do u personnally think that DS najib is the best candidate? to be honest, in my opinion, in the current UMNO MPs most of them are lack of caliber (some or most bloggers may disagree with this). DS Najib, even before becoming PM is already surrounded with scandals though he denied it by swearing on the Quran, but this and other scandals will continue to haunt him. will he be able to focus on governing the country then?? Hope the light at the end of the tunnel is not an oncoming train…
Dear Sir,
I read your article with much interest. Anyway it was your view.
Need of a strong government for multiracial country is not a must if the citizens knows to respect one another. Malaysians are much learned society now compared to your young days. Matured society knows their limits. Even if one crosses the limit nobody bothers.
In our country, some selfish politicians to which you top the list, play racial cards to arouse emotions of certain groups against others. As Malaysia practices communal politics, these politicians play racial sentiments because, it is the shortest and the cheapest way to popularize themselves among their community. They have to do this when their party election is near by. Messages of these selfish politicians are brought to the public by their fovoured newspapers and TVs. Their medias are above the laws of the country because if other vernacular papers write news of equal gravity favouring their community, the KDN would be with drawn.
These politicians (including yourself) self interest supersedes their love for the country.
…hardly few weeks ago we had Zaid Ibrahim throwing the bombshell at his ‘nice n clean’ PM with his sudden outbursts on judicial reforms and anti-ISA stand which eventually saw Zaid’s hasty exit from the Cabinet. Now that we have another champion Shabery Chik, going at odds with his ‘cool n easy’ boss on the eventual dissolution of UMNO, if the notion of direct entry into BN materialised…sad state for our ‘ever cool n relaxing’ PM now that he is embroiled into reasoning out his so-called noble idea…
Perhaps Tun is cock right on your advice to him to ‘shut up’, while waiting for Mac to come by…i wonder, if the son-in-law is partly to be blamed for the early and disgraceful departure of his most beloved sleeping Prime Minister of the ‘lands of the rising son-in-law’ !
Speak for yourself, Mahathir.
It’s not “we”, it’s the Malays. The Malays need a strong government to use heavy-handed tactics to suppress dissent aimed at racial and unfair policies that favor them.
Salam Tun,
Kalau bole saya nak minta Tun ulas skit pasal cadangan Pk lah nak tubuh Kelab BN. Saya sebagai rakyat biasa rasa mcm ada yang tak kena pada cadangan tu. Seolah2 mcm ada agenda peribadi je. Lagi pula idea dikeluarkan ketika merasmikan perhimpunan agung parti Gerakan. Dan seperti yang kita tahu, Gerakan lah satu2nya parti yang galak dok bercakap soal satu parti BN.
Tun, yang saya tak faham sangat, kenapa la Pk lah tu terlampau nak bg muka sgt pd parti yang da kalah teruk pilihanraya, dah tu pulak bersifat anti-melayu lak tu. Saya amat berharap agar pemimpin melayu dalam UMNO dan BN tidak termakan dengan tipu helah Gerakan yang seakan mahu menghilangkan kuasa Melayu secara halus dan berhemah.
Harap Tun dapat utarakan pendapat Tun dalam Hal ini. Tq
But sad to say that we do not have any potential candidates in either camp (BN or PR) at the moment that has strong leadershp skills! we are doomed until we find “THE ONE” who will bring the country to better times and bringing back the racial harmony! to me the current BN and PR has no one that can do the job! so we as rakyat gotta do better ourselves and not rely on these politicians!
askm Tun Semua
Adakah sesuai paklah digelar Bapa Demokrasi?
Apa ruang demokrasi yg paklah beri kepada semua?
Adakah rakyat bebas bersuara (ISA..)
Adakah media bebas (spin media…)
Adakah hak rakyat terbela (Barang naik, minyak naik)

tolong tulis banyak sikit dalam bahasa malaysia
kurang faham le
Salam Ayahanda Tun, saya harap Datuk Seri Najib sedar betapa kritikalnya masa beliau mengambil alih tugas PM Malaysia ini. Tak ada glamour dah Tun. Silap hari bulan ikan Gelama saja dia dapat. Harap dia tahu dan sedar pada hakikat ini. Melalui laman blog Tun ini, kita rakyat Malaysia dah pecat satu PM. Dia mesti tak mau ikut tuju situ kut. Selamat malam ayahanda Tun. – Kamal
We the Malaysian totally agree with your views and various others
subjust TUN you had put out in your BLOG.I do not wish to prolong.
When You become the PM The country was strong in every sense including its Leaders.Now not only the GOVT is weak .The Outgoing
PM is said to to be Lameduck.Replacing Him is also very TINTED with
multiple issues.Will this not also haunted him rather the True is never from time.I remember TUN infact at one point of time did not
find Najib as Good as expectation so do the Nation.This is no choose delima.I just watch talk on TV.Why not the nation give him the change to lead. Meaning KU LI .
Yang Mulia Tun,
Kadang-kadang saya kecewa dengan para pemimpin negara sama ada yang lama atau yang baru. Penggunaan Bahasa Melayu sangat kurang dalam semua perbualan dan ucapan sehingga di hadapan rakyat Malaysia yang berbangsa Melayu pun masih juga hendak menggunakan Bahasa Inggeris. Tetapi di waktu yang sama bercakap tentang hendak memartabatkan Bahasa Melayu.
Kemudian bila kaum lain tidak menghormati Bahasa Melayu dan tulisan jawi, semua hendak melenting. Sampai bila pun Bahasa Melayu tidak akan menjadi Bahasa Ilmu di negaranya sendiri.
Bercakap tentang kerajaan yang kuat, saya terpanggil memberi pendapat. Mulai sekarang hingga bulan Mac nanti, negara akan hilang punca. Rakyat juga hilang punca. Hari-hari tak ada berita lain yang kedengaran. Ini baru proses menawarkan diri dan perlumbaan nak jadi calon, belum proses berkempen lagi.
Masa untuk membangunkan negara dan sumber negara dihabiskan begitu sahaja. Masa tersebut digunakan untuk berkempen dan melobi bahagian-bahagian.Terlalu demokratik sehingga calon yang mempunyai masalah pun mahu bertanding untuk jawatan tinggi parti.
Orang belum lupa lagi kes wang RM2 juta di Australia dulu. Orang belum lupa lagi kes gadis bawah umur di Melaka dulu. Walaupun didapati tidak bersalah, imej kerajaan harus dijaga. Macam mana kerajaan hendak jadi kuat?
Sekuat manapun kerajaan, kalau masa dihabiskan tanpa penjanaan ekonomi dan sumber negara, akibatnya akan timbul onar. Dan seyugia diingatkan iaitu ada orang menunggu peluang sahaja untuk merampas semua ini.
Sekian.
Salam Tun…..Saya setuju…Saya akan terus menghayati penulisan Tun….Hidup Tun!
SALAM TUN,
THE STAR today have just proved me and TUN right, Zaid Ibrahim visited Anwar Ibrahim at the PKR’s leader opening house on Saturday which held at Cherok Tokun.
About your article today, seems to me this article should be written 2 or 3 months earlier.
However your explanations on our economy(weak) current situations are true. It was obviously right as we knew when KLCI drop almost 500 points last week which means investors are pulling out money from market share. It also proved that our economy in weak conditions.
TUN, why don’t you focus more on how to strengthen back our economy by giving your opinions or views on this blog?
Or why don’t you arrange an appointment with the Finance Minister 1 or 2 in the nearest time, to clarify all your views regarding current economy situation and giving opinions to strengthen the economy and our nations?
Or why don’t our government assemble advisory council named Government Advisory Council(GAC) which includes former leaderships we have such you TUN, KU LI, MUSA HITAM and many others?
Your experience is much needed to help weakest leadership we have today.
Hope our country would be given a strong leader as we had before with a great cabinet team’s in order to compete internationally and to strive towards achieving VISION 2020.
WASALAM…

I totally agree with you Tun. Those who don’t like you and accusing you for so many things are those who don’t understand what is politic all about. I still remember of Machiavelli Theory, in order to be in power you must be “cruel”. So i don’t blame you Tun for being a very firm Prime Minister during your time. That is why you are very successful. But what about your successor. He ruin everything that you have done to make our country developed just because he want to tell Malaysian that he is a holy man or a nice guy. Like Anwar just because to get in power he is willing to do everything which is possible to make him become Prime Minister. That’s mean Anwar also learned from Machiavelli.
salam Tun,
to a post about paklah being mr nice guy who is not racist, I would say this to the poster. It is good to be nice, but it is not a pre requisite of being a great leader. A great leader must have vision, mission and above all smart to unite the nation and inspiring to others.
Leadership is not magnetic personality â that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not making friends and influencing people â that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a personâs vision to high sights, the raising of a personâs performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations– Drucker.
I am not sure about najib’s potential , maybe being tun razak’s son he has a lot of advantage, but I only hope that in the next few years we will never be in a situation where we will say the same sentences we said after chedet quit office and after paklah’s four years in office.
May Allah bless Malaysia.
My dear Y.A.Bhg. Tun,
Assalamualaikum.
I totally agree 100% with all your comments above. In fact, we must, by now, learn from our mistakes and not to repeat it again in the next general election. Please stop the bickering amongst ourselves in BN & start working towards a very strong BN Government, InsyaAllah. Amin.
I strongly believe that if all the component parties in BN could set aside their differences & work together towards one same vision & mission (that is to say, a prosperous Malaysia of various races who respect each other’s needs & sovereignty), it will not be a surprise at all that BN would this time secure more than two third majority, hopefully with the necessary guidance from Y.A.Bhg. Tun, if not too much of asking 🙂
Y.A.Bhg., you’re the best PM so far where all the races could live happily under your premiership.
Thank you Tun for your willingness to read my two-sen worth 🙂
Salam Aidil Fitri & Maaf Zahir Batin. Semoga Tun dipanjangkan umur & dimurahkan rezeki selalu 🙂 , InsyaAllah. Amin.
Dear Tun,
There are 2 points I would like to share with Tun, based on this writing:
1. Coalition government:
Tun mentioned that a strong coalition government is able to hold its coalition or vice versa. This is true if the component parties are only interested in the economic benefit resulting from the political influence (which could also cause corruption).
But if the component party upholds the basic principle in which the party is formed, having a strong government doesn’t play an important role (in terms of avoiding component parties from leaving). Only if their principle cannot get implemented, the component party may leave. Example can be seen in Germany, where the coalition parties do not normally have two third majority, but still, the political situation is stable.
2. Multiracial society:
Following my previous argument, and ignoring the reason for economic benefit, let’s look at the situation in Malaysia. The main component parties in BN are formed to fight for the rights of their own ethnics. This, basically, already generates conflicts within the coalition itself.
So, what ties the coalition government now is simply the economic benefit. If this interest is not fulfilled, the component parties may threaten to leave. The component parties do not join BN because BN is strong, they join because they want to gain some economic benefit.
The only way would be to abandon the race-based politics, and based it on the real principle to prosper the country. There are various principles, and hence there could be various parties. Parties form coalition if they share similar (not necessarily identical) principles.
p.s.
I still remember my grandmother talking to me about the “good old times”, when the people, for they are Malay, Chinese, Indian or Dayak, etc., had just a simple thinking to live and prosper. People were helping each other. They have never thought that other ethnics will jeopardize their rights until the race-based politicians make an issue out of it. So who’s the one disuniting the people? Who’s the one giving this kind of tags?
It is a pity that my true Malaysian friends from other ethnics are actually made outside Malaysia. In Malaysia, we are given different kind of tags by our political environment, we can’t simply talk to each other. Outside Malaysia, we are, just and simply, Malaysians.
Y.A.Berbahagia Tun, ada seorang yang konon menggelar diri penganalisa politik menulis di sini
http://msomelayu.blogspot.com/2008/10/ketua-pemuda-umno.html
yang antara lain mendakwa:-
“…..Campur tangan bapanya, Mahathir Mohamad juga tidak boleh diketepikan. Semasa pilihan raya umum lalu ada seorang calon mengakui menerima wang sebanyak RM1 juta daripada Mahathir. Kalau kepada orang lain Mahathir boleh menghulurkan sebanyak itu kenapa tidak untuk anaknya sendiri?….”
Bagi saya tuduhan begini merupakan satu lagi produk keluaran seorang blogger politik murahan dan Tun sikitpun tidak tercalar dengan tuduhan liar begini, malah Tun pernah dituduh lebih drp itu. Tapi saya berpendapat jika Tun menyaman orang ini, atau membuat laporan polis mungkin ianya boleh menjadi satu permulaan untuk membentuk warga cyber atau bloggers Malaysia yang lebih bertanggungjawab!
I never thought there would be a time in Malaysia where there would be a weak and incompetent government. I think AAB should spend the next 6 months reading and reflecting on the management skills of the earli Muslim community in Madinah and how the Sahabah were the pinnacle of strong and effective leadership. They were decisive and deliberate in their authoritative roles because of their strong conviction for a noble cause. I hope that with a leadership change, there comes a mentality and attitude change as regards to putting the success of the state before all else.
the problem with you is TUN you never believe in multiracial, you only want a curruputed umno to run this counry, do you know how many sin have they creted under your rule ? waht is nep when naza can owe hundres of APs, why not give to hundres of bumi instead of 1 ? promoting islam and at the same time curruption and abused and misused of power which is dosa is so rampant under your premireship no doubt you spend a lot more and they said you bring development, i can do that too you know with the monies from petronas.
You have to be sincere of waht the other races even the india estate worker contribution to this country, umno is finish , period even the bumi rejected them, most , bcos they are not benefited at all.
I dont have high hope for PR initially, but they seem to pool things together better than what BN can do in 50 years, races relation is better when you talk one to one. go down the field and u will know without all the protocol . I used to admire you a lot , but you seem to make a lot of unislamic statement, which mean racist in nature, where the hell you think we are, r we not contributing to the income tazx enough for your previous govt to waste and send all vip children to over-see while leaving the needly poor bumi and malaysian at home and struggle, tun be fair and wise to ALL malaysian and earn some merits ……………
Salam TDM and all;
InsyaAllah mudah mudahan Malaysia akan terus di terajui oleh pemimpin yang ikhlas, tulen, sejati dan bukan proxy dari luar.
Amin and Wassalam
Blok D, rumah flat tempat saya tinggal dihuni oleh beberapa golongan etnik, sebelah depan rumah saya ialah Pak Arab dari Sudan,sebelah bawah rumah pula pak arab juga dari Yaman, Yang sebelah lagi budak2 bujang cina, Aras groung floor pula beberapa keluarga India, selain Melayu, dan cina, begitu juga orang2 arab lain dari iran, libya, dan seorang org peranchis Ronan namanya.Rumah flat ini menjadi kawasan penempatan antarabangsa kerana terletak berdekatan dengan UKM dan kebanyakan mereka adalah pelajar di sana.
Ketika saya membaca artikal ini ada seribu satu macam bunyi yang hiruk pikuk, yg sorg sedang menderum-derum kereta mazda lamanya, Pak Arab Yaman tu tengah buat renovation agaknya, hampir setiap mlm dia mcm tu, ketuk dinding tak habis2. Ada pulak anakdara turun tangga dengan kasut tumitnya berkletak-kletuk bunyinya kuat skali.
Suara budak menangis lagi la, bersahut-sahutan.
samada kita memerlukan kerajaan yg kuat atau tidak ? kami hanya mahukan tempat tinggal kos rendah yg selesa dan tenang. tapi, takde pemimpin yang mahu memikirkannya. nampaknya mereka lebih rakus mengejar kedudukan, pangkat, harta dan tembolok masing2, Ya ! Allah, berilah mereka peringatan dan pengajaran supaya mereka sentiasa sedar siapakah diri mereka sebenarnya.
PERALIHAN KUASA
Apabila pemerintah bertukar kerajaan mahupun takhta bertukar tangan sesuatu yang rakyat dambakan adalah perubahan dan penambahbaikan atau ‘reform’ dan ‘improvement’.
Bidang memilih pengganti bukannya kerja mudah seumpama membuat telahan atau ramalan bilangan bintang di langit. Sebaliknya adalah amanah berat kerana yang memilih samaada suara rakyat atau pemerintah tertinggi yang bakal menerima kesan dari pilihan yang dibuat di kehidupan dunia ini mahupun kehidupan selepasnya.
Mengira detik bilangan hari peralihan kuasa bukan satu persoalan. Bulan Mac tahun depan bukanlah jauh di hujung dunia. Bukan pula lambat apabila dihitung purnama. Tetapi titik persoalan utama sekarang adalah kredibiliti yang dinanti daripada si pengganti.
Sesuatu yang dinanti adalah kredibiliti yang datang daripada keupayaan dan kejujuran pengganti. Malaysia mungkin mempunyai ramai kelibat pemimpin berkarisma dan bijak tapi apa yang bakal dituntut adalah keupayaan yang menjadi teras kekuatan pemimpin dan kejujuran yang menjadi dinding akhlak bakal si pengganti. Diharap Malaysia akan menerima pemimpin yang punya kedua-duanya.
Apapun yang pergi akan tetap dikenang dan yang datang bersilih ganti.
Khas buat Dato Seri Abdullah Hj Ahmad Badawi lafaz selamat tinggal diucapkan dan jika ditakdirkan Dato Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak akan menjadi pengganti atau bakal pemerintah lafaz tanhiah diucapkan.
Tambahan lagi kepada DS NAJIB ucapan….
GET READY ditalukan kerana rakyat khasnya TUN MAHATHIR tidak akan duduk senyap kerana segala tindak-tanduk dan gerak-geri akan diperhati.
http://dospenang.blogspot.com
YABhg Tun,
Yes indeed. We need a strong government and a capable leader.
Keep on writting Tun.
We are right behind you
Aslmkm YABhg,
Saya hairan mengapa bila pemimpin UMNO buat kenyataan, berdasarkan fakta sejarah, mengenai asal-usul orang-orang Cina di negara ini mereka dituduh bersikap perkauman dan dikenakan bermacam-macam tekanan. Sehinggakan permohonan maaf dari Najib pun tidak diterima. Tetapi dato Tan Lian dari Parti Gerakan yang membuat kenyataan mencabar asal-usul orang Melayu pula dilepaskan dengan begitu mudah sahaja. Dato Tan Lian adalah seorang Timbalan Menteri di Kementerian Penerangan. Beliau patut lebih bertanggungjawab dan tindakan yang lebih tegas patut dikenakan keatasnya.
you are the living history and yet ingnored by by silly gov.
we always respect or teacher and old timer…. a moment paklah dump u, i ve a feeling s thing is wrong…and we pay for this now..
tun,
i really like your blog
hope u will contribute more of ur great ideas n thoughts about the country
hv always been ur fan ever since i was a child 🙂
sy sgt suka political era tun
miss sgt tun being the PM
kalu dulu masa perhimpunan agung UMNO tu mmg sgt tunggu la turn tun nk kasik speech
tp skrg sy dh x tgk lagi perhimpunan agung UMNO
i agree with ur opinion about we need the strong govt..
esp the needs to hv a PM who is very decisive, firm and tak mudah diperkotak katikkan
skrg mmg masa susah BN
n kalu pengemudi x pandai mengawal haluannya, apa yg BN telah usahakan berpuluh2 thn mungkin akan hancur dalam sekelip mata
BN kena menilai balik apakah aspek yg tidak relevan dlm kepimpinan mereka
esp skrg the gen X mostly dh ada hak mengundi (ppl who born in 1980 n above)
these young people r looking at the country leadership in different dimension
bukan shj in political area, but the same thing also happen in the organization yg byk2 executive baru generasi X ni
last year masa UTP convocation, tun baru recover from ur bypass surgery n was not really healthy..
sy quite frustrated act sbb 5 thn belajar nk tunggu salam convo dgn tun
hopefully next time kalu ada rezeki, boleh salam n bgamba dgn tun
wish u live well, healthily n happily
take care n god bless

Examples of strong governments:
Kim Il Sung – 46 years – 24 years as PM (1948-1972) and 22 years as President (1972-1994)
Fidel Castro – 32 years (1976-2008)
Suharto – 31 years (1967-1998)
Robert Mugabe – 28 years (1980-2008)
Mahathir Mohamad – 22 years (1981-2003)
**********************************************************
gee…which one of the above leaders propelled his nation to be a well-respected developing nation while minimizing racial tensions and putting the liberals in their place?
It will always amaze me how the opposition stalwarts will reduce Dr. M into a dictator or a Stalin or a Mugabe,just like the whitewashed western media and journalists- try reading BBC or watching hardtalk.
Can we equate Anwar as Malaysia’s own Suharto????After all he’s a very good buddy of Wolfowitz,a former US ambassador to Indonesia.
Salam,
Saya berpendapat kerajaan yang kuat dan kukuh di Malaysia hanya boleh wujud jika parti UMNO sendiri kuat. Jika PKR dan PAS dah mula menjadi pilihan orang Melayu, maka tak hairan lah parti komponen BN lain akan hilang “respect” kepada UMNO.
Jika PAS seperti di negeri Kedah berjaya memeperjuangkan hak Melayu lebih dari UMNO. Saya percaya ramai ahli biasa UMNO akan join PAS. Jika PAS berjaya perjuang hak Melayu, maka fungsi asal UMNO telah diambil alih oleh PAS.
Wahai pemimpin UMNO sekalian, kembalilah ke pangkal jalan. Jika tak ada keikhlasan dan tiada kebolehan janganlah berebut jawatan pemimpin. Janganlah hidup meyusahkan rakyat.Berjuanglah sebagaimana pejuang2 Melayu yang asal. Depa tak rebut jawatan. Depa bukan hendak kemasyuran dan harta benda. Depa hanya menjalankkan tanggungjawab pertahankan tanahair dan masa hadapan generasi seterusnya.
Ikhlaskan diri berjuang untuk keredhaaan Allah Ta’ala seprti orang2 dahulu. InsyaAllah nama2 tuan2 semua akan disebut , dikenangi dan dihargai oleh generasi akan datang.
salam Tun,
your musings now turn to strong governments just when everyone is thinking of najib and muhyidin as the next core leaders…..timely? which leads to the question, are najib+muhyidin the key preamble to a strong government?
najib as you had earlier remarked as a yes-man must surely not qualify as a strong leader, that leaves muhyidin alone, remember he is the one who pop the question first to the media?
if bn is the government, would koh tsu koon, samy, and whoever it is from mca fit the criteria?
do we need a strong government?, is easy to answer academically, but there is NONE in the present line up that can form it. sad?
continuity is our problem here. admittedly your last 22 years was a strong government which suddenly went reverse on all fronts, left everyone clueless…. and we are all too big headed to admit and agree that singapore’s practice of continuity does lend a steady hand in governing….
salam Tun yg dihormati,sekiranya dato seri Najib dan muhiyyidin menjadi pedana Menteri dan Tpm mereka mesti meneruskan projek jambatan bengkok jg dibatalkan oleh pemimpin yg lemah, sebagai menembus maruah rakyat Malaysia.Tun yg dihormati teruskan perjuangan sehingga misi ini diselesaikan.
Salam Tun,
I am a firm believer of the spirit and principle of BN which originates from Perikatan…………the same principle has been adopted by our Rasullalah SAW to unite the tribals Arabs. Its not the question of weak government, its a leadership crisis we are embroiling.
To prove my point, PAS left the BN coalition, but since we have a good leadership then, BN is not shaken.
Salam.
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhoo !!!
YAB Tun dan keluarga.
Alhamdulillah dan syukur ke hadrat ilahi.
Saya bersama keluarga sentiasa berdoa agar Tun sihat sejahtera dan semoga keamanan Malaysia yang dikecapi selama ini menjadi agenda utama yang penting untuk setiap pemimpin dan rakyat untuk bawa Malaysia ke hala tuju yang boleh dibanggakan.
Ayah saya yang umur sebaya dengan Tun berkata ‘Malaysia susah mahu cari pengganti untuk 2 orang iaitu Allahyarham P.Ramlee & Tun Dr.Mahathir’. Ayah saya pernah lihat Tun dengan jarak dekat iaitu di tapak Pasar Tani di Suleiman Court dimana SOGO adanya sekarang.
Akhir sekali saya berdoa agar jasa Tun selama ini memberi semangat kepada pemimpin pemimpin muda untuk bersungguh sungguh menitik berat hal keamanan dan kestabilan politik dengan menitik berat bukan sahaja ekonomi tetapi kesejahteraan ummah untuk akhirat kelak yang dapat menerajui dengan saksama sebuah ‘STRONG GOVERMENT’.
Wassalam.

Dear Tun & Bloggers
Yesterday I attended Raya open house of a friend. Somehow someone mentioned about D.N being the PM. Some had given their views how worried they are with that situation. I’m affraid many still think that D.N is somehow related to the Mogolian model death. In fact I have heard many given same feelings regarding issue everywhere.
I’m sorry to tell you this Tun. People are really confused and very affraid.
Dear YABhg Tun Dr. Mahathir,
Agree with everything that you had written. I did not agree with some of the things you did but you always had the interest of Malaysia first. That was very apparent. You too had the gift of knowing what to do. Perhaps it came about because you read extensively.
In a nutshell no one can accuse you of not doing the job.
You did the job very well indeed.
asalamualaikum tun,
as always,bulls eye.straight to the point.agree 100%that Malaysia needs strong and capable leadership.who do we have?najip’s turn now.same scenerio with paklah.son out law act more than father in law.now mrs najip’s turn to ruin the country.Rakyat got no problem with najip on the whole,considering tun razak’s contribution to the country especially to the bumis.can najip wear the pants in his house?
no disrespect meant here.but if UMNO want’s to survive the coming years,better draw battle plan from now.we have had enough..and please don’t think paklah is sacrificing himself for the greater good of the party or country.hell no.paklah finally GOT THE MESSAGE.leave or face the music.
so let’s hope najip doesn’t walk the same path that paklah took.let’s pray for true strong leadership and most important of all,a true honest leader with the Rakyat at heart.sure reminds me of tun’s era.
wassalam.ALHAMDULILAH,mukhriz has qualified.
Our beloved Tun,
Thank you for spending most of your times for the nation even though you’ve retired. we really missed your leadership.
P/s do continuously guide the young leaders to makes Malaysia the best in the world.
I and family would like to congratulate your son Doto Mukhriz. We highly hopes that you can lead him to the top.
I also would like to thank Dato Seri Abdullah for stepping down and let others to leads the country. I hope he will continuously support BN. Don’t be like manys others….
May God always bless you and your family.

Salam buat Tun n keluarga. Sekarang keadaan kerajaan BN sangat goyah. Puncanya ramai pengundi termasuk org2 melayu dah termakan hasutan DSAI yg tk ada berpendirian langsung. Disebabkan dia, org2 Hindraf begitu kurang-ajar berdemonstrasi pada perjumpaan hari raya. Tapi org2 UMNO dan BN agak takut nak bersuara, takut nanti org2 Hindu yg lain akan melenting. Fikirlah baik2. Kalau DSAI berkuasa dan hapuskan NEP, akan jahanamlah org2 Melayu. Org2 Melayu Singapura dah lama hilang kuasa di negara sendiri. Kalau tidak berhati-hati n selalu bertelagah sesama-sendiri, org2 melayu di Malaysia akan terpinggir dan dipinggirkan. Bangsa2 lain pula yg akan berkuasa. Sebelum ia terjadi, hapuskanlah PKR, parti kanak-kanak rakyat, yg cuma mengaggung-aggungkan pemimpinnya yg cuma tahu mengamuk, buat kacau dan gila kuasa.
ciri2 seorg pemimpin yg disegani dan mendpt sokongn rakyat perlbagai kaum adalah berkeupayaan menerajui negara dlm tempoh lebih dr 2 penggal (10 tahun). Dlm masa tersebut, kerajaan dibawah kepimpinannya berjaya merancang pelan jgka masa pendek, jgka masa sderhana dan jgka masa pjg yg boleh memberi manfaat kpd semua rakyat dr pelbagai kaum. kbykan pelan jgka masa pendek melibatkan dasar2 yg akan menentukan halatuju sesebuah negara spt dasar pandang ke timur, dasar perindustrian, dasar penswastaan, dasar persyarikatan, belilah brgn buatan malaysia, sistem 1 masa bg Malaysia Timur & Barat, semua dasar inilah yg akn membawa rakyat kpd masa depan yg lebih jelas dan fokus bukan utk beberapa pihak saja tp semua pihak akn dpt faedahnya. smua dasar ini dibentuk dlm tempoh 5 thn pertama jd PM. melalui rancangan jgka masa sederhana pula pelbagai projek2 bermanfaat dirangka dan dibina bg menyokong mencapai pelan jgka masa pjg seperti projek lebuh raya Utara-Selatan, Timur-Barat, projek kereta nasional, KLCC, litar sepang, KLIA. semua projek ini sgghpun melibatkan kos yg byk tetapi dlm jgka masa pjg akn memberi faedah serta pulangan kpd rakyat menerusi kegiatan ekonomi yg lebih lancar, kedtgn pelancong asing yg mberi sumber pdptn kpd rakyat, pelabur asing berminat bila ada kemudahan asas, KLCC jd mercu tanda dan ikon kpd Malaysia yg akn memperkenalkn Malysia ke seluruh dunia dan ini pastinya mgalakkan kdtgn lebih ramai pelancong, begitu juga litar sepang. pelan jgkan masa pjg pulak lebih kpd wawasan negara iaitu mcapai matlamat negara maju menjelang 2020. matlamat ini bergantung kpd kejayaan dasar yg dilaksanakan serta projek2 pembangunan yg akn membantu pencapaian matlamat wawasan tersebut. itulah yg terdpt pd kerajaan semasa dibwh kepimpinan TUN Dr.Mahathir yg mjd tonggak kpd kekuatan BN sblm 2004. ini krn rakyat boleh nampak dgn jelas ke mana halatuju yg hendak dibawa oleh barisan kepimpinan negara semenjak hari pertama lagi Tun jd PM kemudian dlm tempoh 5 thn byk asas2 kemajuan telah dibtk walaupun dlm tempoh tersebut krjaan dibwh kepimpinan Tun turut mghadapi situasi getir dlm persaingan politik dan merebut kedudukan. walaupun demikian krjaan ketika bkn saja hanya byk bercakap saja, biarpun berlaku krisis masih mampu juga utk berbuat dan bertindak melaksanakan apa yg dirancang. itulah ciri2 kepimpinan kerajaan yg kuat.
sementara dibwh kepimpinan Pak Lah, permulaannya agak hambar dan dasar yg hendak dibtknya awal2 lagi sudah tidak nampak relevan dan sukar utk dilaksanakan dgn baik. dasar membasmi rasuah, dasar Islam Hadhari, bagaimana sekiranya rasuah itu dilakukan oleh pemimpin2 atasan adakah boleh disiasat dan inilah yg mjd mainan pembangkang yg telah melemahkan pemimpin2 BN, Islam Hadhari pulak lebih kpd melabelkan semula Islam spya tidak dilihat sbgai agama yg membw kemunduran dan keganasan, tetapi masalahnya Islam itu tak perlu dilabel semula tetapi penganutnya lah yg perlu diperbetulkan akhlaknya dan perkukuhkan semula pegangan Islamnya. jika mahu umat Islam negara ini dilihat sbgai bgsa yg maju dan berfikiran sederhana maka laksanakan sj usaha utk memperkasakan umat Islam dgn sistem2 ekonomi Islam yg boleh membantu seluruh org Islam, sistem politik musyawarah yg lebih telus dan adil, sistem jaringan sosial yg boleh membentuk akhlak dan disiplin rakyat. tak perlu guna jenama Islam Hadhari, bkn kulit yg nak dilihat tp isinya. Jd, ini dilihat oleh rakyat terutama org Islam sbgai suatu yg tak sepatutnya dibuat krn ia nampak mcm ada kepentingan politik dan pemimpin negara ini seolah2 takut dgn ancaman kuasa besar yg menuduh Islam (tulen) itu punca keganasan, sementara org bkn Islam pula keliru antara Islam Hadhari dgn Islam Tulen, pd pandangan mereka apakah Islam Tulen itu belum ckp sempurna shgga perlu dilabelkan semula. selain itu usaha utk memperbaiki sistem undang2, memperbaiki perkhidmatan polis dan sebagainya, segala itu sebenarnya hanya akn menampakkan kelemahan sekiranya tidak dibuat dgn bijak. rasanya, semua itu tak perlu dijadikan dasar sebaliknya jika hdk perbaiki pun tak perlu nak diheboh2kan krn ia melibatkan perkara yg sgt besar membabitkan intergriti kepimpinan dlm kerajaan yg akan mjd kayu ukur kpd penilaian rakyat terhadap kredibiliti dan akhlak di kalangan pemimpin politik dan pegawai kerajaan. pdedahan ini hanya akn memburukkan keadaan.

Assalamualaikum Tun,
Believe it or not, Paul “Plan B” Krugman, won the nobel prize for economic science this time. I called him the Plan B, because when you changed the currency regime last time, they sent him to make a “constructive engagement”, so that he can lead us back to their system later on. This is just another branding exercise that later on when “they” want to take us for a ride, they can back their argument up with a Nobel prize class argument, especially if Anwar is the one who will do the nodding!
Hope somebody who can evaluate the theory by himself will be at the helm by then.
YES. We need a strong government and strong and visionary leaders.
Malaysia merdeka tahun 1957. Dah lebih 50 tahun. Sama dengan Ghana di Benua Afrika. Kedua-dua negara merdeka dari British. Rakyat Ghana lebihkurang 23 juta. Rakyat Malaysia lebih kurang 25 juta. Life expectancy at birth: Malaysia 73 tahun; Ghana 59 tahun. Literacy: Malaysia 88%; Ghana 58%. GDP per capita (2007 est): Malaysia $14,500; Ghana $1,400. Population below poverty line: Malaysia 5.1% (2002 est.) Ghana 28.5% (2007 est.)** Notes from CIA: The World Factbook.
Kita patut bersyukur dapat mengecapi keamanan dan kedamaian selama ini. Ini adalah kerana pemimpin-pemimpin terdahulu (our founding fathers) mempunyai wawasan. Kerajaan terdahulu (Perikatan dan BN) mempunyai sokongan majoriti sehingga lah bulan Mac 2008 yang mana kerajaan pemerintah telah kalah teruk dan tidak dapat menguasai majoriti. Nak buat apa pun tak boleh. Tengok tv lak, depa asyik bertengkar dalam parlimen.
Kita belajarlah dari sejarah. Kita perlukan keamanan dan kedamaian. Kalau huru-hara apa benda pun tak jadi. Meniaga tak boleh, pergi sekolah pun tak boleh, nak minum teh tarik pun boleh, nak pegi head banging pun tak boleh. Isu-isu semasa semua nya menyentuh perkauman, ugama. Rakyat jadi takut. Nak pi raya pun takut sebab depa buat kecoh kat rumah terbuka. Mana punya budaya depa ikut???
Pada zaman Tun, depa cakap apa pun kami tak takut sebab kami tahu Tun akan memastikan rakyat dapat hidup aman damai.
Janganlah sebab kami diam, depa nak pijak kepala kami.
Tak boleh macam tu.
TUN,
ITU PAK LAH BAPAK DEMOKRASI ?
KEPALA BAPAK DIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t think anybody’s in a better position to give Iceland advice than you, Dr Tun. You’d be remembered in Iceland on par with its ancient viking war legends.
Dear tun,
Malaysia where r u heading now?DOOM?Because of Laziness and NEP!
I know it’s none of your concern, and yes Iceland is a white country, but it’s about to get eaten up by the IMF, sued by Britain, and a whole lot of other stuff. It’s a small and peaceful place, far away from the rest of Europe. It used to be one of the best places for refugees to go to. But what now?
Dear Tun,
Let us have a bet on the US president. Do you think Obama will be a U.S. president? I don’t think so. How about you?
Najid as a president of UMNO, BN will be defeated in the next election? I agree with you that our country needs a strong government, with strong leadership. Najid does not has the credibility as a leader. As a malaysian chinese, I’m looking forward for the next election.
~ Jack Welch Quotes – Control your destiny or someone else will!
I have a great respect to you on your leadership especially in this multi-racial society.
Thank you.
Salam TUN,
Memikirkan bahawa NAJIB akan menggantikan AAB, saya percaya NAJIB mempunyai KELEMAHANNYA TERSENDIRI. Diharapkan TUN dapat meneruskan kritikan-kritikan terhadap MEREKA yang berkaitan bagi kebaikan BERSAMA. Ulasan TUN sedikit sebanyak mengingatkan NAJIB untuk tidak mengulangi KESILAPAN DAN KELEMAHAN AAB kerana ianya begitu dibenci oleh MASYARAKAT. TUN memberikan kritikan SEBAGAI SEORANG BAPA atas STANDARD seorang NEGARAWAN kepada PEMIMPIN masa kini yang KURANG BERWIBAWA. Biarpun manusia ini mudah lupa namun JASA TUN tiada tolak bandingannya selama ini. Semoga NAJIB melihat kritikan dan cabaran TUN untuk membentuk beliau menjadi seorang yang diingini oleh masyarakat MALAYSIA.
PEMIKIR BORNEO
Dear Tun,
There is no question for the need of a strong government… We need a strong and equally competent, rational, transparent and a very good foresight… your government has a very good foresight… you were stubborn when IMF tried to bully Malaysia into taking the bail out during the Asia crisis was a very good move… The investments into islamic finances was another success story… Shame about the luke warm uptake on the gold dinar- its a brilliant idea but the arabs have got no balls to gamble…..back to the strong government issue…
The question about racial unrest among malaysian i think is due to several things…
1. The bedrock of it all, our education system… While it is true and easier for commerce etc, all malaysians need to have an understanding in the major languages of other race- mandarin and tamil… we also need ‘racial relations’ study about each other… the reasons for prejudice between us is no other than feeling alienated by each other… unknown is a great cause of anxiety and familiarisation would introduce harmony….
2. equal opporttunity. while DEB etc. are still needed, we need to have a more open, and competitive market between us…I AM NOT SUGGESTING A REVAMP ON THE MALAYS SPECIAL RIGHTS… but i think if we can drive down corruption, the government will have increase in revenues and this can be funneled through to inter racial economic projects…
3. equal bite of the economic pie… The nobel peace prize winner shimon peres in one of his analysis thought that the reason why there is so much dissent among paletinian is the underlying profoundly depressing economy state of the palestinians… to give them opportunity would divert their attention to something else…(what the ef*** **** are they going to do with all the sanctions they are under? but hey, it was mr peres’ idea, the israelis dont totally agree with him on this one)…. The fact that the ‘friendly neighbour’ believe in killing women and children is another matter, but in relation to what we are discussing, it supports the point….
3. of course, you can’t have freedom without some boundaries… these needs to respected….
nevertheless, a good and responsible government is a sine qua non to cultivate a better economy and inter racial relations… right now, its the UMNO’s intra relations that needs to be addressed…
This is just a suggestion Tun… Allah knows best…
Dearest YABhg Tun Dr Mahathir,
I read your oustanding review of the current political situation in our beloved country with total agreement. The leader of the the country says it all, a weak leader can only lead the country to destruction in all aspects of social and economic functions. It is very sad and disheartening that such a scenario is befalling the country now.
What is more appalling are the situation is seized by the irresponsible de facto opposition leader, some racially inclined NGOs, political leaders and what have we here, to drive the country into chaos and uncertainties.
During your time as the Prime Minister, you laid the vision and leadership for not only the industries captains to follow but indirectly the whole nation to look forward to. That’s why the economiy is robust and alive. But today, sadly the only vision is for the leader to create own wealth through mismanaging the people’s coffer. The same goes in its drive to realise political ambitions for its own future ambitions.
At present, the inflation rate is slowly eating away our savings and income. Life is getting tougher to tolerate and everyday in the MSM, we are told the economy is doing well. But is it really?
The present leader should forget those stupid judicial, hadhari etc reforms, the priority now should be economic reform.
If the people are not economically stable, forget about racial stability, especially since we are multiracial country.
Yes Tun, we do need a strong government. The government should afraid of the people, and not vice versa. Therefore to have a very strong goverment to the beneficial of the people, we also need a strong opposition. Like now we have a strong opposition, thats make goverment become more becareful in anything they want to do.
KEBIADABAN HINDRAF (haram).
Entah mana silapnya, tak siapa yang tahu. Barangkali yang lebih arif ialah mereka yang menggelarkan diri mereka pejuang hindu, Barisan Bertindak Hak-Hak Hindu (Hindraf). Mereka pasti tahu kerana mereka dari kalangan yang tampil kehadapan melakukan kerja yang orang tak pernah buat.
Kenapa mereka ni begitu berani dan biadap? Saya rasa ini kita boleh jawap. Pertama nya kerana mereka sudah âmueâ atau naik muka. Naik muka kerana mereka ni diberi muka oleh Perdana Menteri sendiri. Malah tiada tindakan tepat diambil.
Selepas tahun 2004, bila saja BN menang 90% undi melalu Pilihanraya Umum ke 11, Yang Amat Berhormat Perdana Menteri atas nama keterbukaan memberi laluan kepada sesiapa saja untuk membincangkan isu-isu sensetif waima isu 121 dan 153.
Bila PM memberikan jawapan yang DAP dan MCA boleh bincang perkara ini, saya beritahu rakan-rakan termasuk Setiausaha Politik beliau bahawa kita telah membuka satu âsafety valveâ yang sangat penting dan sensetif untuk terus di cerobohi di masa akan datang.
Ekoran dari kenyataan itu maka ramai lah ahli Parlimen membincangkan perkara ini secara terbuka baik dari kalangan pembangkang maupun dari kalangan komponen Barisan Nasional sendiri.
Pemimpin Melayu dari UMNO bermati-matian mempertahankan Konsep Ketuanan Melayu, Bahasa Melayu, kedudukan Raja-Raja Melayu dan hak keistimewaan bumiputera. Manakala pemimpin PAS dengan teliti menghentam apa yang dipertahankan oleh UMNO. Jelas menunjukkan pemimpin PAS sedang cuba meninjau keuntungan politik. Atau dengan lain perkataan pemimpin PAS juga adalah dari kalangan âopportunistâ.
Pemimpin DAP memulakan kempen kebencian masyarakat Cina terhadap pemerintah, UMNO dan orang Melayu.
Manakala rakan-rakan komponen BN dari kalangan masyarakat Cina tidak berbuat apa-apa menjelaskan isu ini.
Di ketika ini lah masyarakat India di gunapakai oleh pemimpin keadilan untuk kepentingan politik Anwar Ibrahim.
Apabila Kerajaan gagal menangani Hindraf, MIC pun dibenci oleh orang India, maka Kerajaan mau tidak mau ada sedikit tunduk kepada mereka ini. Kita seolah-olah gagal melihat bahawa Hindraf ialah mainan politik orang India dan kebetulan Anwar Ibrahim jadi pak sanggup menunggangi mereka. Itu senario tahun 2004.
Kini, bila pembangkang yang juga dianggotai oleh mereka yang terbabit dengan Hidraf kelihatan bertempat dan menduduki beberapa kerusi parlimen dan Dewan Undangan Negeri DUN, puak-puak India ini semakin menunjukkan garang mereka walau pun dalam bentuk yang sangat tidak bermoral dan biadap.
Di seluruh negara orang Melayu sangat marah dan kecewa dengan sikap segelintir masyarakat India yang berada dalam pertubuhan HARAM ini. Saya melihat masyarakat peribumi wajib merasa tersinggung dengan sesiapa saja yang cuba memperlekehkan agama dan adat istiadat bangsa Melayu.
Melayu dikenali sangat toleran. Dari zaman Kerajaan Melayu Melaka lagi Melayu sudah mengamalkan semangat kasih sayang dan hormat menghormati terhadap pedagang dan mualim dari benua keling dan juga parsi serta Cina. Melayu di Tanah Melayu ini sangat di ketahui umum sebagai bangsa yang beradab. Ironi nya mereka yang datang dari benua Cina dan benua Keling ketika itu bijak menyesuaikan diri dalam masyarakat Melayu.
Tapi itu dulu. Bila mereka sudah ramai dan mempunyai kelyakan seperti doktor, peguam dan pedagang nampaknya lagak mereka mula berubah. Mereka meniru niru lagak lagak pelakon dalam filem keluaran benua India. Tiada lagi rasa sopan dan hormat menghormati.
Kemuncaknya Abdullah Badawi dan pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO menjadi cabaran dan tumpuan kebiadapan mereka ini.
Apakah tindakan kita.
Sebenar nya HINDRAF sebagai pertubuhan haram tidak perlu di layan. Pertubuhan lain masih banyak malah MIC masih ujud. Kalau barangkali MIC tidak berkesan, ianya bukan salah Barisan Nasional atau Perdana Menteri. Pemimpin MIC harus di tukar. Ini tanggung jawab orang-orang India keseluruhan nya.
Mereka yang menyalahgunakan demokrasi dan melanggar akta ketenteraman awam mesti di ambil tindakan segera. Jangan biarkan api dalam sekam yang akan membakar seluruh negara.
Sebanyak duapuluh lima negara masih menggunakan akta seperti ISA. Dimana silapnya kita menggunakan ISA? Apakah selepas negara hancur dan pertumpahan darah serta ekonomi hancur baru tindakan wajar diambil.
Dalam masyarakat majmuk seperti Malaysia, tindakan mencegah jauh lebih baik dari mengambil tindakan selepas berlaku nya petaka.
Pendekkan cerita, budak-budak dan samseng-samseng yang sedikit ini yang terbabit dengan sikap kurang ajar dan biadap ini harus diingatkan bahawa agama baik Islam, Budha malah Hindu tidak mengajar penganutnya kurang ajar. Kelemahan manusia yang menjadikan mereka biadap.
Oleh kerana mereka ini nama nya manusia, satu bentuk pengajaran wajib di buat. Atas nama kasih sayang dan pendidikan, yang di tahan terus di tahan, malah yang di luar ini yang merosakkan keharmonian dan keselamatan juga wajar diambil tindakan segera.
Kalau mereka merasa bongkak konon nya ada Anwar Ibrahim yang membela mereka sehingga sanggup mendirikan âpatung berhalaâ baru di Batu Caves, mereka adalah dalam keadaan tertipu. Kenali Anwar dan anda akan lari meninggalkan nya.
Melayu melalui UMNO hendak lah meperkukuhkan diri. Eratkan perpaduan dan ukhuwah dalam UMNO. Pemuda jangan hilangkan taring dan bisanya. Soal diri sendiri. Dimana laongan langkah mayat pemuda……
Kepada orang-orang Melayu sama ada dalam PAS, UMNO atau mana-mana aje diminta terus bersabar. Tetapi pastikan hadnya tidak melebihi adat. Kepada rakan-rakan orang-orang India juga di harap terus bersabar dengan orang India sendiri. Kemarahan anda kepada segelintir masyarakat India akan memburukan keadaan. Orang Cina pula jangan babitkan diri mengambil kesempatan.
Tentu tidak manis kalau kita pula ke Batu Caves pada hari Deepavali secara berkumpulan membawa sepanduk menuntut agar HINDRAF di beri pengajaran, diharamkan dan dinyahkan. Tentu ini akan mencemarkan sambutan Deepavali. Jangan lah pendekkan daya pemikiran kamu wahai rakan-rakan pertubuhan haram ini.
Sementara itu ahli-ahli HINDRAF digesa tinggalkan pertubuhan HARAM ini. Anda sedang bermain api yang akan membakar diri. Tali yang ada juga akan melilit lihir sendiri.
Berwaspada lah.
Salam Takzim Tun,
Our country is sick. As a doctor ,your article is a diagnosis.But our leaders refuse or reckless in recognising the symptoms and make strenuous efforts to find cure for the disease: economic dooms day!!
Then ordinary rakyats are going to suffer. The leaders and rich people will still continue to have their beef steaks and KFC.
There will be a revolt, ala The French Revolution.
It is interesting to see who are at the KLIA to take flight to the UK, Australia…..
Hang Kasturi
Salam TUN,
Selama ini keadaan politik dan ekonomi di MALAYSIA tidak menentu. Kemenangan tidak bermaksud MENANG jika AAB dapat menterjemahkan erti KEMENANGAN yang sebenarnya. Saya merasakan AAB dan KABINET KERAJAAN selama ini GAGAL melihat dengan mata dan hati erti KEMENANGAN SEBENAR.
Apabila PILIHANRAYA berlalu dengan kemenangan BN dengan populariti MENURUN namun masih layak MEMERINTAH hanya kerana PEMBANGKANG hanya kurang sedikit mengatasi parti pemerintah sekarang ini. Pimpinan AAB satu CONTOH KEGAGALAN yang sangat jelas selama ini dan LANGSUNG tidak dapat memainkan PERANAN yang diingini oleh BANGSA PELBAGAI KAUM. KEMENANGAN yang diperolehi dalam PRU12 membawa maksud TERSIRAT dan saya tidak mempunyai keyakinan dengan KERAJAAN pimpinan AAB dapat mengharungi pergolakan di MALAYSIA.
LOW STANDARD- itulah yang RAKYAT lihat dalam setiap tindakan dan ulasan pihak KERAJAAN menangani masalah dewasa ini. Jika diterjemahkan sememangnya kesalahan terletak kepada PM yang begitu LEMAH..LEMAH..LEMAH sekali dalam menerajui bangsa BERBILANG KAUM. AAB masih jauh untuk dikatakan LAYAK jika diukur dari semula beliau menjadi PM. Ulasan TUN sangat BERMAKNA kepada namanya PEMIMPIN kerana ianya memperlihatkan banyak PERKARA yang KERAJAAN buat selama ini LEMAH dalam semua segi.
RAKYAT sememangnya ingin melihat seorang PEMIMPIN yang bukan sahaja BIJAK dalam menangani ISU-ISU DALAM DAN LUAR NEGARA tetapi seorang pemimpin yang boleh DIBANGGAKAN disetiap pelosok NEGARA MALAYSIA. Jika NAJIB dapat memperbaiki keadaan di NEGARA ini dalam pelbagai ASPEK selepas pengunduran AAB ingin sekali RAKYAT melihat beliau tidak terlibat dengan KRONI serta memainkan peranan SEBAGAI PM untuk semua bangsa walaupun dia BANGSA MELAYU. Saya ingin menghuraikan disini bahawa KRONI DAN KELUARGA patut dielakkan daripada campurtangan dan terlibat dengan POLITIK bagi seorang PM atau KETUA MENTERI. Namun sesetengah PM mengambil kesempatan itu untuk kepentingan tertentu dan ANAK MENANTU yang mengejar cita-cita peribadinya sangat MELUAT DI MATA MASYARAKAT.

Salam Tun yang dikasihi!
Sebab tu ada pepatah berbunyi ‘SEPERTI BELANDA DAPAT TANAH’ atau ‘BAGI BETIS NAK PEHA’. Sifat tamak, cemburu, iri hati, tak boleh nampak orang lebih dari kita…. padahal kita ni semua sama. Tumpang cari rezeki kat bumi Allah sebelu DIA panggil kita balik.
Rezeki kita yang mutlak ialah apa yang telah kita makan pada hari ini. Yang belum masuk perut jangan sekali-kali perasan rezeki kita.
Walaupun beras bergudang, harta tinggi menggunung…
JADILAH PEMIMPIN YANG ADIL KEPADA SEMUA! Tak kiralah yang dipimpin tu Islam atau bukan sebab KEWAJIPAN pemimpin adalah melindungi masyarkat yang dipimpin.
JANGAN niat berpolitik sebab nak KUMPUL HARTA! KUMPUL HARTA banyak-banyak sebelum berpolitik supaya tak GELAP MATA. Takut nanti akibat harta yang dikumpul itu sebenarnya HAK orang lain, kubur kita jadi GELAP.
PADA TUHAN KAMU, ADA HAK KEATAS KAMU
PADA AHLI KELUARGA KAMU, ADA HAK KEATAS KAMU
PADA SAUDARA KAMU, ADA HAK KEATAS KAMU
MAKA TUNAIKANLAH SETIAP HAK ITU AKAN HAKNYA.
Semoga Tun sentiasa sihat untuk terus beribadah kpd Allah dan sebagai motivator kpd seluruh manusia!
Barkath Salamat!
ALUN.
This is the trouble with sudden freedom. It is akin to letting the inmates take over the prison.
Or kids in a toy shop? Or could it be rats in a gunny sack of rice?
The blame should go to Pak Lah for the wrong timing in releasing the ungrateful Anwar.
If the release was done a few weeks before the last election, Pak Lah would have won hands down once again and could still be comfortably hold office.
Too bad…. the premature release back fired and the ‘rear admiral’ is coming through the back door!
Here’s another opinion :
This crony and nepotism issue is an outdated topic.
How can you run a business without a team? Surely you would not run a business with your enemies? So, how do you draw the line?
If you look at the Pakatan team, they are also a bunch of cronies grouped together, but no their followers do not see it that way.
Would you expect Najib to appoint his enemies to man the cash till? Only a fool foolish enough would do so.
So, lets not be hypocritical about this outdated crony and nepotism issue and let the man run his own show with his own trusted team.
The rakyat can voice their approval or otherwise at the next ballot. The opposition cronies are there to keep the governing cronies in check.
A GOOD MAN DOES NOTHING.

Yes, we does indeed need a very strong government to take helm of this country!
remember BN under your leadership .., which is strong and functional, although it’s not 100% perfect.. but it brings stability and prosperity to all walk of life. Chinese are happy building their wealth through their business, malays are happy doing their part for the nation be it in govt. sector, private or business. Indian are also happy with their ‘world’.. – work is aplenty.., people are not complaining.
hope fully, things can turn back to where it used to be. We we can all sit back after work enjoying teh tarik over the mamak stall and talk about friendship not racial or politics thing..
keep writing tun..!
Assalamualaikum Tok Det…
I know i’m not d first to comment here.. but i just wanna let u know… U’ve been sooo strong for the last 22 years ago! N still it remains..

Tun,
Apa yang Tun katakan betui belaka.. Tambahan untuk negara seperti Malaysia… Sangat memerlukan kerajaan yang kuat untuk menghalang masalah antara perkauman…
Nasib baiklah Paklah mau turun….
YABhg. Tun,
Im fully agree with u. When u were in power, u can command & control. Though many criticised u being a ‘dictator’, but thats how it should be. Not dictator i would say, but u were a firm & strong leader, who can command. During ur tenure as PM, u led a strong government. Hardly i see any racial problems, bickering and all. Even if there was, it is not as bad like today.
Thank u Tun. Have a nice day. Take care & God bless.
Tun,
i believe you are not only a true leader but a progressive malay thinker… pak lah better to go now. najib could definitely do a better job than pak lah…
Assalammualaikom wbt,
Benar, negara semacam kita Malaysia ni memerlukan kerajaan yang kuat sama sepertitempuh tun dulu.
Bila tiba tiba dapat 90 peratus undi kita jadi merak dan bila bercakap tentang kepimpinan kita ungkit bahawa ‘saya diberi rakyat 90%’. Kemudian bila ada perbincangan isu 121 dan 153 di Parlimen kita jawab, ‘tak apa lah nanti kita bincang. biar mereka berikan pandangan’. Maka ini lah akibatnya menyebabkan ramai yang tak berapa segan silu malah biadap dan kurang ajar membicarakan termasuk suruhsenyapkan pembesar suara masjid.
Kenapa ini terjadi kerana dan keris tidak belajar berkeris, ada parang simpan bawah tilam, ada merian simpan dan gosok saja. Bila Kerajaan kuat, pemimpin mesti smart, bijak dan TANGKAS.
MUKHRIZ, anak Tun nampaknya ada upaya dan kesungguhan. Saya tak fikir Kj beri wang kepada mereka yang mencalonkan nya. Takkan lah KJ teruk sangat. Dia ni pun smart juga. Tetapi gesaan saya cukup mudah. Kata orang lama:
Pilih pilih tempat nak mandi,
Pertama teluk kedua pantai,
Pilih pilih tempat menjadi,
Pertama elok kedua pandai.
Berburu ke padang datar
Dapat rusa berbelang kaki
Berguru kepalang ajar
Bagai bunga kembang tak jadi
Antara kedua nya untuk dijadikan tokoh penggerak zaman, pemuda penyambung perjuangan MM punya latar belakang yang lebih menarik dan komitted. Atas nama demokrasi teruskan perjuangan anak2 muda melangsungkan MM sebagai Ketua Pemuda UMNO Malaysia yang lebih tangkas dan berhemah.
Terima kasih tun. Take care.
TOK YEM.
Salam Sejahtera Tun,
Memang saya setuju sesangat nya…! Dengan apa yg di perkatakan oleh Tun..!!
On that note’s.. I do hope PPP President..Datuk Kayveas please do take note too…!!!
Rakyat Taiping dan Daerah Bkt.Gantang…sudah pun REJECT dia dan kaum kerabat dia..!!
Bila tiba PRU13 akan datang…dimana ke pula dia nak berTENGGEK…??
Datuk Kayveas,PPP dan yg seangkatan dgn nya tu..PERLU lah faham betul-betul mesej Yg.Bhg.Tun sampaikan di atas ..!!
Sekian dari Larut Tin Teypin…Wassalam.
Salam Tun,
This is my 3rd time commenting in this blog. Tak pernah Tun approved,kan. Sedih jugak rasanya. Anyway, hopefully kali ni terlepas.
Tun yang dikasihi,
Masalahnya sekarang ialah PakLah dan kerajaannya cuba untuk menjadi transparent dalam segala aspek yang dia buat. Cuba untuk menjadi jujur dan telus. Its good actually but sometimes too kind is not so good.
Misalnya, adakah baik sekiranya seorang isteri yang pernah diro*ol menceritakan segala kisah hitamnya itu pada bakal suaminya atas alasan JUJUR dan TELUS? Berapa ramaikah lelaki “soleh” yang sanggup memperisterikan wanita yang pernah mengaku dirogol? Di sinilah perlunya PERTIMBANGAN dalam membuat keputusan yang JUJUR dan TELUS. Kan dah ada Al-Quran, Hadis dan ulama`. Ikut saja warisan Nabi SAW tu. Bukannya JUJUR dan TELUS secara membuta tuli seperti yang PakLah lakukan.
Dalam masyarakat berbilang kaum, sudah pasti banyak isu yang tidak boleh diperbincangkan secara terbuka dan diberitahu pada ramai orang. Dan sudah pasti ada orang tertentu yang mesti menelan pahit hempedu dalam usaha untuk memperolehi madu.
Dan luckily, negara kita menjadikan agama Islam sebagai agama rasmi di dalam perlembagaannya. Jadi apa susah2? Just follow the rules of Islam. Dan jgn pulak terlalu ekstrem sampai orang nmpk Islam itu sebagai agama permusuhan. Islam is harmony. Islam is a peaceful. Islam is a justice. Just blend it nicely into our multi-racial country.
Sekilas teringat kisah “Telaga Ryan” – seorang kanak2 kulit putih dan bukan beragama Islam yang berjuang untuk membina sebuah telaga di negara Afrika yang penduduknya berkulit hitam legam dan berlainan agamanya. Budak ini berlaku JUJUR dan TELUS tanpa mengira warna kulit, agama dan negara. Bukan juga kerana kepentingan politik atau wang ringgit. Tapi semuanya dilakukan kerana belas ehsan dari hati nurani seorang kanak2. Bukankah ini sifat yang seharusnya ada pada seorang Islam?
To PakLah or “MrNiCeGuy”, jangan jadikan kebaikan anda itu satu kelemahan. Gunakanlah akal. Buat pertimbangan sebaik2nya. Dengarlah pendapat akar umbi. Jangan bermusuh tapi berkawanlah dengan orang yang :
1. Tak suka buang masa main golf terkejar2 sebiji bola dari pagi sampai ke malam
2. Hobinya utamanya menunggang kuda (sunnah Nabi ni)
3. Berhenti makan sebelum kenyang (ni pun sunnah Nabi juga)
4. Apabila ketawa tak pernah nampak anak tekak (ni sunnah juga).
***Hishamuddin Aun (pengarang BH) pernah kutuk Tun pasal isu ketawa dalam kolum dia. Tak cukup ilmu agaknya mamat ni.
Siapakah orangnya?
Tun Mahathir lah!!
PakLah, cukuplah 1 HangTuah dalam sejarah negara. Jujur tak bertempat, menyanjung Sultan, adinda Jebat yang diratah.
Semoga Tun panjang usia dan sihat tubuh badan
Tun,
what u said was undeniably true.. The society nowadays even in smallest of number are able to threat the government.. in anything! Opposition party is greatly playing with sensitive issues to weaken the Government even more..
UiTM’s case as example, threatening Malay rights and further proving the Government’s incapability of standing out.
Dearest Tun,
Those who blindly believe in the rule of law will never agree with what i have to say. Too much of democracy is bad in a multi racial society. The right to public demonstration to freely express individual dissatisfaction cannot be tolerated in a multi racial society. If we allow this to happen, it is akin to a time bomb waiting to explode. What do we see now? Lawyers marching, Hindraf members taking to the streets, Lina joy’s case being given wide publicity, Islamic NGO’s halting public forums. Are these acts to be condonned in the name of democracy. It may be fine within the western sphere, but not in Malaysia. What is the use of being labelled as true practioners of democracy admist burning cars, looting and poverty. Have never agreed with the concept of the ” white mans burden”. The west practices double standards yet they come out with phrases such as “what is good for the goose must be good for the gander”. what hypocrisy. And there are those who believe that Queen Elizabeth will come running in a shining armour as their guardian angel.
Many have labelled you a dictator? So well and good. But in all fairness to you, never did we experience then, so much dissent as we see today which can be frightening in view of our racial composition. These forms of street demonstrations must be curtailed and stopped by all who truly loves Malaysia.Mind you even the native orang asli”s have taken to the streets. You were able to curtail demonstrations at the expense of your popularity taking a dive internationally. You did not seem to be unduly perturbed by it. Congrats. Anyway as Dale Carnegie said in his writtings ” no one ever kicks a dead dog”. We need a strong goverment, no doubt about it. Barisan Nasional is the better of all evil. I rather deal with the devil i know then the angel i dont. I consider you a National Hero. I think that it is time for all factions to unite for the sake of this country. You Tun, must see to it. Many rest their hopes on you. May Allah grant you a long life. I admire what you once said ” it does not matter how i am remembered”. You will always be remembered as a person who rather be feared than loved. it has worked well in our system for 22 years.
Wasallam
I really hate it when there are forums and talks discussing the world economy downturn and kept saying that our country is very strong and stable in context of economy and economy crisis wont have much effect on us. TOTAL RUBBISH!Who do they think they’re trying to fool. When will all this lies stop!
People take for granted when you are in power Tun. People keep saying that during your time the corruption were high and they were lies everywhere. I’m guilty as charged as well. However, now everything just open up my eyes. How the condition is just better when you are the PM. Corruption level suppressed and lies?..What lies?.
It just kills me to see this government bunch play the fool on Malaysian. How I wish I could just give them a piece of my mind. Reality Check!Wake Up!
Salam Tun..
Miss your leadership.. Miss the time when you’re our PM.. Yes i’m proud of you.. I was suprised that even my Bangladeshi housemate mentioned about you. She said you’re a great PM. Even the outsiders respect you. Especially Muslims from other countries.
So sad that there are people who spread lies about you. Saying things that arent true.
God knows.. InsyaAllah..
Assalamulaikum Ayahanda Tun.
Harap ayahanda Tun sentiasa dalam keadaan sihat sejahtera selalu.
Sangat bersetuju dgn pendapat ayahanda Tun.
Apa pendapat tun dengan gandingan Dato’ Najib bersama Dato Ali Rustam sebagai TPM?
Bagi pendapat sy DAR juga merupakan pemimpin yang berwibawa dan lebih dekat dan memahami jiwa generasi muda.
PRU yg lepas sedikit sbyk dipengaruhi oleh generasi muda yang cendenrung kepada maklumat dari sumber terbuka seperti internet dlm membuat keputusan membuang undi.
Jadi mungkinkah DAR boleh menandingi DMY untuk kerusi org ke-2 dlm negara Malaysia??
Boleh berikan pandangan dan pendapat Tun mengenai beliau sepanjang beliau di bawah pemerintahan Tun??
Sy juga bersetuju dgn cadangan beliau (DAR) untuk mewujudkan satu badan penasihat kepada UMNO di mana bekas2 pemimpin yang telah byk berjasa untuk memberikan nasihat dan pandagan.
Jika idea itu terlaksana mungkin perkara seperti pembatalan projek jambatan bengkok yang merugikan berjuta duit rakyat tidak akan berlaku.
Tahniah juga diucapkan kepada Kekanda Dato Mukhriz di atas kejayaan beliau memenangi pencalonan untuk pertandingan KP.
Kami akan mendoakan kejayaan beliau.
Insyaallah, Allah s.w.t akan sentiasa bersama mereka yang benar.
Amin.

Dear Tun,
As grave as it sounds,all the elements of a situation of civil disobedience is right here waiting to happen.
The uncertain economic lashing that has and will hit us further and the nervous socio political environment are all waiting to explode.
The government’s opaque view of the situation and with all the Governing parties having their internal elections leaves NOBODY to look at the NATION.
I propose a convention of all political parties in this country,whether in power or not to come together to meet and be briefed of the grave situation we are in. Let us get them all in one page as every body is in politics to serve what each and everyone of them think is right for the country.
I propose that all elderly statesmen alive headed by your goodself initiate this gathering so that it will be treated seriously and with respect.
STOP THIS INERTIA.
Dear TDM,
It is not about a powerful government and a competent leadership that we need in multi-racial country like Malaysia. What we need is a caring government and a corrupt free leadership. This will automatically give rise to super duper strong government and well respected and well received leadership. The rakyat will unite to support the government and its leader, naturally. A country can never go wrong with this type of leadership. We have witnessed powerful leadership and strong government in Thailand, eg.Takhsin, Suharto in Indonesia, all were overthrowned. Powerful president in Egypt has resulted in authoritarian leadership, making use of police force, army and the underworld policing to control the population.
We have witnessed many and seen many examples throughout the world powerful government, less competent and well competent leadership, and about average leaders all failed to lead the country to unite the multiracial rakyat. Let us see Singapore. A powerful government, competent leadership and a caring government plus a corrupt free leadership has brought the nation to its pinnacle. Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, is set to put his nation as untouchable from the American ‘rule and aggression’ because his government is rakyat friendly and a just government. Morales of Bolivia is another example in the making, and the recent uprising is only due to American interference.
A leader must be consistent in everything; morale, corruption free, power abuse free, from his younger days to his wisdom age. Then only he can govern the government to produce a powerful government and being a competent leadership.
Leades by many start off well and later turned corrupt, they are many examples for us to see. They are very competent but turn authoritarian. In Malaysia, we have seen and experienced that scenerio.
America is at the verge of having a black president,’an unthinkable scenario and an unacceptable happening’ to some Americans but not to the majority Americans. Why? It is because he is about to deliver an economic and humane package of a caring government and a leader who is free from everything negative that you can think of. He is going to govern a population of diverse ethinics, religious beliefs and far bigger than that of the multiracial Malaysia per se.
We too can have a LEADER of any racial background and religious belief if he/she is consistent in all the above mention qualities and will lead the country by example. Why not? They are a few malays and a chinese out there that fit the bill. Only time will tell.
I do agree with you. A strong goverment is needed to handle the pressure of governing multi racial countries. We cannot have a goverment that is weak and incapable in making the right decision. Human tends to ask for more. No matter what kind of races or religious. Thus, to have a stable goverment is good so that people will obey and make less noise. Noise is good too , however unnecessary noise which the main agenda is only to stir racist problem among the people should be put on halt immediately.
we must be strong.tk boleh sekadar kuat cukup-cukup makan ajer. we cant afford to have an unstable goverment anymore.
Congrats to ur son!Am rooting for him.
Mr & Mrs Imran
salam TUN….
if not of your age & health condition i would be on my knee begging you to lead us again…May Allah Bless you & your family..
TOTALLY AGREED WITH TUN. WE MUST HAVE A STRONG GOVERMENT WITH HIGHLY CALIBRE LEADERS,THEREFORE WITH SUCH WEAK LEADERS IN THE CURRENT BN GOVERMENT ,THUS ALL OF US MALAYSIAN SHOULD GIVE 100% SUPPORT TO PAKATAN RAKYAT WHICH DEFINETELY HAVE HIGHER CALIBRE LEADERS APART FROM CORRUPTION FREE RECORDS. IMAGINE GIVING OUR SUPPORT TO BN AND HAVING MIKE TYSON AS DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER, MALAYSIA WILL BE SUCKED HIGH AND DRY !!! WHEN PAKATAN RAKYAT HAVE ABSOLUTE POWER, PEOPLE LIKE AHMAD ISMAIL WILL NOT DARE TO UTTER SENSITIVE MATTERS BECOS HE WILL BE LOCKED UP IN ISA !!! SEE WHEN BN IS RULING AHMAD ISMAIL IS NOT AFRAID BECOS HE KNOWS HIS WEAK BOSS WILL APOLOGIES TO PACIFY THE NON MALAYS AND THE WORST HOME MINISTER IN THE WORLD WILL ARREST THE ONE WHO REPORTED IT INSTEAD OF THE ONE SAYING IT IN ORDER TO PACIFY THE MALAYS. WITH ALL THESE JOKERS IN BN ,ISNT IT DANGEROUS TO MAKE THEM A STRONGER GOVERMENT ??? IN OTHER WORDS -STRONG GOVERMENT YES BUT NOT NECCESSARY IS BN.
Salam Tun,
1. Indeed a strong government is needed to implement policy for the greater good. Some policies could be unpopular as it might have short term loss but would gain over the long haul. A strong parliment is also important to check on the executive branch of the government – the civil servant who without checking could also abuse the power entrusted to them. A weak government would be too busy trying to please everyone and as a result a lot of long term good policies could not be properly implemented.
2. Yet there is lesson to be learned here, the non Malays had always voted for BN for the sake development as you so aptly put, only a strong government could properly bring about development. But you see the non malays know that a strong government meaning Umno will be free to implement nep freely often as the expense of the non malays. Yet in the past they have always voted for a strong government. But alas, the mandate and sacrifies of the non malays has always been taken for granted and today the majority of the rakyat malays, chinese and Indian think that the BN money politics is destroying our country.
3. The ruling class has been abusing the mandate given to them by the rakyat, as they are enriching themselves in such arrogant and unabash manners.
4. All BN politician, including the Dap has been playing the racial card for political mileage. For Umno the racial card is also a heaven given ticket to MASSIVELY enrich themselves. Why should the rakyat give a strong mandate for such government?
5. If the ruling party ever manage to obtain a strong mandate again from the rakyat in future. I hope they will not be arrogant any more. I hope they will not take the non malay votes for granted. I hope they will not play the racial card for political mileage. I hope they will govern the country with sincerity. I do hope that they will ensure wealth is more widely distributed regardless of race. I do hope I am not dreaming in saying the above.
6. Tun, I think you are one of the best PM we had had. During your time you had a strong government and you rule with an iron fist, to get things done. And things were done fast and efficiently or the implementor will face your wrath. But I humbly do not agree with the way you handle our judicial and the way you handle the press and the way you use ISA. But luckily you are a very intelligent and visionary leaders. And you truly wanted Malaysia to progress. And because there is no alternative government that can offer the same , I have always voted for you.
7. But Tun, imagine if there is another strong leader like yourself with a strong government, with absolute power over judicial and executive branch especially the police force and the leader care little for the country and greater good. Such powerful leader could also wreak the country totally in the span of 4 years. For all the positive agenda that a strong government could bring about, there could also be more distructive and selfish agenda.
Assalamualaikum Tun,
I agree with you Tun. The current government needs an internal revamp.The PRU 12 is the waking call for all. It has opened many doors of oppurtunity that were closed for many years be those oppurtunities good or bad(more bad then good).From a hollistic view it looks like the BN government has fallen off it’s bicycle bigtime and needs to get back on it’s wheels and avoid such politcal pot holes to continue with it’s journey for 2020 and beyond. I believe BN on paper is such a marvelous and worldclass Government but when the wrong person is in the drivers seat…all chaos breaks out. It is like giving a bus driver a 777 and hoping that he can fly it and bring all the passengers safetly around which is impossible. The only way is to replace the gardener who has let the politcal weeds of destruction grow in Malaysia’s beautiful gardens of harmony. I for one believe with the correct people at the helm Malaysia can once again flourish…BN can get back on its mighty bicycle and the new gardener and gardeners to come must ensure that the politcal weeds of destruction are always trimmed before they mess up the whole garden of Malaysian harmony. All in all the harmonious multiracial factor is what beautifies our Nation and it is very key to defend this factor without it all that we have fought for and have achieved will just become another documented history of failure. I hope all of us Malaysians Dear Tun will start getting off our laurels and take charge and have an inquisitive mindset about what is happening around us and it is important that we do something about it instead of just talking. Action speaks louder then words is the saying. May Allah bless you Tun you have been a very good Gardener you have weathered Malaysians through many storms during your 20 year tenure. I miss you being in action Tun defending our realm. I hope you can write a book about Malaysia beyond 2020 because your thoughts always inspire people.
Assalamualaikum Ayahnda,
I hope that your advise will help bring back strong leadership,
clear vision, citizen involvement,
honest and transparent government, smart investment and wise
decision-making. To succeed, government, like those other
management systems, needs a shared vision, inspiring leadership,
uncompromising integrity, intellectual honesty, sound resource
investment and talented, committed people working together.
May we can have again the government that can succeed for all
of us — our children and grandchildren like once on your
leadership before.
From Pmtg Pauh with love & respect

Dear Tun,
I truly believe that a strong government is what we need to ensure stability in this country in terms of economy and social. A strong government not only give confident to foreign potential investors but confidence to its subjects too. Who wouldn’t want a strong government? A government that can satisfy the needs both the rakyat and investors alike. Its all about the feeling of security and everyone’s pursue of prosperity.
“The New Democracy” is crap. A cover-up of poor leadership. There’s nothing new to this. They chose not to bring up these so called racial issues, social contract, religion and what not during your time was because they knew they are going to flare the public with these sentiments and they knew that you will do anything in your power to prevent them from doing damage to the stability and harmony. Present day-do as they wish, nobody bothers. Say anything they like, its the new democracy, the true democracy. The Rakyat-Dear God, deliver us from evil…the weak government.
You have my total agreement regards to the discussed matter. The government has be stable and strong when facing issues related to the different races. But this is not the case, what we see now is A FREE FOR ALL, it started with hindraf and then certain quarters from the UMNO party and as always the opposition party the likes of Lim Kit Siang and Anwar be ever ready to fan the fire to gain momentum and popularity.
FOR BLOGGERS LIKE JJJ AND ADAMJOHARI I WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU 2 GROW UP. AS LONG AS TUN HAS NO ISSUE WITH MY REMARKS, YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS TO SAY ANYTHING. IT IS CLEAR YOU BOTH ARE IMBECILES WITH LITTLE UNDERSTANDING OF FREEDOM OF OPINION. SO SHUT UP AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. EXAMPLE OF PEOPLE THAT CAUSE PROBLEMS AND CREATE SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING.
I HAVE THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR TUN FOR WHAT HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED DURING HIS TENURE. A MAN WITH HIS CALIBRE IS HARD TO FIND NOW A DAYS,BUT IS DOESNT MEAN I HAVE TO AGREE WITH EVERYTHING TUN SAYS. I HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOICE MY OPINIONS AND TUN HAS THE RIGHTS TO REJECT OR ACCEPT THEM.
Salam tok det yang dikasihi dan semua bloggers,
saya setuju dgn tok det. negara yg mempunyai masyarakat majmuk mcm malaysia ni memang memerlukan strong gov. kerajaan yg kuat perlukan strong leader. like you…
persoalannya mcm mana nak ada strong gov sedangkan leader jenis dgr ckp?
saya ambil cth kes tnb. sekarang ni tnb tgh tenat. dah nak bankrap pun. tapi saya pelik kenapa orang tertinggi negara kita tak campur tangan…yang mereka tau setuju utk naikkan tarif…setuju utk naikkan gaji ahli lembaga pengarah…rakyat juga yang tertindas…
tak cukup2 lagi ke duit rewad yang diorang makan. nak naik elaun plak….
penyelewangan sgt besar dalam kes tnb ini. bermula sejak zaman tok det lagi. berlarutan hingga sekarang. tolonglah tok det..bagi komen sikit…
mcm mana kerajaan nak kuat kalau rasuah dan penyelewengan berleluasa dalam pentadbiran kerajaan….lama2 kerajaan akan ranap..
akan tercapaikah wawasan 2020 tanpa elektrik???? renung-renungkanlah….

How to support BN like this?
Salam Ayahnda Tun..
Weak goverment always scare with the opposition party..It proven under Pak Lah administrative now..They would busy to safeguard their butts rather than national economic and security.
Salam Tun,
Well its sound easy like 1234 but you have forget something that 50 years under BN policy(divide and rule) has created the whole mess.We can start acting like everything is Ok and without treating the basic cause.
You can change pak lah to najid and from najib to mukriz and so on.Our fundamental problem is our Mindset.Malaysia is small populate country with vest amount of resorces,but look at our economy in bad shape now=whose fault it’s?Maybe the so call strong Barisan Nasional@UMNO are the one responsible.That’s facts we all have to accept it.
Assalamualaikum YABhg Tun
Mana-mana negara pun memerlukan pemimpin yang kuat dan berkarisma serta tegas.Bukan setakat yang potray diri sebagai Mr Clean dan Pak Imam Besar Hadari.Tak perlu pun yang digelar Bapa Demokrasi pada zahirnya sahaja.Hakikatnya……..??????????? Sy rasa semua orang pun tahu.
Strong leader makes strong Goverment that can cordon whatever happening now.Not a undecisive and uncertain with action taken. Memalukan je dengan tindak tanduk kerajaan kebelakangan ni.Hindraf naik tocang,pembangkang sedap mulut bercakap.
Sy menaruh setinggi harapan agar dua gandingan baru ini dapat memulihkan semula segala blunders/damages yang telah berlaku.Terima kasih pada YABhg Tun dan TSMY yang mencetuskan keadaan yang membuka mata hati dan minda ahli-ahli UMNO.Harap perubahan ini tak akan dipersia-siakan oleh perwakilan UMNO untuk menguatkan parti.Biar orang kata TSMY tu tak setia tp bagi sy dialah yang amat sayangkan UMNO kerana berani menyuarakan kebenaran.I salute u TSMY.Setinggi-tinggi tahniah pada Datuk Mukhriz kerana melepasi halangan awal dan sy berharap perubahan pada kepimpinan Pemuda.
Sama-sama kita doakan pembaharuan yang lama kita impikan.
Sembah salam buat YABhg Tun sekeluarga.Wasallam
Dear Tun,
Gembira mendengar Pak Lah nak turun tahta. Tapi risau pun ada mengingatkan adakah yang menggantikannya lebih baik atau lebih buruk. Pemimpin yang baik amat penting untuk kesejahteraan Malaysia. Cuma janganlah hendaknya pemimpin ini hanya ingin berkuasa dan merasai kesenangan hidup atas keringat rakyat tanpa memikul amanah dengan sebenar-benarnya. Dan paling diharapkan janganlah pemimpin memerintah negara ini mengikut nafsu isteri…
Tun, tolong komen pasal penganugerahan darjah kebesaran dan pingat yang begitu murah sekarang. SHAH RUK KHAN dapat Dato’. Ha ha ha kelakarnya… Asal singgah je di Malaysia dapat gelaran Dato’. Inilah pemimpin yang memimpin Malaysia…
Salam TDM……
Saper kate PAKLAH BAPAK DEMOKRASI……
Dia x layak dpt gelaran itu…..
BAPAK KORUPSI boleh lahhhhhhh……..
Sama sj dgn si KJ….
YAB Tun,
We all know that the root of the problem is weak leadership in the current Government. It is also obvious that leaders in UMNO are the culprits.
First – they are not sincere to lead in the interest of the nation. Most of them all only concerned about their power and how to convert that power into wealth. What else to explain their silence when it was clear that the PM is abusing his power in cases like having his son-in-law in Government meeting for example? How on earth did this PM got away even when he clearly abused his powers??
How can instances like this happened Tun ?? I just cannot understand. These are all learned man entrusted with the responsibility to use the power of governing the nation with integrity. Yet when tested to demonstrate courage and integrity, it was clear that they failed.
Second – UMNO do not have many credible and sincere leaders in its rank. Those who are vying for positions are those with wealth as their major credential. How can this a credible indicator of a potential leader? UMNO does not have a serious plan to handle this problem. Even the President himself is involved in practices that involves money as a method to win popularity.
Third – UMNO cronies. I think cronies is not a bad concept if properly managed and evaluated, but it has deviated so far from the objectives. UMNO cronyism have bred modern ‘Qaruns’ of our times. A such only wealth is their vision. If this is not the case, how can we explain the exorbitant wealth that many of these cronies enjoy ?
In my opinion, UMNO needs to desperately change. It had a chance if you had not resigned. Now, I am not so sure UMNO have a chance.
What do you think Tun?
Dear Tun,
Yes, agreed we need a strong Government. However the crucial issues for any Government to be truly respected are sincerity, fairness to all citizens, irrespective of race, creed and culture, equal opportunities for all citizens in employment and education matters.
My daily prayers are that the Government becomes really sincere in resolving problems and not practise double standards. The whole Government machinery needs to be overhauled, whereby implementation of Government policies are done fairly, equtably and properly.
Corruption needs to be checked as corruption presently is very rife. Inefficiency in the Government service is really bad.
In my opinion, only with the rectification of the above highled weaknesses can we have a strong Government.
Salam Ayahanda Tun,
saya sokong apa yang Tun utara kan.. yg mengambil alih ni harap2 tegas sedikit. ubah ler cara yg asyik tido je dalam mesyuarat (memalukan betul) org tau ler letey.. tp da tau letey suh berundur pulak liat.. huh.. jgn ler bwk kroni2 masuk skali..

Salam buat TUN.
Apa yang TUN katakan betul.
sekarang yang jadi masalah, para pemimpin yang ada tidak bertindak tegas. Contohnya isu yang diperbincangkan sekarang. Apakah selama ini, para pemimpin hanya berpeluk tubuh? Sebagaimana sebuah pertubuhan atau organisasi, kita tentu mengadakan sebuah mesyuarat/perbincangan/musyawarah dalam membincangkan permasalahan yang dihadapi. Apakah perkara rasial tidak diperbincangkan?? Apakah tiada penekanan dan penjelasan yang tegas oleh para pemimpin BN??? Selama ini, apa yang dibincangkan oleh mereka sehingga isu rasial menjadi isu semasa yang terlihat dengan sengaja di buka2 oleh para pemimpin atasan sendiri???
Apakah undang2 dan perlembagaan yang telah termaktud hanya sebatas dibukukan??
Apakah selamanya negara kita terus dihantui permasalahan yang tiada kesudahan???
Kemana keteguhan kita dalam menegakkan undang2???
Selama ini kita sering terdengar, tiada hak sama sekali untuk memperbincangkan/memperdebatkan undang2 dan perlembagaan yang telah dipersetujui oleh para pemimpin terdahulu. Tetapi kini, ianya seperti kisah hidup seharian yang sering terdengar.
Sejarah tetap sejarah.
Kita yang menjalani wajib mempertahankan sejarah, kerana sejarah adalah ilmu yang sangat berharga. Kalau sejarah sudah mulai dipertikaikan, maka sudah selayaknya perhatian yang cukup halus dilakukan.
Tiada guna antara kita memberikan pandangan logik akal kalau sejarah mulai dipertikaikan.
Pada saya, sudah menjadi kewajipan para pemimpin kembali memperhatikan masalah ini sedalam mungkin. Ini kerana jatuh bangun negara kita Malaysia bukan kerana kurang ILMU atau PENGALAMAN tetapi TIDAK MAHU BELAJAR DARI KESILAPAN.
yes Tun.. You trying to tell us you are the best then?
We can still remember your misuse of power though making Malaysia famous at the same time.
Salam sejahtera dan Selamat Hari Raya YAB Tun,
Setelah 5 tahun akhirnya Dato’ Seri Abdullah mengakui bahawa mungkin kepimpinannya tidak begitu menjadi atau mungkin masih lagi belum sedar secara keseluruhan bahawa terdapat keruntuhan Kerajaan akibat pimpinannya yang tidak begitu kuat. Ataupun terdapat para pemimpin yang telah mencabar beliau sehinggakan perubahan mendadak telah dilaksanakan untuk beliau tidak bertanding pada Mac 2009 sekaligus menyebabkannya melepaskan era sebagai Perdana Menteri.
Ekoran polemik politik yang kusut berlarutan menjadikan rakyat semakin tidak menentu dan ditambah dengan kemelesetan ekonomi dunia ekoran sub-prima hartanah yang berlaku di Amerika Syarikat juga menjadikan kepimpinan Perdana Menteri semakin lemah.
Pernah saya terfikir bahawa masih terdapat ramai lagi calon di Malaysia yang bijak pandai yang masih mampu menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang berwawasan mencorakkan Malaysia menjadi sebuah negara yang maju. Namun demikian, standard pemikiran yang lemah telah diletakkan oleh Perdana Menteri sekarang adalah begitu jauh ketinggalan menyebabkan Ahli Parlimen yang ada berkeadaan serupa termasuklah daripada parti pembangkang itu sendiri.
Dunia pernah mengatakan bahawa YAB Tun umpama harimau bersayap semasa bersama Dato’ Seri Anwar menerajui pemerintahan Malaysia tetapi setelah kehilangan Dato’ Seri Anwar pun YAB Tun masih lagi merupakan harimau bersayap. Betapa ia membuktikan Dato’ Seri Anwar hanya mengulangi pencapaian YAB Tun semasa beliau menjadi Timbalan Perdana Menteri dan beliau bukanlah seorang yang perlu dihargai.
Dearest Tun,
1. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH Tun. A strong government is needed in a multi-racial country.
2. A STRONG AND DECISIVE LEADER IS ALSO REQUIRED (like Tun). So, we must discard DSAAB, who is so WEAK AND INDECISIVE.
3. I agree with point (17). The current government has done NOTHING SMART. DSAAB is just very lucky to inherit a VERY strong nation from Tun.
DSAAB is so incompetent, but yet some people think that he deserves to be called âBAPA DEMOKRASIâ¦â What a JOKE. May be âBAPA KEBERANTAKANâ is more suitable..
Tun, please comment on Datoâ Mukhrizâs chances of winning the Youth Chiefâs position. I support him.
May Allah SWT bless Tun and family.
Dear Tun,
A very belated “Selamat Hari Raya” to you and your family. It is very true that Malaysians voted overwhelmingly in 2004 to give Pak Lah the mandate based on his reform agenda to fight corruption. Instead of using the mandate to carry out the reforms he promised, he used it for his personal gain, hence the disastrous outcome of the March Elections. We Malaysians have no doubt that you are not perfect but history has clearly demonstarted that you are still the best PM we ever had. We all love you and may god bless you always.
Kind Regards
salam tok det yg dikasihi,
sekali lg saya nak berckp ttg tnb.2 hari lepas dlm surat khabar. TNB untung tapi untung susut. bukan sikit. hampir 1Billion. ini bermakna tnb rugilah.
dilaporkan tnb adalah penghutang terbesar negara.duit yg ada skrg hanya cukup utk tampung operasi tnb selama 12 bln shj lagi. apa akan jadi selepas itu. nak pinjam dari mana lagi. kalau tnb bankrap apa akan jadi kpd negara??
projek bakun mungkin tak dpt diteruskan kalau kegawatan ekonomi berterusan kerana buat masa skrg tiada pihak yg nak bg pinjam dkt tnb. sapa nak bg pinjam kalau asyik rugi je. tiap2 tahun lapor untung. tapi untung setiap tahun berkurangan. lama2 tak dak untung langsung!!!
macam manalah keadaan ini tak berlaku. TNB supply elektrik lebih tapi hasil jualan yang tnb dapat sikit. mcm mana nak dapat lebih kalau orang dok pakai elektrik free…rakyat yang bawah jugak menderita sebab tak dak duit nak upah orang TNB utk ubahsuai meter!!
rakyat nak jumpa dato sri nak bantu dato sri utk dpt balik duit yg hilang tu. tapi kata orang kanan dato sri, “saya dah serah, tapi dia buat tak heran saja..”
betul ke? kalau betul tak tau lah apa nasib negara selepas ini. suara rakyat pun tak nak dengar. depa tau nak naik tarif saja. yang kaya tetap dok bayar banyak tu jugak. yg tak kaya yang kena bayar lebih. dulu bil rm50 sebulan. sekarang rm 80 sebulan.bil rumah orang kaya pun rm 80 sebab orang TNB “tolong” bagi slow meter depa.
utk pengetahuan semua, budak baru keluar politeknik pun tau macam mana nak curi elektrik. senangnya nak gelapkan negara!!!
saya merayu kpd bloggers. marilah kita gesa dato najib utk campur tangan. kalau perkara ini dibiarkan naik lagilah tarif elektrik!!!jgn biarkan yang kaya semakin kaya dan yang miskin terus papa kedana..
Salam Tun,
Saya setuju. Satu perkara yang saya nak kongsi. Seseorang pemimpin perlu punya rekod yang bersih, tidak ada sebarang skandal atau kes yang berat. Kalau ada, saya fikir ini akan menjejaskan ketegasan dan hemah bila dia buat keputusan akibat bimbang rahsia dia (yang ada dalam poket orang lain) akan terbongkar.

Dear Sir,
1. Firstly, let me thank you for starting this splendid blog. I’d be brave enough to argue that this would be on par with one of your other many projects that have benefited us. In this particular case (www.chedet.com), not a brick-mortar project, in a way engages and educates the rakyat at large. Perhaps this is worthy of Bapa Demokrasi itself from the freedom of information angle.
2. Anyway, given leadership issue is more or less sorted out, let’s get back to matter at hand, the economy. What do you think a free advise-giving mentor would recommend for 2009? it’s bad on the ground.
3. On the counsel of advisors? Doesn’t the cabinet give good enough counsel for a PM?
With all due respect Tun,
Out of sheer curiosity leaving the petty details of who did what or even who did who, heh.
What exactly do you mean by a strong governmet? What are you referring to in terms of strength? What are these indicators which you use as basis in making the conclusion that there is a deficit of general strength of the current government?
In no way am i saying that the government is weak or strong, and passing jdgement in that manner, but for discussion sake i just want to know how you grade the government as weak or strong for that matter?
Isnt it true that for any governments, intermitten instability is quite normal in the cycle of governing? Especially after 50 years.
In fact, the J-curve of openess with regards to stability, clearly shows there is a period of instability which follows transition from limited openess to increased openess, (not that the J-curve is the absolute truth). Again, just out of curiosity, could there be a clarification why the so called “strong” gov being an active agent (which i assume to be the administration before this) is needed to make a come back, when the instability now is supposedly a natural turn of events in our transition in the curve.
Im not sure you wld respond to my particular question out of the heaps of comments piling up on this thread, but i hate to assume that you are generalizing the terms weak and strong based on no basis, which i dont think is the case here..
Thank you Tun. Thank you for reading.
Have a nice day.
Assalamualaikum Ayahanda Tun
Maafkan saya kerana selama pemerintahan Ayahanda saya telah mencerca dan menghina Ayahanda kerana jiwa muda saya yang terbawa-bawa dengan fitnah dan adu domba syaitan yang bertopengkan manusia — yang hodoh dan jijik.
Sekarang saya tidak lagi mempunyai dendam dan perasaan marah terhadap Ayahanda kerana saya sedar bahawa segala apa yang Ayahanda lakukan selama ini adalah untuk kebaikan anak-anak Malaysia yang Ayahanda kasihi.
Ayahanda adalah seorang negarawan yang unggul yang berjiwa murni yang hanya hadir sekali dalam 100 tahun.
Maafkan saya atas kecuaian dan kelemahan saya.
Semoga Ayahanda dilimpahkan rahmat dan berkat oleh Allah.
Selamat Hari Raya Ayahanda dan maafkanlah kesilapan saya selama ini. Saya sangat sedih apabila mengingatkan balik segala dosa yang telah saya lakukan terhadap Ayahanda.
Saya benar-benar bersalah terhadap Ayahanda.
Maafkan saya.
Salam Tun yang dikasihi,
Kami rindukan tulisan Tun selepas beberapa hari tidak ada posting baru. Saya sangat bersetuju dengan apa yang Tun katakan mengenai kerajaan yang kuat dan pemimpin yang cekap. We are in this bad situation today just because we don’t have good leader and strong goverment. That is why BN components like Gerakan and MIC are now asking silly things they don’t even dare to think when you was the PM. Can you comment on Koh Tsu Koon remark that Pak Lah era is about
more democracy and transparency? I puked when I heard that remark.
YABhg Tun
A strong government existed when you were PM. It had been said we would have to wait another 100 years before we could see another ‘Mahathir’ as our leader.
But we need the strong government you spoke of now. Regretably, even a weakling can cause havoc in the way power was abused, alledgedly by the leader, family members and advisors. This would mean that it would be almost impossible to have a strong government if we maintain and move on with the status quo.
Tun, therefore, i would like to suggest the country seriously explore your suggestion that there should be a Council of Elders to advice the PM. A similar council should also be needed to advice the President of UMNO.
The main role of the Councils is to ensure that the UMNO President and PM of Malaysia is always on the path of “bersih, cekap dan amanah” and any abuse of power be arrested immediately – no matter how small or trivial it may seem. As we say – sikit-sikit lama-lama jadi bukit.
Your suggestion as mentioned above also signalled that we need a systemic correction in our model of Government – the BN model. I am sure you have thought long and hard – on why we decended so fast into the abyss of corruption, abuse of power, nepotism on a scale unknown in Malaysia, and mediocre and ‘lame duck’ government.
We the rakyat were and are utterly hearbroken as this calamity came immediately after 22 years of a golden era of good governance and rapid human and national development.
I hope Tun could pen an article on how do we move forward and together create a strong government in the face of recent bad experience
Thank you

Dear Tun,
Above all, I think it is important for leaders to be decent, sincere and honest good men & women … with principle!
We don’t need greedy, unpricipled, weak in faith, gila perempuan dan suka maksiat type of “pemimpin”.

Thank you.
Salam Tun & felllow bloggers,
1.PM:I use to hear,while you, Tun are in power,you use to sunmmon leaders of BN component parties to give a peace of mind whenever racial issues cropped up.All were solve BEHIND CLOSED DOOR,to diffuse tension & friction.Same goes to your weekly cabinet meeting every Wednesday,full of lively vulgarity & fiery lectures.Samy,Kheng Yaik,Liong Sik used to be your punching bags,and Pak Lah…busy courting new wife!
2.MEDIA:In my previous postings,I did stress the importence of restraining ourself from giving attention/coverage to extremist like HINDRAF.The birth of HINDRAF is because media coverage on sensitive issues like demolition of illegal temples,fanning the anger of average Mutus (non educated and misinformed),taken advantage by few glory seekers (educated spin-doctors: in this case spin-lawyers)
3.ISA: Its still relevant to prevent future Uthayakumars & Theresa Koks..eh and not forgetting Soo Koon alikes
WASSALAM
A strong and powerful goverment led by UMNO has already faded into the history book of Malaysia after the recent 12th. general election recently.
With well informed voters, thanks to the cyberspace, there is no way UMNO, MCA and GERAKAN going to continuously become the anchor power of the goverment of this country anymore.
For the 50 years Barisan Nasional in power, especially in the last 30 years, we have seen how the so-called strong goverment had misused its power.
With the overwhelming power vested by the voters, we have seen how the power was utilised by the goverment of the day to manipulate and rig all the country’s systems, in order to ensure the continuity of Barisan Nasional as the ruling power.
All the sufferings the country is witnessing, whether they impair the physical environment, the country’s natural resourses, or legal, economic and social institutions, or livelihood and morality of the people are traceable to the overwhelming power, which the voters had given to the Barisan goverment.
Enough is enough, and I’m very certain the well informed Malaysians have reached maturity in their thinking, and they don’t need TDMM to do the thinking for them.
Salam Tun and everyone,
Even if we want to give greater democracy or freedom to the people it have to be done when we are strong and able to decisively opt for it. Giving to the demand when we are weak clearly an act of submission and to gain political popularity.
Take care.

Salam.
Assalamu Alaikum Tun,
I am absolutely agree with your view on the need for a multicultural country like Malaysia to have a strong government. But to form strong government needs various aspects like charismatic leader, capable, accepted and respected leader morally and interm of leadership. One more thing is that in a country likes Malaysia run by a government with represetative of a coalition political parties, one of the coalition politcal parties must have bigger representation compared to the rest to stabilise the coalition’s strength by reducing the impact of potential threat to pull out of the coalition by smaller components. But, the bigger coalition should not misused its advantage.
assalamualaikum wbt,
apa yang kita perlukan adalah pemimpin yang mempunyai jiwa yang tulus. bukan pemimpin yang ingin menjadi pemimpin kerana keinginan peribadi mereka. pemimpin yang jujur tidak memikirkan tentang diri mereka tetapi diri rakyat yang berada di bwah mereka.
yang dibimbangi sekarang ialah jika yang telibat dalam umno sekarang juga masih pemimpin yang mementingkan diri mereka sendiri. adalah lebih baik jika pemimpin Malaysia terdiri dari generasi muda yang berkebolehan dan faham kehendak generasi kini. apa yang dilihat ialah pemimpin yang menawarkan diri mereka untuk menjadi menteri-menteri adalah dari golongan veteran. Adalah perlu diberikan kesempatan kepada generasi baru untuk menjadi pemimpin bukan dari golongan mereka-mereka yang di recycle.
penggabungan parti-parti melayu/islam adalah penting untuk mengukuhkan melayu/islam di malaysia. pemimpin-pemimpinnya harus membuang prasangka buruk dikalangan mereka dan melihat gambaran yang ke depan dan lebih luas. Fenomena hari ini telah menunjukkan bagaimana melayu/islam mula diaanggap sebagai musuh di negara sendiri.
My very dearest Tun
You are very right in your observation of Malaysian politics over the last 50 years has convinced that a powerful Government lead by competent leaders is necessary for multi-racial Malaysia. In this dire time in our country, we not only need a strong and competent government, but also a sensible government who can moderate with all races harmoniously. Again, I would stress that it is time for our younger ones with no fiery intentions, should replace the much older ones in politics, especially those who have been sitting in the administering chair for far too long. The nucleus of this young politicians will then be nurtured and led by a mature, sensible, intelligent and knowledgeable leader, together with a couple of good decent politicians without ulterior motives, in governing the country. Those plagued with scandals and past bad records should now step down gracefully regardless if they are potentially experienced or not. This is not the time for political sentiments. This is the time for political reality and awakening in this beloved country of ours for the people and with the people.
In our reckoning, it will be best in the rakyatâs interest that you be appointed as our Nationâs Chief Advisor to the governmentâ¦sooner the better than later. With Tun, our nation and our people will still have hope.
God Speed.
Salam Tun,
a) Di harap UMNO kali ni kena BETUL-BETUL re-structure untuk mengembalikan kepercayaan org ramai. Jika tidak, bungkus jadi NASI lemak aje.
b) Tun, apa pandangan tun tentang politik wang di peringkat ketua bahagian, nampaknya menjadi-jadi. Sehinggakan orang yang ada kepimpinan atau kelayakan tak memang. seperti di TUMPAT. Walaupun kes terpencil tapi sebab nila setitik aje menyebabkan rakyat tak percaya.
c) Ahli2 yang bertanding, JANGAN LAH INGAT rakyat yang berada di luar ni, tidak tahu permainan politik anda, memalukan aje. Perjuanglah kerana Allah Taala, jangan ikut hawa nafsu.

Assalamualaikum YBHG Tun,
1st of all, Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir Batin. Its been a while since my last posting.. hope Tun n family are all in good shape.
With regards to today’s entry, I have to admit that our current government is not as strong as what we have 5 years ago. Although we have encountered the same problem way back in 1997 crisis, Alhamdulillah, we’ve managed to deal with it previously. But now, sorry to say that our current leaders have failed to cater this problem.
Being a legal practitioner myself, dealing with mostly conveyancing and corporate works, I can see that the business has decreasing. People are afraid to buy property, banks got problem in selling their loans etc.. etc. What will happen next? Only God knows.
I hope and I pray that Malaysia will prosper once again.. and I also pray that Tun n family will be blessed by Him.
p/s: is there any 2nd chance for me to meet u for Hari Raya since i missed your previous open house.. Thanks

Assalam Tun,
Benar kata-kata Tun, membina kerajaan yang kuat tiada masalah tetapi mendapatkan Pemimpin Yang Siddiq, Amanah, Tabliq dan Fathonah itu yang susah tu.
Semoga tiada lagi kes-kes salah pilih sudah la, Tun. Memalukan agama, bangsa dan negara je.
DO WE NEED A STRONG GOVERNMENT â Jawapannya adalah YA bagi Malaysia yang mempunyai rakyat berbilang kaum dan agama.
Sistem yang diamalkan sepanjang hampir 50 tahun sejak mencapai kemerdekaan yang berlandaskan perlembagaan tidak ada kelemahannya sebab itu kita lebih berjaya dari kebanyakan negara yang seusia atau lebih tua (lebih dahulu mencapai kemerdekaan dari kita).
Bila sistem itu baik, adakah ianya perlu diubah? Tun telah membuktikan semasa Tun mengetuai Kerajaan sepanjang tahun 1981 hingga 2003 banyak kemajuan telah kita capai dan nikmati â bukan sahaja pembangunan tetapi tahap pendidikan rakyat bertambah baik, ekonomi rakyat dan ekonomi Negara juga berkembang pesat. Kesannya pelabur luar bertambah yakin dan banyak negara menjadikan Malaysia negara contoh di samping rakyat yang berbilang kaum dan agama dapat hidup dengan harmoni. Saya percaya sistem yang Tun dan pemimpin-pemimpin terdahulu terapkan adalah berdasarkan peruntukan undang-undang dan perlembagaan.
Bila sistem itu baik, kenapa 5 tahun kebelakangan ini terutama selepas pilihan raya yang lalu hinggi kini Malaysia semacam hilang arah dan tidak jelas hala tuju. Adakah sistem yang lemah atau tidak sesuai atau Pemimpin no 1 yang lemah. Pada saya pemimpin yang lemah â lemah dalam membuat keputusan, lemah dalam melaksanakan keputusan dan lemah dalam mengambil tindakan. Atau kemungkin yang kedua adalah pemimpin membuat keputusan medahului kepentingan peribadi dari kepentingan umum.
Pemimpin yang lemah, pemimpinlah yang harus ditukar dan bukannya sistem. Saya mengambil kesempatan ini untuk mengucapkan tahniah dan berbanyak banyak terima kasih kepada Tun kerana telah berjaya memberi tekanan sehingga PM terpaksa secara terhormat akan melepaskan jawatannya.
Semoga pengantinya dapat meletakkan Malaysia yang kita kasihi ke landasan yang betul dan dengan halatuju yang jelas rakyat akan menyukung demi masa hadapan yang gemilang.
Wassalam.

Salam to Tun & fellow chedeters,
I read in Financial Times Daily abt 2 weeks ago, that Malaysia ranked 47th most corrupted country, in front of us Singapore, UAE,etc. Tun’s Vision 2020 is just 12 years away – logically, if were to decline the mark down, relatively speaking by a ladder a year, that makes us the 35th most corrupted country by 2020. Aint this a thought.
A sound government ready to lead a multi-racial nation, should have first each races’ interests best @ hesrt. Where is the leader who thinks about the ibans in S’wak? Yes, in the budget 2009, the government was kind to disimburse RM3Bil to S’wak, lets see what ‘developments’ be made / done … Let me count the ways to love you, quoting Shakespeare sonnet’s. Progress, we need to stand shoulder-to-shoulder to leap forward even higher in terms of world-class standards. Where is the real ‘Malaysia Boleh’ spirit? What makes us a TRUE Malaysian? Hence, a Malaysian government.
I can only hope in the next election, Sarawakians like me living in Kl should not be given a choice of to either change the address on my IC to a KL address OR return home to vote. Is it too difficult to make that little tick box for us who is serving here in Peninsula to vote where we are without quenching my purse tighter so I cast a vote for the good of the ballot box. If only the process could be more simpler, than imposing red-tapes / restrictions, voting could be a cool experience, i bet.
Salam Ayahanda Tun.
It all comes down to respect Tun. Without R-E-S-P-E-C-T not much could be accomplish. In a monogamous society such as observed in Japan, it does not matter who comes up, LDP, SDP -anyone- is all the same because they are largely one group of race and Shinto is their main primary religion. I say primary because to my simple understanding, Shinto allows its practitioner to cut & paste a bit of this and that into it. With this kind of accommodating environments, the Japanese were able to totally put their efforts into building their country.
For us in Malaysia, we have many different religions – but ALL religions, emphasize on loyalty to God, love and respect. All religions provide security. There is no reason to feel insecure. Problems arises when certain quarters begins to meddle into the religion of others. Such could be seen today in Cheras. And merely on an observer status to this simmering fire, we have a stupid and weak leadership that could only react (not pro-act) – and at that too, never even nearly on par to the expectations of the majority (and I put that Datuk Syed Ali Alhabshee is doing more good than what the PM could be seen doing or had done!).
Today I see some non Malays taking a different view and approach as opposed to what BN has given us all in the past 51 years. On paper, at the tops of their lungs, their new views all sounds good for them, but sit down and do the equations. The subject of balance, equilibrium, numbers and force shall actually determine the outcome to this math. As a commenter here had put it rather plainly and apt: “you are either with us, or you are doomed to hell!” â (I believe it was Pak Belalang). And I tend to agree with this view. Come to a certain point, its not sentiments that dictates outcome. But its – number, force and determination. We have a status of balanced-equilibrium for the past 51 years. We can (should) make it better to accommodate more, keep it intact, or itâs doomed to hell time for all. At the same time, I must also state that in my believe, perhaps the time is now right to make us all Bumiputra. Bumiputra Malay, Bumiputra Chinese, Bumiputra Indian, and so on. We can all utilize on an all new NEP and yet at the same time we can still keep our own identities in equality and harmony.
In this direction and platform, eventually good sense, understanding, rationality and responsibility would soon push us all into creating a bigger economic cake for all. In a way, maybe this is as close to monogamous Japan as we can safely get. We canât fix nearly everything in one life time, or in one political generation. But by all means, we can surely lay down the basic structure for it, for tomorrow leaders who may still be in Primary / Secondary school (only a single streaming for schools) or even still in pampers today. And perhaps the lone far away commenter from Kosovo knows all the better what racial problems could eventually end up as – in the soft blue veined hands of a weak and dim leadership.
I strongly concur with your views Tun.
Salam Tun,
Shah Rukh Khan got “datuk”……how about Jackie Chan?
Sorry out of topic
Dear Tun,
A strong central government tend to lead to an abuse of power by the government. The government can easily make or implement policy without worrying what the opposition or people said. A weak central government, with partners to form a government,have to be very careful in making decision in order not to offend his partners. Either, a strong central government, or a weak central government, what people need is an honest charismatic leader to lead our country.
Selamat Hari Raya Tun
Saya setuju dgn Tun..dan berdoa semoga Tun sentiasa sihat dan dpt memberi pandangan dan comment2 yg keras n tegas.Selamat Hari Raya Tun.
Dearest Tun,
The Government is as strong as ever.
The rakyat gave BN its strong mandate to rule the country.
There is no racial tension whatsoever.
The economic fundamentals are strong.
There is no recession.
Those are the words repeated by the PM & DPM over and over again. They think rakyats are fools. In actual fact, the whole government are run by clowns. They never look outside the box, they never cared
to look anyway.
Malaysia is going to bite the dust as long as idiots are running the show.

YABgh Tun,
Kalau kita amati dahulu tidak ada Parti Komponen yang berani menyuarakan untuk keluar dari Barisan Nasional, tetapi kini terdapat Parti yang jelas sudah terhakis sokongan berlagak seperti mempunyai sokongan yang padu dari pelbagai kaum untuk keluar BN. Memang dah jadi resam dunia kawan menanggis sukar di cari.Kalau pokok dah condong kura kura pun cuba untuk memanjat. TQ
Tun,
What you said is true. Ironically, the weak leaders that we have today mostly are elected by YOU. Most notably is Pak Lah.
Even he already announced that he would step down soon, but then his candidate for replacement is also a big risk to nation.

The next PM has an option — do what TDM did when he was the PM.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t YABhg.Tun seisi keluarga,
Indeed a strong government would be able to rule and manage a multiracial country. And indeed, Malaysia and it’s leaders had managed to do that for the last 50 years. And of course, most of us are concerned about the future, the next 15 years or maybe 50 years. What will become of Malaysia then? I think the burden rests on the shoulders of future leaders, not only the top ranking but those secondary tiers within the governing parties. They are the people that would choose the supreme leaders that would in turn rule the country. A wrong choice would result to bad consequences.
The UMNO general assembly is coming soon. Division delegates, all four wings, should choose wisely. UMNO needs leaders that, not only regain the trusts of the people of Malaysia, but leaders that could bring back the original spirit of UMNO back into the party. Delegates should choose clean and transparent leaders – not popular ones. I’m sorry but I could not refrain myself from saying this; former leaders such as Tan Sri Isa Samad should be rejected by the delegates. UMNO not only needs to show a clean image but it needs to reflect it’s sincerity in the cleansing process. It would not be easy but we have to start somewhere.
Dato’ Seri Najib, Tan Sri Muhyiddin, Dato’ Shahrizat and Dato’ Mukhriz are the best choices that we have; for now. I believe they can do the job; all they need is courage and good ears. Don’t just listen to party members but to all… especially those in the kedai kopi and mamak stalls.
If only Malaysia could have a Minister Mentor….
Salam YABhg.Tun and may Allah bless you always…
Dear Tun,
Who do you recommend as the competent leader to lead our government ?
Personally I think postponing the UMNO party elections to March 09 is a bad idea and the uncertainty will drag on further. Those from UMNO will be busy worrying about their positions in the new structure.
Who would have time to look around what’s happening around us ?
Greetings Tun
Yes, we do need a strong government. I agree totally with your 23
points statement.
Take this opportunity to salute you. Being very frank and still so
concern with our country after your retirement. You could have just
enjoy your days without bothering with what is happening with this
government. But you still CARE so much. I know, a lot of people said
that you were being senile when making accusations or being critical
of the PM. I always said that you still care about Malaysia as you have spend over 20 years nuturing our country to what it is today
and you are unlikely to sit back and watch it destroyed by the present weak government (PM).
If an ordinary citizen like us is critical of the present government, we are likely to be charged under ISA. Luckily for us,
we have you to champion our cause. HIP HIP HOORAY!
Wishing you best of Health.
Examples of strong governments:
Kim Il Sung – 46 years – 24 years as PM (1948-1972) and 22 years as President (1972-1994)
Fidel Castro – 32 years (1976-2008)
Suharto – 31 years (1967-1998)
Robert Mugabe – 28 years (1980-2008)
Mahathir Mohamad – 22 years (1981-2003)
Assalamualaikum Tun,
Apa khabar Tun? Harap Tun berada di dalam keadaan sihat walafiat.
1. Ini kali pertama saya menulis komen di ruangan Tun walaupun telah melayari blog ini sejak mula lagi.
2. Saya setuju dengan pendapat dan pandangan Tun yang kita memerlukan kerajaan yang kuat untuk memimpin penduduk yang berbilang kaum dan agama.
3. Ini adalah kerana Malaysia berbeza dengan negara-negara yang lain di mana pelbagai bangsa dan agama tinggal bersama sebagai rakyat.
4. Sebagai contoh di negara Jepun, rakyat mereka tidak pernah ambil peduli siapa yang akan memimpin negara kerana mereka tahu walau siapa pun yang menjadi perdana menteri mereka tetap dari bangsa yang sama. Setahun 3 kali tukar perdana menteri pun tak pe..
5. Negara Jepun juga telah mencapai tahap negara maju di mana penduduk mereka tidak berapa bergantung kepada kerajaan dan banyak syarikat-syarikat Jepun yang telah berjaya dan terkenal di seluruh dunia.
6. Malaysia merupakan negara yang sedang membangun, kerajaan yang kuat diperlukan bagi kestabilan negara dan seterusnya menarik minat pelabur untuk melabur di negara Malaysia. Banyak bantuan dari kerajaan yang masih diperlukan oleh penduduk Malaysia. Negara yang tidak stabil dan kucar-kacir hanya merugikan penduduk.
7. Saya tidak mengatakan yang negara Malaysia kini kucar-kacir tetapi sekiranya kerajaan tidak memainkan peranan di dalam memastikan kestabilan negara dari konteks penduduk berbilang kaum kemungkinan perkara ini boleh berlaku.
P.S.: Sokong gandingan Najib dan Muhyiddin..
YAbhg TUN,
Alhamdulillah…Nampak macam team yang pro TUN dan pro Dato Mukhriz ‘Berani Berubah’ telah mendapat restu di semua Perwakilan.
Tapi yang sedihnya mengapa KJ & Reezaal masih dicalonkan…Tak sedarkah kita slogan mula dia pakai ialah meneruskan kesenimbungan pimpinan yang juga ber erti kesenimbungan dari kepimpinan yang paling teruk di abad ini. Walau ramai Pemuda tahu hati budi KJ…tapi dek terpesona dengan kesenangan sementara..maka dapatlah dia percalunan…Orang yang memangkah dia bagai setuju dengan peranan yang di mainkannya dalam merosakkan imej Pak mertuanya sendiri.
Dan satu lagi…Regu KJ…REZAL yang juga rosak akhlaknya…Tak kan ramai lagi PEMUDA TAK TAHU BAHAWA : DIA PERNAH DITANGKAP KHALWAT.
Tak percaya? Cuba tanya Dato’ Othman Desa, SUP Pak Lah. Kekesalan dia tolong melepaskan Reezal dari tuduhan khalwat masih diluahkan sampai hari ini. Ramai UMNO Kepala Batas terutamanya Pemuda tahu hal ini…
Nauzubillah.
Salam TUN.
Mereka yang berada didalam kerajaan yang dipimpin oleh seorang yang bergitu lemah telah membina sebuah kerajaan yang teramat lemah dalam sejarah Malaysia.
Sebagai contoh, kumpulan HINDRAF yang bukan satu pertubuhan yang sah disisi undang2 negara bergitu berani mencabar kerajaan. Malah mereka juga berani memberi amaran pada kerajaan jika permintaan mereka tidak dilayan.
Kerajaan tidak berbuat apa2 pun untuk menghapuskan kumpulan ini walau pun beberapa pemimpin mereka telah di tahan ISA.
Sebenar kerajaan hari ini tidak pernah belajar dari pengalaman semasa pemerintahan TUN. Mereka bergitu yakin diri mereka lebeh hebat dari TUN. Dan ingin membuat pembaharuan . Lain dari apa yang telah TUN rangkakan untuk negara ini.
Kebebasan bersuara lah. Kebebasan media lah.Tapi tak juga nampak bebas. Nak perbetulkan institusi kehakiman lah. Nak hapuskan rasuah,tapi semakin menjadi2. Nah, apa penyudah nya? Habok pun tarak. Semua tonggang langgang.
Saya sokong posting TUN hari ini. Ini akan mengigatkan bakal pemimpin akan datang supaya tidak melakukan sesuatu yang menampakan kelemahan kerajaan.
Sekarang, sebelum Pak Lah berundur, mereka telah pun memberi gelaran pada Pak Lah sebagai “Bapak Demokrasi”.
Dulu Bapak Hadari la, MR Clean la…berapa banyak gelaran da…
Tahniah pada Datuk Mukhriz telah pun layak melepasi kuota pencalunan Ketua Pemuda UMNO.
Pada TOK KHIR, kenapa dah ada sekatan ker nak berjumpa akar umbi dan perwakilan. Kata dulu tak ada masaalah. Dulu kata ahli tak berminat pada Datuk Mukhriz kerana itu beliau tak dapt sambutan bila melawat akar umbi,bukan kena sekat. Ya lah tu pasai lah TOK khir dapat sikit undi kerana kena sekat kot.
Salam Tun,
I agree with about the importance of a strong government. Right now, too many of us Malaysians are looking for an alternative government due to various reasons.
Applying the Pareto’s principle, we should arrive that the main reason muslims shying from UMNO is the Islamic factor.
There is a misconception (hopefully) that UMNO leaderships are not adhering to the Islamic principles – though they happen to be muslims.
Perhaps, it is time UMNO to make a stand that it is not a secular party but very much an Islamic party for the malays. A formation of a Majlis Ulama that advises UMNO on any relevant issues may help to change the misconception. However, the Majlis Ulama must not fear or favor anyone but fear God Almighty alone.
Everyone agrees that “Mati itu Benar”, so anything we do must bring us closer to God.
Assallamualaikum wbt buat Tun seisi keluarga & pembaca blog chedet semua,
wlau sedikit lewat,saya ingin mengucapkan selamat hari raya aidilfitri.
walau tak kira dimana saja berada,semangat perjuangan Tun & semua akan senantiasa menjadi obor peneman buat saya.
sayang selalu buat Tun & Tun Ct sekeluarga,semoga senantiasa dilindungi dan berkati ilahi.InsyaAllah..
Salam Tun.
Only now we realised that it is not easy to manage n run a multi
racial country like Malaysia.
The govement must be strong in order to sustain peace n harmony.
But with the present gov n present leardeship……..things are getting worse.

Dear Tun,
Yes, you are right. We need a very aggresive leader to get things right. But as you can see, DSNR do not possess this trait. Since March 08 until now, he seem to wait things to happen rather than make things happen. Worst of all, no leader in UMNO dare to take the challenge to compete for the top post. I wonder what Tun will do if you were 20 years younger and in the Muhyidin position? DSNR is lucky to have the PM post deliver to his door just like AAB 4 years ago. I’m afraid DSNR will go through the same fate like AAB. For the sake of Malaysia, I hope he could prove me wrong.
By the way, Tun, could you comment on the idea of “Membership for BN instead of UMNO,MCA,MIC,etc”?

Selamat hari raya kepada TUN…
Ini merupakan komen pertama saya…
Saya amat bersetuju dengan pendapat TUN
Saya kewibawaan peminpin itu amat penting..bila bercakap baru ada org dengar..
saya sanggup dengar TUN bercakap berjam-jam..tetapi kalau pak lah 1 minit pun dah boring..
bercakap x der fakta..
Siam Jitra….
Welcome home Tun,
Yes, we need competent, strong and firm leaders to lead us, not Mr Nice, Mr Hero or whatsoever. This is the time we have to bring foreign and local investors back to the share market by proving to them we have the track record of competence leaders for 50 years leading the multiracial society. So, opposition party, please concentrate to work together with the ruling government and stop all the guessing game.
Keep on writing Tun so that we can get the macro view of our politics and economy in Malaysia. Thank you very much Tun.
Dear Tun,
Ironically, the current leader are still harping that they have been given the strong mandate to govern and that it would be considered landslide victory in another country. What they do not see is the multi-racial condition of this country as rightly pointed out by Tun.
Even in a single racial or predominantly single racial country, strong government is necessary for stability. In the case of government formed by coalition parties, each component party should always stick together in times of good and bad.
I look at this difficult period for the ruling coalition as the opportunity to phase out the good and bad partners in the coalition.
I think the current administration should employ more professionals to assist in the administration of the country. BN should rope in more professionals and the well-educated as candidates for representatives in the parliament. The world is growing very fast. Times are changing. People are getting smarter.
We need even smarter people to govern the other smart people.
just look at Singapore how LKY manage his peoples so is China as well.
we must moving toward one identity let start with national school only 1 school no more chinese or indian school ,no more kampung baru since no more communist threat now. no more anybody challenge the contitution. AAB liberalism not working in Malaysia contact unless you follow Indonesia or Thailand .
Dear Tun and fellow bloggers ,
I am really fascinated with your points 17 and 18 which read :-
17. The trade balance is in our favour not because of anything smart done by this weak Government, but because the prices of oil, palm oil and rubber on the world market are very high (although now the prices are declining).
18. Generally the economy is bad, as bad as the race politics that we are seeing. The people are the ones to pay the price. They are suffering from high prices with no compensating increase in income.
This is what we can feel and see in our daily lives but yet ……. I am really sad and worried that our current weak leaders are still blind to see this.
This is the latest excerpt from our ” so called bapa democracy leader ” from the STAR newspaper.
Malaysia is not going into recession at the moment because of its strong economic fundamentals, reserves and trade surplus, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said.
The country also had high domestic savings and a stable currency which was not subjected to fluctuation, the Prime Minister said when commenting on Malaysiaâs current standing following Singaporeâs announcement of anti-recession measures.
âI believe, insya-Allah (God willing), we can weather the storm. We still have strong economic fundamentals. We have very strong reserves. Our trade surplus is still strong. We do have high domestic savings.
âWe are not in any kind of turmoil. We have a healthy democracy,â Abdullah told reporters after delivering his keynote address at the US-Islamic World Regional Forum here on Monday.
He said the country would have to generate greater domestic consumption and he wanted to see more investments in the country.
However, he said that the Government had no intention of pegging the ringgit like it did to weather the 1997 Asian currency crisis, and would remain âpro-business.â
âWe have a lot of assets that we can use to withstand the impact of the situation we are facing today, but Iâm not saying that itâs going to be easy.
âItâs going to be tough. If we stand together, if the rakyat (citizenry) supports the Government, we can continue to work well with the private sector as a unit. We should be able to weather the storm,â he said.
Our PM said that our currency was stable. Yes it’s is stable in his bolehland dream ! Malaysia need to generate more domestic consumption . Yeah , yeah — how to generate more domestic consumption when our purchasing power was blatantly reduced with the goverment step to increase the petrol price by 78 cents and hence all prices gone up ? Borrowing interest rate have increased also.We are getting poorer and poorer and yet more state council are implementing more public parking charges.
Malaysia BOLEH ! in Bolehland!….The best quote of the day = ” We ( Malaysia ) IS NOT IN ANY KIND OF TURMOIL ! ???????????????????
satu petang yang hening,paklah lepak bersama Koh Tsu Koon & Nori..

Assalamualaikum Tun..
saya sokong 100% apa yg Tun cakap tu..kita dah boleh tgk sekarang nie semua org boleh cakap apa yang depa nk cakap..kalau apa yg depa cakap tu betul untuk kebaikan negara tak pa,tapi nie utk api2 kn bangsa lain..paling terkini TAN LIAN HOE menuduh orang melayu ni pendatang..saya rasa malu ada pemimpin yang boleh buat bodoh walhal negara ni dah parah dgn macam2 masalah..
p/s masa time open house rumah Tun tak sempat nak sembang panjang..masa salam dgn Tun,saya cakap keluarga Pak Jab Pedu kirim salam..Tun tanya Pedu ka..saya tak pasti Tun masih ingat dengan Pak Jab Pedu atau tidak..tp kami sekeluarga mengucapkan selamat hari raya kepada Tun sekeluarga..

Dearest Tun,
Sangat setuju…everything you said is true.. now racial issues are no more sensitive issues…people talk about them everywhere. It didn’t happen much during your time.I hope Datuk Mukhriz will be the Ketua Pemuda…Amin!
Salam Tun – We’re sorry we missed your open house. Anyway, its sad to see that all that has been achieved over 50 years go down the drain. But at least the world now see that Malaysians are more matured politically – we know what we want and our needs.
What we need is a strong government with a competant leader, looking at the leaders of today, it makes you wonder if they are anyone competant enough. It’s scary… with the global financial crisis and all. What will happen to my dear country – do you know that many of my friends especially the professionals decided to stay or go back to UK/US to work just because they are tired of the politics in Malaysia. We (my hubby and I) nearly did that but as the Malay proverb goes “Hujan emas di negara org, hujan batu di negara sendiri”…
Dear Tun,
I guess you left really big shoes to fill.
In the past, everytime there was a crisis, people would just wait and see how you would handle the situation and solve the problem.
Nowadays, it seems that the root of the current issue is not identified and the wrong solution is implemented. Which causes people grief, and they take it upon themselves to be heard. One group says one thing, the other says another. An uncomfortable and unwanted aura is in the air amongst the races. The government is no longer the intermediary we can always rely on.
I hope something good will come after this, to say that one man can lead as you did may only remain a dream.
Best Regards to you and your family.
Assalamualaikum Ayahanda Tun,
Saya nak sangat berjumpa dengan Ayahnda Tun, hari itu masa rumah terbuka saya berada di kampung wahai ayahanda Tun yang tercinta, saya nak sangat jumpa Tun….please
Hello Tun
You now have your main thorn removed after your constant appeal to him to resign. In his place we have Najib and Muhyiddin whom you seem to back strongly. What makes you think that they are the best combination to lead the country? I haven’t heard you make any negative comments about Muhyiddin but you once addressed Najib as being a ‘yes man’ and weak and also he has a string of accusations behind him such as the submarine commission issue and a verious accusation involving the Altantuya murder. Personally, I myself do not know these 2 individuals very well except Muhyiddin leads Pagoh UMNO and my wife is from Pagoh. As for Najib, the last time I met him long, long ago in a 7 Eleven Store in Medan Damansara, he was practising his golf swing while his wife was buying something. He ignored the rest of us (nobody was speaking to him in excited conversation). So what makes you think Najib is strong enough to lead the country and why are you still hanging on to UMNO? Has UMNO been cleansed of its diseases? Or are the diseases just lying low watching the peralihan kuasa take place and then start to reappear when UMNO gets back its majority, if ever? As far as I know, cronyism, corruption, mismanagement, material greed will not just go away in a day or two!Do you intend UMNO and BN to get back to its full strength as before so that the same things will happen over again? As an example, just look at how Syed Hamid misuses the ISA on two individuals and even then the BN already had its majority significantly reduced!
Can TUN define competent leaders for us??
hai…. selamat hari raya!!
kami ternanti2 kan tun kembali!
idop tuN!
Salam untuk Tun dan Keluarga,
Agak keterlaluan jika saya mulakan komen dgn menyetujui segala yang tertulis di atas.
Ketulusan berpolitik lahir dari sikap pemimpin di kalangan BN itu sendiri. Jika mereka berkumpulan dengan BN hanya semata2 utk majukan bangsa masing2, nescaya pakatan berpolitik sedemikian akan tumbang. Tunjang pakatan tersebut amatlah rapuh.
Seharusnya BN perlu di gubah supaya dapat menarik minat keseluruhan rakyat dan parti2 politik supaya ke arah kemajuan Malaysia dengan memberi keutamaan kepd pendudk Malaysia yang terbanyak.
Formula baru yang dipersetujui ramai wajib di pesatkan demi kemakmuran BN dan negara. Perlulah di tekan bahawa semua Rakyat wajib di utamakan dari segi peluang kebahagian dan pembangunan minda tanpa diskriminasi. Pemimpin BN harus sedar hasil dari undian 8 March 08.
Ekonomi setiap isirumah perlu ditingkatkan untuk menambah kebahagian setiap ahli keluarga. Keluarga yang paling banyak membantah adalah dikalangan keluarga miskin yang semakin perit akibat kesukaran kos hidup dan pemahaman sebenar kehidupan.
Ketidak-bahagian keluarga juga datangnya daripada unsur bukan wang yang semakin sukar diatasi. Kebahagian haruslah dikembalikan kepada semua rakyat jika BN betul2 serius untuk terus berkuasa.
Isu-isu lapuk seperti ekonomi, agama & bangsa, pelajaran, kemajuan struktur batu, rasuah, demokrasi etc etc adalah menjadi kebiasaan kini tanpa kehairanan.
Saya mencadangkan agar Kementerian Kebahagian Negara di tubuh demi tujuan ini. Universiti Kebahagian juga perlu di tubuh segera untuk melahirkan semakin ramai cendikiawan berlatar belakangkan idea kebahagian kehidupan tanpa bertuhankan wang ringgit.
Pembahagian ekonomi yang adil dikalangan bangsa tidak menjamin kebahagian mutlak di kalangan rakyat. Idea rakyat sentiasa berlegar untuk memenuhi nafsu peribadi demi kebahagian dan oleh hal yang demikian penyusunan semula formula kebahagian jangka panjang perlu di rangka BN demi kuasa politik berpanjangan.
Apa guna negara aman makmur dan berkerajaan kuat jika tanpa kebahagian rakyat sebenar.
Cheers,
Awang
Salam Tun,
Still ppl want to gelarkan dia Bapa Demokrasi!! Apa ni??!! kalau takder yang sesuai tak payah la….Let it be without gelaran Bapa. What a waste …after 50 years of hardwork by MALAYSIAN ….he destroy it in 5 years!!!I can’t take it…The prosperity of this nation gone just like that. I am so damn piss off right now!!! Sorry tun. Malaysia really need a STRONG leadership. And what he can say when beeing asked … I have a lot of work to do!!!! peegiiii dah…apa pon tarak!!
salam Tun,
I now see glimpses of a silver lining amongst the dark clouds hovering above.UMNO will and must emerge leaner,meaner and stronger after party elections to ensure its political survival.The signs are encouraging.
DSAAB has finally promised to go in March 09.
DSNTR & TSMY has garnered strong support.
And best of all,Dato Mukhriz also garnered very strong grassroot support amongst Pemuda which indicates that Pemuda UMNO members want drastic changes and most still do not succumb to KJ’s will.
I wonder if something fishy is going on in the 20 Pemuda divisions so far that nominated KJ for Youth Head post?
Honestly,what do THEY SEE in KJ?
Contracts? ADUN? Money?
My suspicions are greatly increased by the Pemuda Gelang Patah,Johor voting fiasco.Something rotten is going on that involves corrupted individuals.
If we care to dig deeper into these Pemuda UMNO divisions which support KJ,I’m sure there will be more questions raised to the integrity of certain individuals involved in the voting process.
SEKALI LAGI SAYA BERTANYA KEPADA MEREKA2 INI;
ADAKAH ANDA TERLALU TAKSUBKAN KONTRAK,JAWATAN DAN DUIT HINGGA SANGGUP MENGGADAI MASA DEPAN BANGSA DAN NEGARA?
APAKAH ORANG MELAYU MUDAH GELAP MATA BILA DI SOGOK?
APAKAH MARUAH ORANG MELAYU BOLEH DI JUAL BELI DENGAN MUDAH UNTUK MENDAPATKAN HARTA DUNIA INI?
DI MANA JATIDIRI ANDA?
SANGGUPKAH ANDA DI LABEL ‘PENGKHIANAT BANGSA’?
A strong government led by UMNO is only possible if the leaders are dedicated to the future of the nation and not to money politics.
Wassallam

YBhg Tun. I Believe in principle ‘ You have to be cruel in order to be good. Keep up with a good health. May Allah bless you and your family.
Assalamualaikum, Tun.
Personally for me, UMNO must be strong. Over 90% of Malay must support UMNO and in return UMNO leadership should NOT think how to get rich for themselves! They must think about the members and other Malays’ welfare. They too shall not forget about other races BUT dont give everything (other races) ask.
Malay is tooo kind. And now we see the “results”. Saya berharap bangsa bukan Melayu akan berterima kasih dgn apa yang mereka dapat hari ini.
Tetapi sayangnya, majority of non-Malays seem dont appreciate!
Just look at Party Gerakan. Even UMNO has the majority of state seat at 2004 election, UMNO gave the CM post to Gerakan. But, now when UMNO having leadership problem, Gerakan said, its thinking of leaving BN!
Malay, pls think, THINK.
I am NOT Malay but support the Malay Muslim! MFM
Ayahanda Tun ,
Apabila kerajaan mulai lemah , maka akan andalah bermcm2 tuntutan yg sebelum ini tidak pernah timbul apabila BN kuat . Inilah yg dikatakan sudah naik lemah dan tidak tahu bersyukur apabila dpt ditinggal di M’sia . Saya rasa Insya Allah apabila UMNO dan BN mulai kuat dan dapat mengatasi pelbagai masalah sekrang tmsk krisis ekonomi sy rasa patut ada rang undang2 baru digubal iaitu mana2 pihak yg menimbulkan isu tentang agama dan hak keistimewaan org2 Melayu akan diberi amaran sebelum hak kewarganegaraan dicabut . Hak untuk mencabut kewarganegaraan akan diserahkan kpd budibicara Yg Dipertuan Agong .
Wassalam .
Tun,
Ever in agreeable with your ideas. No body and no countries dares to make any wrong moves during your Premiership days.Now is the opposite everybody and countries knows of this fumble goverment of Malaysia.AAB does not create any boundaries for such sensitivity, and tries to please everyone,and thus the results shown as highlighted. Malaysia being a multicultural country with various race & religion, need a strong goverment to administered this sensitive situations. The opposition are able to take and uses this opportunity for their benefits and a weak goverment would fall into this trap as happening now. AAB decide to leave in March 2009. I for sure is in agreement that AAB leaves now or latest by Dec 2008 and giving the new PM and President of UMNO a first Quarter start for 2009 to mend all the wounds that have accured during AAB premiership.Tun your support and guidance on this matter is highly sought and appreciated hopefully by the new elected PM & President of UMNO, BN & Malaysia. Tun Dr. Mahathir as UMNO life honoured Adviser. Salam Tun.
Salam Tun..
Why not you come back and be our PM once more.. Or maybe have your son run for the presidency? How smart is Datuk Najib anyways? I hope history wont repeat itself by having him dominated by his cronies and wives and families.. just like the KJ over Pak Lah all over again. SIgh..
hai tun,
actually what we need right now is a very strong,committed and a honest government.racial base politics are increasing but the commitments of present and also opposition led governments are seemingly blaming each other rather than concentrating on our woes economy that we are facing now.it was not like tun’s day whereby tun was more concentrating on our economy so that malaysians could live on even though there was economy woes.the ministers are more concerned about increasing their wealth and power rather than improving country’s racial issues and economy’s problem.i think that what the present government should do is pick an outstanding PM to bring back our glory days so that malaysia will be peace forever and won’t become like indon,thai,india or n ireland
You are right spot on !
Salam Tun,
I am interested to read more of how you would define “strong government”.
My belief is this: a strong government would do its very best for the Rakyat at large. A government by the Rakyat and for the Rakyat.
Admitted, I am one of your strong follower, to the point of justifying whatever faults there were in your 22 years of administering the country as I believe in your vision and dreams.
They were real to me.
As you would probably have noted from my previous postings in your blog, I fervently hope that you would take things easier in being in the limelight with your comments and remarks.
As human being, our greatest failure is often listening to ourselves. That happens to the best of us.
Do take a breather Tun. You have fought the good fight, and deserves to get some rest before the next crunch what’s with the
global economy at its most depressing.
You’re right (as always) in that the coming months would be crucial for the country with decreasing fuel and CPO – our main exports – price.
I read somewhere that our 2009 budget was near majorly from these sources. can’t remember where exactly, but if that is the case, how will we finance our development next year?
PS: In India, Hindu’s are forcing Christians to convert. An they label Islam as extreme. 🙂 Hopefully we’ll never see such things here though.
Dear Tun, One of the key objectives of Vision 2020 is national unity. However, in the last four years we are not only worse off economically, but the country has also suffered in its racial harmony. Reading the various blogs one could feel the racial and religious issues that have been highlighted, which, to a relatively neutral individual, makes him feel so dissilusioned and disgusted that the efforts of earlier leaders towards achieving this unity have been seriously damaged. However, I am glad that we have wise leaders like your goodself who are willing to speak up and positive effects have resulted from them.
We cannot give up the aspiration to achieve ethnic harmony. Each one of us has to do our part. With the right ‘nawaitu’,simple acts/greetings that come from a sincere heart can contribute in a long way in bridging mutual respect among us.
Assalamualaikum Tun,
Its correct. Semua orang hidup nak jaga periuk nasi but they failed to realize that a stable government would menjamin periuk nasi masing2… tapi kalau nak makan lebih, kenalah tingkatkan usaha dan guna strategi yang betul.
Sudahakan Tun membaca report Larouchepac di bawah. Kepada semua penyokong Tun silalah baca report berkenaan.

Yg Bhg Tun,
To answer to your subject – Do we need a strong government? My straight answer is a big YES! Weak government will leads to many unresolved problems. A perfect example is our present BN goverment.
On the other hand, allow me to list down several issues which I think most of us is hungry for your elucidation:
1. Your reverse psychology issue on KJ vs. Mukhris. You said in one of your article that KJ will surely win hands down against your son Mukhris for the Youth Chief post. But todayâs result shows that your son is very well ahead on nominations compared to KJâs. I am now inclined to believe that you always used your reverse psychology methodology in your articles so that whoever reads your articles especially the prominent politicians will act against your predictions and/or desire. Thus, your desire is fulfilled.
2. Regarding Paklahâs successor DS Najib. Most commentators irregardless of political inclination said that Najib is a liability to UMNO owing to his many issues and scandals.
3. Regarding an article by UIAâs law professor, Dr Abd Aziz Bari on the prerogative of YDP Agong to dissolve parliament and elect a new government.
4. Regarding Anwarâs claim on his intention @ ability to form a new government.
5. Regarding Hindrafâs action during Paklahâs Hari Raya Open House.
6. Regarding Bar Councilâs action on ISA.
7. Regarding the current tussle on UMNOâs Deputy and Vice Presidentâs posts.
I am sure with your vast experience in politics, everyone is hungry for more of your piece of mind.
Salam, are you referring to our current PM or Current Cabinet or The Three major components.
Comment sikit tentang Jambatan Singapura. Whether still viable to pursue under Najib.
Assalamualaikum Tun
I 100% agreed with you Tun so after pak lah stepped down, we the rakyat would like to welcome you back in UMNO and help us to lead this beloved country back on track towards vision 2020. I still believed then and I still believe now that Tun can contribute towards a better future in achieving vision 2020 if only the next prime minister would take the time and effort to listen to what Tun Dr Mahathir has to say and see his ideas towards nation building, well after all there is nothing to lose and a whole lot to gain.
Well, Tun good luck and may Allah bless us all. aminnnn
Assalamualaikum Tun….
Saya bersetuju dengan ape yg tun nyatakan di atas…sy sebagai rakyat malaysia pada hari ini sgt kecewa dengan ape yang berlaku di dalam negara kita…perpecahan sesama bangsa dan kaum telah berlaku disebabkan kenyataan pihak2 yg tidak bertanggungjawab dimana isu berkaitan kaum dibangkitkan..walhal sejak dari era tun masalah ini tidak pernah terjadi…mengapakah isu perkauman perlu dibangkitkan??apakah yang akan diperolehi sekiranya ini terjadi???rakyat juga yang akan menerima akibat dari semua yg berlaku..sepatutnya masalah ni perlu diatasi dengan segera..saya mahu negara kita aman dan damai dan perpaduan antara semua kaum menjadi erat..diharapkan bakal pemimpin yg baru akan segera menyelesaikan mslah ini agar ianya tidak menjadi barah di dalam negara ini…sy jg harap agar tun akan memberi lebih banyak komen yang membangun seterus membawa negara kita ke arah yang lebih baik dari sebelumnya seterusnya keharmonian di negara akan terjamain..
Saya juga berdoa agar Tun dan sekeluarga sentiasa berada dalam keadaan yang sihat sejahtera serta dilindungi oleh ALLAH hendaknya…
Kami generasi muda Malaysia perlukan pemimpin yang unggul dan berkarisme seperti Tun Dr Mahathir. Kami tidak perlukan pemimpin yang hanya tahu ‘sedia mendengar’ tetapi tidak ada tindakan yang strategik dan konkrit. Kami berdoa agar Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir dapat menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia dalam tempoh 10 tahun dari sekarang. Semoga impian akan menjadi kenyataan dengan izin Allah swt.
Salam Tun,
Malaysia sudah kehilangan Seorang Pemimpin yang Berani…
Saya harap Tun dapat menjadi Penasihat Kepada Kerajaan Malaysia..
Wassalam..
The relationship between races are actually quite good in Malaysia. I have many friends of other races and we tolerated with each other well. The problem arises when Tun and UMNO’s other wannabe leaders started to use the race card to stimulate the popularity among malays. Whether you want to agree in it or not is of your own interpretations. Although Pak Lah may be seen as weak, at least he has not a bad heart if compared to many affiliated leaders. He will not use race issues to boost up his popularity. This may be his weakness but he is a nicer guy if in comparison.
SALAM TUN SEKELUARGA..

Assalamualaikum YABhg Tun.
Saya amat bersetuju dengan pandangan YABhg Tun bahawa Malaysia memerlukan sebuah kerajaan yang disokong dengan majoriti besar.
Kerajaan yang lemah bukan sahaja mudah digugat, malahan kedudukan ekonomi juga terancam.
Orang Melayu mesti menguasai politik supaya dapat mengimbangi penguasaan ekonomi oleh kaum lain. Oleh kerana politik lemah maka harga barang sekarang melambong tinggi tanpa kawalan. Kita boleh ramalkan peristiwa buruk akan berlaku sekiranya satu-satu kaum menguasai semua.
Parti pembangkang, HINDRAFT dan segelintir parti komponen BN telah naik lemak menuntut pelbagai perkara dan mendakwa kononnya merekatelah ditindas. Mereka mula tunjuk kononnya merekalah pejuang bangsa mereka yang teraniaya. Mereka memperjuangkan hak asasi manusia yang kononnya selama ini terabai. Mereka menentang ISA supaya mereka bebas bertindak tanpa batasan. Mereka berani menggunakan isu kebebasan ugama bagi mengecam amalan agama Islam.
Mereka amat sedih apabila DSAAB mengumumkan tidak mempertahankan jawatan Presiden UMNO. Mereka menobatkan DSAAB sebagai bapa demokrasi baru padahal mereka kalah teruk dalam PRU12.
Tahniah kerana Dato’ Mukhriz berjaya melepasi kouta bagi bertanding untuk jawatan Ketua Pemuda UMNO. Kalau KJ tak melepasi kouta boleh lah Dato’ Mukhriz menang tanpa bertanding.
Semoga YABhg Tun sekeluarga dirahmati Allah.
Salam Tun….
Benar apa yg Tun nyatakan….
anyway…nak ucapkan Selamat Hariraya Aidilfitri kepada Tun dan keluarga..

assalamualaikum tun …
I live in jakarta for working & just having my holiday in malaysia recently . I could see all my family member + friends nowadays are trying to reduce what ever expenses that unnescessary . It’s good actually but the HARI RAYA mood look a bit ‘hambar’ .
Bila dah ramai berkumpul tu semua org pun akan bercerita . Dan ofcourse cerita nya pasal politik & ekonomi negara kita . Yelah barang naik tapi gaji x naik . Camno nak hidup kan .. Tapi bagi I yang paling penting ialah ‘strong leadership’ . i mean that if we do have strong leadership automatically we have a better government or strong government . So i do hope that our malaysian people could choose really strong candidate for them . Especially UMNO ‘pemilihan’ is just around the corner . Choose the one is strong . Fikirlah untuk masa depan anda ..
indeed we need to have a strong government, with voice and support enjoyed from the people. by all means, any subversion law must prevail.
a strong government must come from a strong party. will umno become strong under najib?

Salam Tun Yang Disayangi..
I agree with you 100%..since the march election, our goverment is very weak due to not getting two-third of the seat in parliament. With Opposition everyday making a “disturbance” to our beloved country everyday, investor has pull out all their investment and left our country with nothing to invest.
And the worst is the opposition is the one who who is blaming our economy.(dah buat tak sedar diri) I just hope our country manage to deal with the global economy turmoil.
Last but not least, my congrate to Datuk Mukriz for enough nomination to contest for the UMNO Youth.
Salam Tun,
Saya teringat semasa lawatan Tun ke Johor Bahru pada tahun 1999/2000, di Kediaman menteri Besar Johor, Tun bercakap perkara yang serupa. Kalau saya orang biasa faham tentang perkara ini, hairan kenapa pemimpin macam tak faham.
Satu lagi saya ingat Tun cakap, “it is better to have a little bit of something, rather than the whole of nothing”.
Salam Tun,
Pengumuman untuk tidak mempertahankan jawatan Presiden Umno telah membuktikan bahawa Pak Lah telah membuka gelanggang pertandingan yang sebenar bagi seluruh jawatan yang dipertandingkan. Alhamdulillah, saya berpendapat Pak Lah adalah seorang pejuang yang amat peka dengan perkembangan semasa politik tanahair. Beliau benar-benar seorang pejuang dan pendekar Melayu tulen. Senang rasanya apabila saya dapat melihat terutama pertandingan merebut jawatan Ketua Pemuda Umno khasnya yang melibatkan anak Tun, Datuk Mukhriz dan Saudara Khairy Jamaluddin. Mereka berdua merupakan anak muda yang cukup bersungguh dalam memperjuangkan agenda Umno dalam negara Malaysia tercinta ini. Harapan saya semoga kedua-dua mereka selalu bersyukur jika menang dan tidak berputus asa jika kalah. Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban. Wassalam.
Assalamualaikum Tun
What we need is a strong nation, with a good leader, no matter who lead the government. The government @ leader is merely reflecting the kind of rakyat we have in Malaysia.
Y.BHG TUN,
MEMANG BENAR KATA Y.BHG TUN TERSEBUT, HARAPAN SAYA AGAR SEMUA MASALAH TERKINI DAN DATANG AKAN DAPAT DISELESAIKAN OLEH PENGANTI Y.A.B DATO NAJIB. RAKYAT AMAT MENGHARAPKAN PERUBAHAN YANG BESAR PADA PIMPINAN BARU.AMAT BERHARAP Y.BHG TUN DAPAT MEMBIMBING Y.A.B DATO NAJIB UNTUK MEMNAWA NEGARA KITA PADA LANDASAN YANG BETUL.

Assalamualaikum…
saya setuju Tun.. sekarang nie dah banyak sangat pihak yang bangkit menentang apa saja tindakan kerajaan…bijak pandai merasakan mereka harus bersuara sedangkan tindakan sebegini kadangkala hanya mengeruhkan keadaan..keadaan begini tak berlaku masa zaman Tun dulu….
anyway, apa komen Tun tentang pemberian pangkat Datuk Shah rUKH kHAN?
