THE GARLAND OF SLIPPERS


1. I have been asked again and again by the Press about what I felt regarding the garland of slippers suggested by an MIC member.

2. My reply is that it really is nothing new. As a politician one has to accept this kind of insult.

3. For example after I stepped down Umno leaders vilified me because I criticised Abdullah’s decision on the bridge and other things. I did not complain then and no one openly condemned the Umno leaders for insulting me. They feared that it might displease the Prime Minister. In other words condemning me was acceptable; it was not a sign of disrespect for a so-called elder statesman. Why should it be any different now.


4. Before the 2008 elections I had told a foreign TV station that the MIC would perform badly because of Samy Vellu. And he did. I think I am justified in saying that Samy should retire.

5. In Malaysia a politician can be a total failure but he would never think of resigning. In other countries Ministers would commit suicide if some tragedy happens in their Ministry. But not in Malaysia. Here you can destroy the whole country and you’ll get honorary doctorates for doing so.

6. The MIC should remember that there is not a single constituency with a predominantly Indian population. The MIC, a race-based party cannot contest in any constituency in Malaysia.

7. But to ensure the Indians get a say in the Government the BN had to allocate predominantly Malay constituencies to the MIC and then persuade the Malay voters to support the MIC candidate. The Malay voters did not like it but the Umno leaders had to persuade them.

8. When the MIC does things which would make it difficult for Malay voters to support its candidates, I think it is fair for a Malay to criticise. This could be done quietly by the leaders of BN. Others, including ex-leaders do not have that closed door access. They have to shout out aloud. So I shouted.

9. For almost 50 years the coalition of parties had done well in elections. That was due to their helping each other. But even so each must be generally acceptable. If their leaders forget this, the key success factors would be lost. They would lose.

  1. Assalamu’alaikum Tun
    On this auspicious occasion, I wish you and your family a “Selamat Hari Raya serta pohonan maaf zahir batin dari saya” Kindly allow me to comment on “THE GARLAND OF SLIPPERS”
    There’s a Malay saying which says; “CAKAP SIANG PANDANG-PANDANG, CAKAP MALAM DENGAR-DENGAR.” It simply means that we need to be careful in what we say in order not to hurt anybody’s feelings for what had been said is difficult to be retracted. It could then result in unwanted scenarios, eg., uneasiness, arguments, fights etc
    He had won many elections in Sg Siput when you headed BN as President. For umpteen years he had won the elections in Sg Siput with persuaded votes from the Malay voters. During your tenure as PM, he sang praises of you, if you could still recall, to such an extent saying, “UMNO dan MIC adik beradik.”
    What hurts us Malays most (if not you) and after all these years of support that you and the Malays had given him, he has the guts to announce publicly that he would ‘garland you with slippers’.
    As a leader, he should know that what had been said cannot be simply retracted as the hornet’s nest had been provoked and as such, the apology is nothing but a piece of paper.
    For a very long time, SAMY VELU as head of MIC has been a LIABILITY not only to BN, but the rakyat too. The rakyat had to bear the burden for the umpteen years until it became too heavy and it was time to relinquish him, as shown in the general election.
    Never did Samy Velu listen, nor does he learns. Why?
    Because SAMY VELU is a very ARROGANT, UNGRATEFUL and UNFAITHFUL swine

  2. Dear Tun, salam Hari Raya Aidil Fitri moga sihat sejahtera selalu. Minta izin menjawab seorang pengunjung..
    Menjawab sdr ‘JaneTI’ on September 29, 2009 12:06 AM. Thank you for your interest and noting my comments.
    ………….COMMON INTENTION AND DIFFERENT IDEALS
    PR common interests I agree with are providing an alternative coalition govt, fighting Umno corruption, anti supremacist policies, injustices against rakyat (ISA, tainted judiciary) and power abuse by some Umno invincibles.
    …………RACE BASED AND RACE RESTRICTION
    In spirit and on paper they are not race based (membership open to all races). If other races dont want to join them and accuse them race based, I dont fault them entirely. At least they tried compared to others who write into their constitutions other races not welcome.
    Even if their struggle is race biased, it is due to their support base not racial supremacist intentions.
    …………BICKERING AND HARMONY
    Goodwill and harmony prevails when top leaders are able to sort matters without having to gag or demand sackings of each others national leaders. The downlines can bicker (like siblings do) but when the parents step in, all clear the way.
    Not like Pak Lah who cannot control a division head or Tun who muzzles and subdues coalition parners or Najib who is becoming an adept magician (make your eyes focus on his mouth while his hands do something else)

  3. Salam Tun
    I believe the man has apologized to you (and so has Sammy Vellu) so let bygones be bygones. For me it is easy to understand the situation. As a powerful leader enjoying many luxuries in life (as behove that position), it is probably very difficult for Sammy to find the strength to step down. It is as simple as that. Also for the supporter who suggested you the garland of slippers, he is probably very fanatically inclined to support Sammy and unable to reason things properly, that is why such words come out of his mouth. Of course you are right and you had the strength to resign and also many other leaders. And also leave behind the many priveleges that came with it. Good for you. May Allah SWT continue to give you strength and show you the True Path.
    This is the fallacy of Malaysian politics. With position comes power and too much comfort. You should restructure the Malaysian political scene so that it is more like PAS – Nik Abdul Aziz still leaves in a wooden hut. Also see Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He still leaves a humble life in humble surroundings despite being Iranian PM. This is why these people can lead effectively without fear or favour but I must congratulate you for also leading a reasonably “medium” lifestyle despite 22 years as Malaysian (ex) PM. Well done.

  4. Salam aidil fitri buat tun n keluarga
    Saya nak sentuh para 7 dan 8 dalam tulisan tun buat kali ni. kalu ikut majoriti, memang tak ada kawasan yg calon MIC boleh tanding dlm pilihanraya. tapi kerana kemurahan hati UMNO, maka UMNO dengan rasa berat hati memberi laluan kpd calon MIC. juga kerana kerja kuat tukang kempen dan pemimpin UMNO, maka ahli2 UMNO dengan rasa berat tangan telah memangkah calon drp MIC. Pada hal calon yg bertanding lawan calon MIC tu, bukannya orang lain dengan para penyokong UMNO di kawasan tu, sedara sebangsa dan seagama. cuma beza dari segi pegangan politik jer .. dia dari parti PAS. tu dia betapa besarnya pengorbanan ahli UMNO kepada sedara yg tak sebangsa dan tak seagama dengan mereka sampai mereka sanggup membiarkan calon PAS yg memang sebangsa dan seagama dengan mereka “rebah tersungkur menyembah bumi”. itu lah warna sebenar makluk yang bergelar me-layu. apakah makluk ini akan “layu” ditanah air sendiri satu hari nanti .. minta2 jangaaaaannnnn laaa. SERRRAAAAAMMMMMMM…..
    Memang tun tak rasa apa2 bila depa nak bagi kalungan kasut. tapi saya tak boleh terima. satu penghinaan kpd seorang pemimpin bangsa melayu, apa lagi tun banyak berjasa kepada orang melayu dan negara. apa perasaan depa, kalau akan ada dikalangan ahli UMNO yang mencadangkan samy velu juga layak menerima kalungan kasut sebagai mana tun. agak2 tun .. depa marah tak ?

  6. ASM Tun,
    Harap saya tidak terlambat untuk mengucapkan Eid Mubarak kepada Tun dan keluarga.
    Di sini saya teruja dengan komen saudara Zidane mengenai keadaan di Sarawak dengan kisah KMS. Saya juga anak kelahiran Sarawak dan segala apa yg saudara Zidane katakan adalah serupa yang terbuku di hati saya termasuklah cerita nasib rakan2 sebaya di Sarawak berkaitan dengan cita-cita dan peluang masa depan yang lebih cerah.
    Bagi saya, melihat Sarawak dr perspektif pembangunan ekonomi dan sosial, Sarawak sememangnya ‘beroperasi di bawah kapasiti’ yang sepatutnya. Apa yang saya doakan adalah Sarawak diuruskan mengikut kapasiti yang sepatutnya pada masa depan supaya anak cucu saya dan rakan2 sebaya tidak perlu berhijrah ke Semenanjung untuk peluang pekerjaan, karier dan perniagaan yang lebih adil dan baik; seperti ala2 filem ‘In pursuit of happiness’ di mana sesiapa saja boleh mengejar cita2 apabila peluang diberikan sama rata tidak mengira kulit dan latar belakang keluarga.
    Sebelum saya berundur, ingin juga saya keutarakan cadangan supaya menteri2 Sarawak dinilai mengikut sistem KPI yang telus, supaya rakyat Sarawak dapat menilai keikhlasan menteri2 ini bekerja untuk rakyat bukan untuk diri sendiri.

  7. Dear Tun,
    Allow me to ask a question to S. Tan.
    Dear Sir,
    I want to qoute what you write :
    ” PR formula is very diverse outside but common interest inside. Racial wrangling in the face but goodwill and harmony in the heart ”
    Could you please tell me :
    1. PR common interest.
    2. Is PR not race based too ?
    3. Examples of goodwill and harmony in the PR.
    Thank you.

  8. “Here you can destroy the whole country and you’ll get honorary doctorates for doing so.”
    Hahaha…I like your statement above, Tun! But, as usual Tun, you are still right in this issue. Many of us, especially our politicians, both from ruling party and opposition, are still not civic enough. In fact, there is an extremely low level of civility in everything in this beloved country. Ironically, we have lots of “educated people”.

  10. Dear Tun
    You have been an inspiration to me since my school days.
    I just want to tell you that a lot of indians dont like
    Samy velu and i dont why he just dont get that.
    He said that he respects you like a father or an elder brother
    so why can’t he listen to you now and get lost.
    He took a lot from the Indians and made he and his family fat.

  11. Selamat Hari Raya Tun,
    The “garland of slippers” would fit Samy Vellu very well for being a disappointment to BN in general and to the Indian community in particular. However, his vise-like grip on MIC remains for some strange reasons. Who’s to blame? Tun has done his part of telling the man off. Perhaps Najib should be more forthright now!
    For the guy who got doctorates for destroying the country, he’s one shameless fellow. “According to me” (to borrow a phrase from a friend from India), the ‘Tun’ships especially, were downright undeserved. How, pray tell, after 6 years of utter destruction of the Malay political supremacy, can he even be considered for the highest honour in Tanah Melayu??? But, the garland of slippers? Yes, that would be the ultimate accolade he so richly deserves.
    Maaf Zahir Batin!

  12. Dear Tun,
    Masa tu pemimpin UMNO tak sedar diri. Semuanya tengah “high”. Semua membodek Pak Lah. Pak Lah kentut pun mereka kata wangi. Itulah perangai pemimpin UMNO. Nah, sekarang mereka baru tahu langit dengan bumi!!
    Pak Lah ialah orang yang bertanggong jawab membuat UMNO tonggang terbalik. Dia khayal semasa jadi Perdana Mentri macam orang lupa daratan. Tersentak kerana dilanda oleh kejutan budaya hinggakan dia terbawa-bawa dengan kuasa yang ada padanya seolah-olah dunia ini dialah yang punya. Akhirnya tombang berkecai pimpinannya jadi haprak dan HP6 !!

  13. Salam dan Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri,
    Saya ingin mengucapkan Syabas dan tahniah kepada Tun kerana berani bercakap perkara yang benar. Memang diakui, hampir keseluruhan kaum india tidak berminat dengan Samy Vellu (SV). Kebanyakan mereka cuma berpura pura dihadapan untuk mendapatkan sesuatu. Ia sama juga ketika Tun menjawat jawatan perdana menteri dahulu. Kesemua menteri boleh dikategorikan kaki bodek cuma sebahagiannya bekerja demi bangsa dan agama. Akan tetapi satu perkara yang muskilkan saya adalah:
    1) Kenapa Tun tidak membuat komen mengenai Ketua Meneteri Sarawak (KMS) sekarang.? sedangkan beliau juga telah duduk dikerusi empuk tersebut lebih lama daripada Tun sendiri. Saya sebagai anak jati sarawak sendiri melihat perkara ini. Kalau kita lihat kekuatan KMS sekarang lebih kepada masyarakat peribumi sarawak iaitu Melanau. Hampir kesemua anak melayu sarawak tidak menyokong kepimpinan KMS atas sebab kronism. Kesemua projek dibolot oleh saudara mara beliau sendiri dari projek pasang khemah hinggalah projek besar. Saya telah menetap di semenanjung hampir 15 tahun sebaik sahaja saya graduate. Ini adalah kerana tenaga kerja amat diperlukan disini. Kalau Tun lihat di Sarawak sendiri….berapa banyak kah syarikat swasta yang melabur di sarawak?…..Jawapan yang boleh saya berikan ialah amat kurang sekali. Kita lihat sektor komunikasi. Setiap kerja kerja pemasangan menara pemancar, haruslah melalui syarikat yang berkait rapat dengan KMS (Rasanya tak perlu lah saya beritahu nama syarikat tersebut). Dalam 15 tahun saya bekerja dan menetap di semenanjung…tak banyak perubahan yang berlaku di sarawak. Rakan sebaya saya masih lagi bekerja sebagai penghantar surat dan masih lagi menunggu kerja kerja di Jabatan Kerajaan Negeri. Syarikat Swasta pulak tak banyak di sana dan boleh dikira dengan jari. Sarawak adalah negeri yang kaya dengan sumber asli tetapi jalan raya menghubungkan miri ke kuching masih lagi berbatu batuan dan masih lagi satu laluan pergi dan balik. Heran sungguh.
    2) Pilihanraya Dewan Undangan Negeri lalu telah melihat kekuatan KMS menerusi undian kaum melanau. Sewaktu beliau di Kota Samarahan, majoritinya melayu sarawak telah melihat kemerosotan undian dan menyebabkan beliau terus berhijrah ke Mukah untuk mendapatkan sokongan. Tun sendiri berada di parlimen kubang pasu pun lama.
    Saya berharap Tun komen sikit mengenai pentadbiran di Negeri Sarawak. Saya tak mahu Sarawak ketinggalan jauh dengan negeri negeri yang lain.

  14. YABhg Tun,
    Samy Villu used to be part of the pillars of the BN’s house so to speak. That pillar, through the years had gotten ” rotten ” and need replacing. That’s how I look at it….plain and simple!
    And, as for those slippers….I think there is no need for us to tell that MIC member where it should be rightly hung..???? You pikirlah sendiri….

  17. Salam Tun
    Satu perkara yang memang saya hormat Tun sangat2 berbanding ahli2 politik yang lain iaitu Tun tak cepat melatah dan emosi…saya tetap sokong sangat Tun..tak perlu layanlaa perangai pemimpin kebudak2kan tue Tun..saya setuju benarlah..yang malu dia, reputasi Tun langsung tak tercela bahkan lagi meningkat tinggi..itu beza pemimpin2 kerajaaan berbanding Pakatan Rakyat..Rasanya dah tak sesuai panggil PR kot..lepas nie panggil Perosak Rakyat..baru sesuai..banyak beza pemimpin PR dengan kerajaan..dan melihat kepada ramainya datang ke Jamuan Aidilfitri di Seri Perdana semalam…saya yakin rakyat dah mula tolak PR..dan saya yakin PR hanya jadi mat jenin sahaja Tun..kalau Samy Velu turun ada dua pemimpin kaum India yang dihormati kini..pertama, Subramaniam yang kalah hari tue..dan kedua Devamany..ini dua pemimpin India yang dihormati..Palanivel rasanya amat2 tak sesuai kerana dia kalah teruk hari PRU-Ke 12..UMNO dah mula pulih dah..kalau ambil pendekatan basmi rasuah..buang KJ dan buang pemimpin2 yang terlibat rasuah dan tidak dicalonkan menjadi pemimpin seperti Isa Samad..Buang juga pemimpin2 yang berlagak…arrogant..Insyaallah UMNO pulih..
    MCA akan lalui EGM pada 10 oktober ini..dan saya bersetuju chua soi lek digantung walau pada asal dibuang..kerana pemimpin tidak bermoral akan hancurkan persepsi rakyat..budaya Malaysia kebanyakkan orang tidak boleh terima terutama masyarakat Melayu..
    Parti2 komponen BN yang lain juga bertambah kukuh, PR tak akan bermaharajalela seperti sikap yang kebudak2kan yang ditunjukkan di Perak..di Selangor..ini tidak cukup dengan perangai fanatik penyokong2 mereka.
    Berbanding dengan pemimpin Perosak Rakyat..Tun..ada beza amat sangat:
    1) Anwar Ibrahim..hanya pandai bercakap tetapi kosong otak..sebab jika langsung tidak boleh menerima kritikan..kerjanya asyik nak saman orang sahaja..Tun tak pernah saman sesiapa sepanjang umur Tun dalam politik..Anwar ini terpengaruh dengan gaya barat..silap sikit saman..saman..akhirnya bila orang bawa kes dia kat mahkamah..dia pulak yang mengelak..inikah pemimpin yang sebenar??
    2) Lim Kit Siang dan pemimpin2 DAP..juga mengamalkan nepotisme kerana dari menantu, anak pinak semua terlibat dalam politik..macam takde sapa yang layak..Mukhris anak Tun terlibat selepas Tun bersara..takpelaa..so macam KJ pun patut dibuang..kerana naik waktu zaman Pak Lah..lagi satu Lim Kit Siang dan pemimpin2 DAP laung2 kebebasan bersuara padahal cuba laa posting comment yang bukan2 kat blog dia..jawapnya tak masuk2 Tun..Tun pulak sapa sahaja boleh kritik Tun..termasuklah S..Tan..Saya nak tanya kat S..Tan dan cuba dia kritik Lim Kit Siang macam dia kritik Tun..jawapannya jangan haraplah posting masuk dalam blog Lim Kit Siang..jadi adakah ini pemimpin2 yang kita mahu menerajui negara Tun???Bercakap pandai..hak sana hak sini..padahal bila kritik diaorang tak boleh terima..tak layak langsung jadi pemimpin..Tun, cara diaorang nie macam pemimpin2 PAP Singapura..kritik sumbat dalam penjara..kritik lagi ambil tindakan mahkamah..di Malaysia ada ker sesiapa yang disaman oleh pemimpin negara BN apabila mengkritik???takde bukan…
    3) Pemimpin Pas..ada yang baik..tapi sikap fanatik dan ekstrim yang suka melaknat dan mekafirkan orang satu sifat yang memburukkkan keadaan…Ini tidak termasuk penyokong2 mereka yang buta hati..pekak telinga apabila dikritik..seolah2 apa yang diaorang buat adalah terbaik terhebat dan terbagus..orang lain buat paling lekeh..satu lagi sifat diaorang suka maki hamun orang seperti suka menggelar orang MAHAFIRAUN dan sebagainya..Tun dapat pahala banyak Tun setiap kali diaorang maki Tun dengan pelbagai2 gelaran..ditambah lagi Tun sabar..orang yang sabar lagilah bertambah pahala..jadi apakah Imej Islam yang ingin dibawa oleh PAS dengan perangai mereka yang suka memaki hamun, menfitnah orang dan sebagainya..lagi sekali mereka tidak lagi menjadi pemimpin negara..lebih2 lagi sanggup membuang prinsip Islam semata2 nak tunjuk toleransi dengan pemimpin2 DAP yang kita tahu “langkah mayat aku dulu”..nak mintak bersatu padu bawah Islam dengan pemimpin2 Islam lain dikatakan perangkap..inilah sifat orang yang sentiasa buruk sangka dan syak wasangka kat sesama Islam..adakah benar2 mereka berlandaskan kepada Islam Tun..hanya Allah sahaja yang mengetahui hati2 mereka….
    Tun tak payahlah kisah sifat2 pemimpin macam nie Tun..pemimpin2 sekarang kena belajar cara Tun berpolitik..menangani provokasi dan tidak melatah dan emosi pada masa sama tidak mengambil sebarang tindakan, dan tidak maki hamun, menfitnah..dan akhirnya menunjukkan betapa Tun memang pemimpin yang ulung dengan penuh kesabaran..biarlah 1000 orang mengkritik Tun..tapi kalau Tun dipihak benar..tidak perlulah dirisaukan…
    Salam Aidilfitri Tun..pagi2 saya posting message Tun..lepas nie nak beraya rumah kawan2..semoga Tun bergembira dan sentiasa sabar terhadap sebarang ujian..

  18. salam aidil fitri kepada Tun dan keluarga….
    Satu sifat yang terpuji adalah bersabar dan tun telah menunjukkan sejak akhir-akhir ini terlalu banyak yang telah LUPA… kagum kerana Tun masih lagi bersabar….
    Bagi saya apa yang Tun nyatakan adalah benar kerana Tun sekarang melihat dari kaca mata sebagai pengundi dan bukannya orang yang ada kuasa, tetapi orang yang tiada kuasa masih menggunakan taktik lama untuk memancing pengundi. Peliknya… pengikut dia masih lagi ikut buta….kesian…

  21. Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri Tun dan Sekeluarga,
    Salam sejahtera Tun,
    You’ve said your pieces and as always, there’s gonna be some-one’s got pissed-off..!!
    When you says’s something…or rather ‘shout’ as you may..!! To that “Ungrateful” species of one of the BN partner’s..!!
    Further more that ‘Big Boss’ of that particular party. He is seem as one untouchable and does no wrong in his party members eye’s…!!
    Well Tun, in this country you are the only one very person who could says some thing that may be a concern to them..!!
    As for me, you are still very much relevant to the BN’s and the country at large..!! Your word’s still does carry weight and are accounted for (in) silently by many!!
    I would like to hear any of those “hero Tamil” come out and shout as they may or rebuke the statements in this posting . In particular of the No: 6,7& 8..!! Please deny the Facts presented in the above posting, if there were any..!!
    We too, would like to hear your side of stories…my dear “Thambi” brother’s..!!
    Tpg RA Bt2 1/2 Simpang.

  22. BTW your comment on Isa was right on the nail. But the fact he got nominated show UMNO’s selection is still corrupt.

  23. I think certain people in UMNO are sending you a message through Samy.
    They don’t have the balls to confront you directly and Samy is ready and willing to please whoever is in power. Last time dia bodek you then bodek Pak Lah and now his sucking up to Najib.
    Samy should be jailed long time ago but he’s good at playing the political game and he’s protected by UMNO.

  24. Dear Tun
    My Best Hari Raya wishes to you.
    I am sure u are well aware that Samy Vellu himself has received slippers thrown at him when he showed his face post Hindraf rally. This man is not going to be accepted anywhere in public, maybe he can only talk among his 1000 off “paid” MIC members. That delegate who came up with that comment probably now realised the slippers actually boomeranged back to him. PADAN MUKA!!!
    From general point of view, BN who is now seeking active internal re-froms ideally must have this “old” had removed. Indians are tired of telling him cara sopan, by elections, by forming new parties, standing against him in MIC, can understand ur intent too. This old man wants to die in office. Never heard of a character this stubborn!!!
    If BN have to kalah in PRU 13, then i say this just fated to be so.

  25. Salam Tun
    BN has always been a coalition of willing partners and money was the glue that kept everyone together. As long as there was money /projects given most parties were willing enough to stick together under UMNO’s lead. Tun most people believe you also use money to coax your opponents back and what money can solve is not really a problem. Only when your opponents were rich enough to want something else i.e. political power that money is simply not enough. PKR people were once in BN and made bundles of money so they were no longer buying your deal. MIC was fed with money but all that went most to top leaders who bought his supporters i.e. cronies in MIC to continue this wheel of fortune. Members want money so “MONEY IN CHARGE” mentality continue to thrive. Good or bad this has been our standard solution to every problem.In the name of national development we bury our difference and forge ahead making more money. Where can opponents go ? BN want to keep everyone so they will buy those opponents within BN to stay with more money again. Today my state is faced with a choice whether we want to play this wheel of fortune? The BN govt is going to build a coal fired power plant most people believe will degrade our quality of life while enriching others. Will money buy us again? Can we trust our TNB to keep the enviroment clean ? Coal technology is dangerous no matter where it is built. Even US and China have accidents. What can we hope from our skilled workforce ? Surely no one wants to cause any tragedy but accidents do happen when nobody keep watch over the long term. How easy it is to forget our responsibility while we continue our money counting. What do Tun think ?

  26. salam Tun,
    Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
    On this auspicious occasion I would like to remind all the sacrifices of our soldiers to defend this country that I love dearly,some people here have tried and insinuated to belittle their sacrifices.
    Remember they were willing to sacrifice their lives so that you can live and prosper in this land of milk and honey.Some of you now have the privilege of criticizing Malays in particular in spite of your wealth and riches attained in a safe and peaceful environment thanks to these soldiers efforts,lest you forget!
    Salam Aidilfitri too to our police force.

  27. I wish we Malaysians use our knowledge acquired from our schools, Universities as well as experiences from life to appreciate that as human being we are weak in our own ways.Pride of life has caused many of us to think as though we are demi-gods and that we can live forever.
    Why cannot the leaders set a good example for the laymen to follow. It appears that the so-called leaders who behave as “beggars” during the election campaign period now think that they are better than the people. The “beggar” knows best how to deceive the gullible donor.
    I wish the so-called leaders continue to enhance their skills and behave as well as lead a life worth emulating.

  29. Askm Tun Mahathir..
    dengan berakhirnya ramadhan dan menjelangnya Syawal saya ingin memohon maaf kepada ayahanda Tun sekeluarga sekiranya ade terkasar bahasa atau tersilap kata..juga kepada semua pembaca blog chedet..terutamanya yang beragama islam…

  30. Salam kepada YAB Tun dan rakan2 bloggers,
    Terlebih dahulu diucapkan Selamat Hari Raya kepada Tun dan semua bloggers muslim.
    1. Samy seorang yang tidak tahu membalas budi dan sanggup gigit tangan yang memberi dia makan dan hidup mewah…dia asalnya dari nobody..
    2. Orang2 India (bukan semua, kerana ada yang grateful)pun macam samy, ungrateful…pun dari nobody juga…
    3. Dari 1955 lagi kaum india diberikan 2 kerusi dalam PRU1, walaupun penduduknya hanyalah 2%. Sekarang pun mau gigit tangan yang memberi.
    4. Betul kata Tun, faktor kaum india berpecah, MIC kalah memang ada faktor samy…tapi si kurang ajar ini punyalah defensif, dia kutuk Tun kata Tun sentiasa ada problem dengan Deputi2 Tun, tapi samy boleh maintain deputi dia walaupun ada problem. Tak sedar dirilah penyamun ni. Begitu jugalah majoriti india yang ada
    5. Samy menyokong hindraf, hindraf hina melayu…jadi samy hina melayu jugalah.
    6. Kaum india di negara ini ada yang dari keturunan banduan2 di india, mungkin itu faktor kerana ramai yang mempunyai tingkah laku tidak sesuai…lepas tu mau disalahkan kerajaan melayu. Tetapi kalau terlibat dalam kes2 gansterism, memanglah secara natural.
    7. Orang2 UMNO yang kutuk Tun dulu pun patut diambil tindakan oleh dollah, tetapi kerana dollah manusia tidak bermaruah, dia lebih menyokong orang2 ini. Najib, watchout, you will get the same treatment from some of these idiots in ur cabinet when u are no more a PM.
    8. Tun ada kekuatan sendiri, bermaruah, itu sebabnya Tun tidak perlu menjadi popular secara murahan. Kalau ada yang tidak kena pada UMNO, BN, Tun memang bersuara kerana itu hak demokrasi Tun, kerana Tun sayangkan UMNO dan BN.
    9. Dollah tidak akan bersuara kerana takut ludah itu jatuh ke muka sendiri. Ciri dia berlawanan, tidak bermaruah, takut kerana bersalah, maka dia berdiam diri…agaknya dalam hati, lantaklah apa nak jadi dengan melayu, UMNO, janji aku tak dikacau. Memang dia tak layak mendapat gelaran Tun, atau doktor kehormat…tapi member dia kat univ yang bagi tu..

  31. Tun, I would like to wish Tun and family Selamat Hari Raya . May this festive season be a happy and memorable one for Tun and family !
    As for the “Garland of slippers”, we the supporters of Tun do not like the way people treats a Statesman. Be assured that politicians who sway their support selfishly for favors and political future are merely a handful.
    Tun, you still command respect and support among us Malaysians for your ideas and contributions on policies and governance.
    Continue the frank and direct talk for the best of Malaysia Tun.
    Salam sejahtera Tun.

  32. Tun,
    Just one or two days before I wish Selamat Hari Raya to you and family.
    Well put of the political scenario here.For those failed and retired leaders who messed up our economy and thereby brought about financial hardship for the people are given a big pension and highest titles.The irony is that we the people still cowtow to them.If we spit at them, I think the current crop would not be so bold to do something so as to wreck the treasury.
    They still go round in KL with head high up and dine and wine with top notch.
    Some got the cheek and are still in the cabinet.
    They screwed up the foreign exchange,airline,port, water,etc.One is now doing the pot is calling the kettle black and buying back RM8 when it can be bought much cheaper in the market.Scumbag.
    It is really a strange way of life here in Malaysia.
    Another issue which is so prominent in the current political scene is “tak ada tulang” or they don’t have any backbone.They are conformists across the board be it Malay,Chinese and Indian,Iban and Dayak.The chinese saying goes like this” the sail follows the direction of the wind’.
    If the leader shouts or give a green light from the top of the hill,the second tier leaders will do their best to comply to please the leader or even gone overboard to the point of abuse of power.I just list a few examples here.
    1)The black eye incident
    2)Why a person can fall off from a building
    3)They (your own former cabinet colleagues)kick your ass when you don’t sit on that chair.
    They saw you strong when you are in authority and so they tug their tails in between their legs and did their choirs.
    Isn’t the above befit the “yesman” or “tak ada tulang” culture of the current time.

  33. Chedet
    let me ask you two questions and given it’s Aidil Fitri – hope you can answer honestly…
    when you were PM, was Samy Velu one of your bosom buddies? What caused the fallout between you and Samy?
    (Ravi)

  34. Tun, I like to comment 2 things you have written:
    1)You were right to mention tht in foreign land, politicians who failed miserably looked inward honestly and then resign from their political party. Worse still, some may commit suicide.
    In our country where some politicians seemed “protected” who have served so long, have never looked at themselves and do a self-analysis. They hve no conscience!!
    2)In Malaysia, leaders who failed miserably were also awarded with honorary doctorates

  35. Dear ParpuKari,
    I really hope you read this.
    1. I assume when you say KJ means current Umno Youth Leader.
    2. Samy was destroying Indian community when TUN was PM.
    3. On last election me and my family voted for PAS because of Samy, MIC, MCA, ABB, KJ, UMNO, Khir Toyo, and everyone in BN.
    5. I know, PR is not capable to run, but do I have a choice.
    6. Now Tun saying Samy is a liability, remember who appointed ABB, who worked for 22-years with Samy.
    7. Tun, was my PM, I have all the right ask him questions. Like you, I also paid my hard earn money to TUN and his minister, to provide me and my family good future.
    8. Now, you just look around, general public (including me) finding very hard to put decent meal on the table, when Raya comes, it’s heart break for unable to provide to family.
    9. Why this is happening, it’s not because of Global Economic, it’s because our leaders forgotten us, PKFZ it’s self cause billion’s.
    10. I am a nobody to comment or humiliate TUN, please read my posting with logic, use your brain, not your back-side.
    11. Everyone was upset when MIC guy said what he said will do.
    12. The point here “Why TUN did not be a PM for all Malaysian, the problem faced my Indian community if left unchecked will cause bigger problem.”
    13. Yes, Samy is a liability, But he has been liability since Tun was PM, Tun should have KICKED Samy out, for the betterment of Malaysia-Indian and BN.

  36. Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri,
    Eid Fitr Mubarak Tun,
    Behind closed doors – UMNO leaders MUST give MIC an ultimatum – Drop Samy Vellu or BN can do without MIC. Take it or leave it. No use keeping company with a group that is a liability and does not WANT TO CHANGE.
    This is part of the strong SIGNAL UMNO must show to the public that UMNO is serious about CHANGING UMNO and BN.
    UMNO need to develop a new crop of technocrates, well educated and suave young base of grass roots. Uproot the old school grassroot leaders and install these new set of leaders.
    Welcome them with open arms. NAJIB at the highest level needs to provide an avenue for these new educated group to join UMNO and contribute toward its perjuangan.
    If the branched and division and Youth leaders try to block the entry of such dynamic people into the fold of UMNO, Najib must find a way to let them (new members) in. Maybe application for membership into UMNO be handles centrally in Putrajaya – with the IT infrastructure available this is not an impossible task to achieve.
    They can also apply on-line and the first place UMNO should advertise for members should be this CHE DET weblog!!!!
    If UMNO wants to CHANGE – this is one of the best ways that can have an immediate effect. It will wake all those old guards UP and sit up..they’d better change or the new wave of well educated, articulate, worldwise members will kick them out.
    And oh yes – out with the quota system. It has served its purpose but now it has become irrelevent. A liability UMNO does not need. DO IT NOW. ANNOUNCE IT. You can immediately see the reaction from the public and their confidence that UMNO wants and means CHANGE.
    SALAM LEBARAN. UMNO FOR CHANGE. REFORM OR BE DOOMED.

  37. We need to be fair to not only our friends but also to our foes. My fair conclusion (which I think is fair)on the MIC is as follows:-
    Indian’ support on MIC has dropped drastically is due to Samy Vellu.
    However, Indians’ support to Barisan Nasional has dropped drastically is due to collective misdeeds of the Barisan Nasional and some of its leaders.

  38. SALAM PENUH KASIH DAN SAYANG

  39. Assalamu`alaikum Tun DM & sekeluarga serta pembaca sekalian,
    selamat hari raya aidil fitri
    Pemimpin perlu bertanggungjawab terhadap apa-apa yang dia lakukan dan mana-mana pemimpin tidak boleh dibenarkan dengan sewenang-wenangnya memegang pendapat bahawa dia betul semuanya dan dengan kuasa (dan duit yang banyak)yang ada padany, ia boleh berbuat sesuka hati dan mempengaruhi mana-mana orang termasuk menentukan pencalonan untuk kedudukan dalam parti, ADUN dan MP mengikut kehendaknya. Maka saya, dapat tidak, bersetuju benar dengan apa yang Tun DM katakan di penulisannya “Hapus Kouta”;
    “Sebenarnya tidak ada sistem yang tidak cacat. Samada sesuatu sistem berkesan atau tidak bergantung kepada pengamalnya. Apabila pengamal dipelbagai peringkat mudah di suap, sistem apa pun tidak akan menghasilkan yang terbaik.”
    Pemimpin2 tidak boleh terlalu over sensitif terhadap apa-apa teguran mengenai kepimpinan mereka apatahlagi dari seorang pemimpin yang berpengalaman dan terbukti keunggulannya dalam meneraju pembangunan, kestabilan dan keharmonian Malaysia. Jika Tun DM pun kena “belasah” kerana tegurannya, apa adanya lagi peluang dan ruang untuk orang kebiasaan?
    Dalam hal ini belum terlambat jika Tun DM menegur juga pencalonan bekas MB Negeri Sembilan di http://www.bharian.com.my/Current_News/BH/Friday/Mutakhir/20090918142353/Article/index_html
    “Jangan calonkan Isa Samad: Dr Mahathir” kerana imej Umno akan terjejas kerana dianggap tidak serius dalam memerangi politik wang sekiranya masih meletakkan mereka yang sudah didapati bersalah dalam rasuah politik sebagai calon. ….”Kalau pun dia (Isa) boleh menang di situ, kena fikir seluruh Malaysia fikir apa terhadap Umno,” katanya dalam temuramah dengan Bernama. …Dr Mahathir berkata walaupun Umno bahagian Teluk Kemang yang diterajui Isa sendiri mahukan dirinya bertanding, mereka perlu ingat bahawa pilihan raya kecil itu bukan melibatkan wakil dari Umno bahagian itu sahaja yang bertanding. ”
    Dr Abdul Rani Kamarudin

    TAK USAH CERITA PASAL SELIPAR LAGI TUN, PIKIR CARA SELAMATKAN UMNO DI PILIHANRAYA AKAN DATANG, RAKYAT ZAMAN SEKARANG TIDAKLAH BODOH MACAM DULU, RAKYAT SUDAH BANGUN DARI TIDUR, MELAYU SUDAH BANGUN DARI MIMPI, MELAYU SEKARANG TAK DIPEDAYA OLEH POLITIK RACIST LAGI, HARAP HARAP PEMIMPIN UMNO JANGAN GUNA POLITIK RACIST LAGI BAGI PANCING HATI MELAYU, NAK SELAMAT UMNO SATU CARA SAHAJA JATUHKAN NAJIB, NAIKAN KULI, ITU SAHAJA.

  42. Aslmkm Tun,
    You have a big heart, always have. It is a rare trait in
    these trying times. You forgive all and you take their
    spite in your stride.
    But the previous prime minister you have not forgiven.
    And that is because he made a mess of the country, the BN
    and UMNO; all that you love so much.
    You are indeed a Patriot all leaders should emulate.

  43. Salam Tun,
    I have only this to say about what’s happening in Malaysian political arena today; That most politicians of this generation “TAK TAU MALU”. Perhaps it’s their bad upbringing. Masha Allah, how can our leaders today be a role model to my children?
    We need to kick all these people hard, and the only way to do it is to make sure they lose, and lose BIG in the next General Election. I have only one vote, but I can also try to influence others around me to teach the present leadership an invaluable lesson!
    To keep on plundering the nation and then hide behind OSA, may Allah punish their souls and not let them see the way back to him!

  44. Selamat Hari Raya Tun dan keluarga,
    I think by right Samy Vellu should commit suicide after the disgrace lost in election. The survival of MIC solely depend on Malay voters and the Indian will vote for DAP or Keadilan.UMNO is too generous to allow them to use Malay voters.The fact is that if MIC won election they will fight for the Indian community although the Malays form the majority vote in their constituencies. Now we should realise that the attitude of Indians, they are good servants but very bad masters. UMNO should not allow them to step on the heads of Malays voters for the benefit of their people.Put them in Indian majority constituencies and if they lost it is not UMNO fault.UMNO has given them too much face.
    You put two Indians in a room ,they will fight. Malays three.

  45. Asalamualaikum Tun,
    Nation knew who is Uncle Samy Vello. In malays we called it ‘serupa Lalang’. Now YES and later NO.
    He was very well accepted in Sg Siput (parlimentary) for those years and I believed the support was mainly from the UMNO @ Malays too. I believed too that Uncle Samy, financially benefited from the post that he held for years.
    Well Uncle Samy, it’s time for you to go don’t bother with what u have planned or discussed with PM.
    To Tun and family ‘Selamat menyambut Hari Raya Aidil Fitri’.

  46. Salam Tun
    Forgive me for copy paste this whole article onto your blog, but it has to be read by everyone…
    The Story of My Shoe
    by Mutadhar al-Zaid
    Mutadhar al-Zaidi, the Iraqi who threw his shoe at George Bush gave this speech on his recent release.
    In the name of God, the most gracious and most merciful.
    Here I am, free. But my country is still a prisoner of war.
    Firstly, I give my thanks and my regards to everyone who stood beside me, whether inside my country, in the Islamic world, in the free world. There has been a lot of talk about the action and about the person who took it, and about the hero and the heroic act, and the symbol and the symbolic act.
    But, simply, I answer: What compelled me to confront is the injustice that befell my people, and how the occupation wanted to humiliate my homeland by putting it under its boot.
    And how it wanted to crush the skulls of (the homeland’s) sons under its boots, whether sheikhs, women, children or men. And during the past few years, more than a million martyrs fell by the bullets of the occupation and the country is now filled with more than 5 million orphans, a million widows and hundreds of thousands of maimed. And many millions of homeless because of displacement inside and outside the country.
    We used to be a nation in which the Arab would share with the Turkman and the Kurd and the Assyrian and the Sabean and the Yazid his daily bread. And the Shiite would pray with the Sunni in one line. And the Muslim would celebrate with the Christian the birthday of Christ, may peace be upon him. And despite the fact that we shared hunger under sanctions for more than 10 years, for more than a decade.
    Our patience and our solidarity did not make us forget the oppression. Until we were invaded by the illusion of liberation that some had. (The occupation) divided one brother from another, one neighbor from another, and the son from his uncle. It turned our homes into never-ending funeral tents. And our graveyards spread into parks and roadsides. It is a plague. It is the occupation that is killing us, that is violating the houses of worship and the sanctity of our homes and that is throwing thousands daily into makeshift prisons.
    I am not a hero, and I admit that. But I have a point of view and I have a stance. It humiliated me to see my country humiliated. And to see my Baghdad burned. And my people being killed. Thousands of tragic pictures remained in my head, and this weighs on me every day and pushes me toward the righteous path, the path of confrontation, the path of rejecting injustice, deceit and duplicity. It deprived me of a good night’s sleep.
    Dozens, no, hundreds, of images of massacres that would turn the hair of a newborn white used to bring tears to my eyes and wound me. The scandal of Abu Ghraib. The massacre of Fallujah, Najaf, Haditha, Sadr City, Basra, Diyala, Mosul, Tal Afar, and every inch of our wounded land. In the past years, I traveled through my burning land and saw with my own eyes the pain of the victims, and hear with my own ears the screams of the bereaved and the orphans. And a feeling of shame haunted me like an ugly name because I was powerless.
    And as soon as I finished my professional duties in reporting the daily tragedies of the Iraqis, and while I washed away the remains of the debris of the ruined Iraqi houses, or the traces of the blood of victims that stained my clothes, I would clench my teeth and make a pledge to our victims, a pledge of vengeance.
    The opportunity came, and I took it.
    I took it out of loyalty to every drop of innocent blood that has been shed through the occupation or because of it, every scream of a bereaved mother, every moan of an orphan, the sorrow of a rape victim, the teardrop of an orphan.
    I say to those who reproach me: Do you know how many broken homes that shoe that I threw had entered because of the occupation? How many times it had trodden over the blood of innocent victims? And how many times it had entered homes in which free Iraqi women and their sanctity had been violated? Maybe that shoe was the appropriate response when all values were violated.
    When I threw the shoe in the face of the criminal, Bush, I wanted to express my rejection of his lies, his occupation of my country, my rejection of his killing my people. My rejection of his plundering the wealth of my country, and destroying its infrastructure. And casting out its sons into a diaspora.
    After six years of humiliation, of indignity, of killing and violations of sanctity, and desecration of houses of worship, the killer comes, boasting, bragging about victory and democracy. He came to say goodbye to his victims and wanted flowers in response.
    Put simply, that was my flower to the occupier, and to all who are in league with him, whether by spreading lies or taking action, before the occupation or after.
    I wanted to defend the honor of my profession and suppressed patriotism on the day the country was violated and its high honor lost. Some say: Why didn’t he ask Bush an embarrassing question at the press conference, to shame him? And now I will answer you, journalists. How can I ask Bush when we were ordered to ask no questions before the press conference began, but only to cover the event. It was prohibited for any person to question Bush.
    And in regard to professionalism: The professionalism mourned by some under the auspices of the occupation should not have a voice louder than the voice of patriotism. And if patriotism were to speak out, then professionalism should be allied with it.
    I take this opportunity: If I have wronged journalism without intention, because of the professional embarrassment I caused the establishment, I wish to apologize to you for any embarrassment I may have caused those establishments. All that I meant to do was express with a living conscience the feelings of a citizen who sees his homeland desecrated every day.
    History mentions many stories where professionalism was also compromised at the hands of American policymakers, whether in the assassination attempt against Fidel Castro by booby-trapping a TV camera that CIA agents posing as journalists from Cuban TV were carrying, or what they did in the Iraqi war by deceiving the general public about what was happening. And there are many other examples that I won’t get into here.
    But what I would like to call your attention to is that these suspicious agencies — the American intelligence and its other agencies and those that follow them — will not spare any effort to track me down (because I am) a rebel opposed to their occupation. They will try to kill me or neutralize me, and I call the attention of those who are close to me to the traps that these agencies will set up to capture or kill me in various ways, physically, socially or professionally.
    And at the time that the Iraqi prime minister came out on satellite channels to say that he didn’t sleep until he had checked in on my safety, and that I had found a bed and a blanket, even as he spoke I was being tortured with the most horrific methods: electric shocks, getting hit with cables, getting hit with metal rods, and all this in the backyard of the place where the press conference was held. And the conference was still going on and I could hear the voices of the people in it. And maybe they, too, could hear my screams and moans.
    In the morning, I was left in the cold of winter, tied up after they soaked me in water at dawn. And I apologize for Mr. Maliki for keeping the truth from the people. I will speak later, giving names of the people who were involved in torturing me, and some of them were high-ranking officials in the government and in the army.
    I didn’t do this so my name would enter history or for material gains. All I wanted was to defend my country, and that is a legitimate cause confirmed by international laws and divine rights. I wanted to defend a country, an ancient civilization that has been desecrated, and I am sure that history — especially in America — will state how the American occupation was able to subjugate Iraq and Iraqis, until its submission.
    They will boast about the deceit and the means they used in order to gain their objective. It is not strange, not much different from what happened to the Native Americans at the hands of colonialists. Here I say to them (the occupiers) and to all who follow their steps, and all those who support them and spoke up for their cause: Never.
    Because we are a people who would rather die than face humiliation.
    And, lastly, I say that I am independent. I am not a member of any political party, something that was said during torture — one time that I’m far-right, another that I’m a leftist. I am independent of any political party, and my future efforts will be in civil service to my people and to any who need it, without waging any political wars, as some said that I would.
    My efforts will be toward providing care for widows and orphans, and all those whose lives were damaged by the occupation. I pray for mercy upon the souls of the martyrs who fell in wounded Iraq, and for shame upon those who occupied Iraq and everyone who assisted them in their abominable acts. And I pray for peace upon those who are in their graves, and those who are oppressed with the chains of imprisonment. And peace be upon you who are patient and looking to God for release.
    And to my beloved country I say: If the night of injustice is prolonged, it will not stop the rising of a sun and it will be the sun of freedom.
    One last word. I say to the government: It is a trust that I carry from my fellow detainees. They said, ‘Muntadhar, if you get out, tell of our plight to the omnipotent powers’ — I know that only God is omnipotent and I pray to Him — ‘remind them that there are dozens, hundreds, of victims rotting in prisons because of an informant’s word.’
    They have been there for years, they have not been charged or tried.
    They’ve only been snatched up from the streets and put into these prisons. And now, in front of you, and in the presence of God, I hope they can hear me or see me. I have now made good on my promise of reminding the government and the officials and the politicians to look into what’s happening inside the prisons. The injustice that’s caused by the delay in the judicial system.
    Thank you. And may God’s peace be upon you

    Wassalam dan Selamat Hari Raya for Tun & Family

  47. Salaam Tun and family,
    I couldn’t agree with you more. Sammy Vellu should have left a long time ago. He is past his time. He is already becoming a liability to B.N., with most Malaysians already being aware of this. It is you, Tun, who DARE to say it out.
    So, Tun, you said what most of us Malaysians, already know, and always want to say….”Samy Vellu…PLEEASE LEAVE!!RETIRE IN GRACE!!
    TUN, YOU SAID IT.
    FOR US.
    It is obvious that your statement (made in 2008 long before last week’s MIC elections)..Samy Vellu has been too long in MIC as President..(or in that context), has got absolutely NOTHING to do with “Tun interfering with the internal affairs of MIC”.
    SELAMAT HARI RAYA & MAY ALLAH BLESS TUN AND our dear DR SITI HASMAH, MARINA, MOKHZANI, MUKHRIZ and all your family.
    WE LOVE YOU.

  48. Tun,
    Bukan sahaja Samy Vellu yang perlu berundur malah ramai lagi
    pemimpin BN yang perlu berbuat demekian. Dalam kes Samy Vellu dan setengah daripada pemimpin BN patut berundur 15 tahun yang lalu. Sekarang memanglah telah terlalu amat lewat. Rakyat muak dan benci
    mereka ini.
    Mereka mahu terus dalam arena politik, mahu menjadi Menteri, Menteri
    Besar dan Ketua Menteri sampai mati. Kononnya belum ada penganti yang layak untuk mengambil alih.
    Mereka ini hanya pura-pura sahaja menolong rakyat. Mereka sangat lebih berat kepada kepentingan diri sendiri, mengumpul kekayaan yang
    mencurigakan, terlalu amat berkuasa, sangat tamak kuasa dan harta dan ingin berkuasa sebagai Menteri, Ketua Menteri dan sebagainya sampai mati.
    Yang peliknya mereka ini mempunyai gelaran yang terlalu banyak sehingga satu muka surat tidak muat kalau ditulis semua. Hebatnya mereka. Tapi sebenarnya mereka makan rakyat. Hasil bumi seperti balak, arangbatu, letrik daripada haidro dan bermacam-macam perniagaan yang lain, semuanya dibolot. Mereka kaya raya dan billionair tapi mereka tak sedar ramai rakyat hidup miskin dan susah. Ramai graduan yang menganggur.
    Di negeri tertentu habis kering kontang duit negeri berkenaan dikerjakannya, sedangkan negeri berkenaan sangat kaya dengan hasil
    bumi seperti minyak, balak, arangbatu dan kuasa daripada letrik haidro. Negeri berkenaan bergantung dengan peruntukan persekutuan untuk terus hidup. Malunya…….
    Ok Tun. Suka dengan topik Tun pada kali ini dan Tun tulis dengan sangat baik sekali. Ringkas tapi sangat bernas.

  49. salam Tun,

  50. Salam Hormat Tun,
    Tun, you are a big man. You can accept and brush aside a personal insult like the slipper garland but many ordinary Malays cannot.
    It is true that many Umno leaders did not defend you when the attack dogs were unleashed against you. It is equally true that many ordinary Malays were revolted by their behaviour and took that into account when they voted in the last GE. You still count for many Malays.
    I wonder why a former PM was made chairman of IKIM, an institution that you set up. Wouldn’t it have been better to have given him the chair of the Islam Hadhari programme in UKM?
    It is unfortunate that we are still practicing race-based politics.
    This slipper episode is especially galling because it came from a party that owes its position to the Malays and it smacks of ingratitude. Many Malays regard the slipper episode as not only an insult to you, but to the Malays as well. Many Malays are looking askance at MIC because of Hindraf. Race politics is not pretty but those idiots in Hindraf showed the uglier side of race politics. Many ordinary Malays were bewildered and hurt by the allegations of oppression and genocide made by Hindraf. And MIC did not help by not defending the government. For some Malays, even sensible and quiet ones in the kampungs and towns, things will never be the same. Just look and the reaction to the Shah Alam temple episode and the hardening positions taken by some Malays in issues regarding Indians.
    People in MIC forget the speech made by Tun Sambanthan in Parliament in June 1965 when he alluded to the difficulties of the Indians in Ceylon and Burma as compared to Malaya. It is interesting that in the end Tun Razak had to ask Tun Sambanthan to step aside in favour of Tan Sri Manickavasagam. Will Tun Razak’s son have to do the same with the current leader of MIC?
    Let BN call Samy Vellu’s bluff and admit IPF and ask Subramaniam to lead it. Then we’ll see somebody in his dhoti being garlanded with slippers, and not just his picture.
    Maaf Zahir Batin and have a happy and selamat Hari Raya, Tun and Tun Siti Hasmah. May Allah Protect you always.
    Salaam.

  51. Sebenarnya Tun tidaklah melakukan apa jua kritikan kepada Samy Vellu dan MIC atau kaum India. Tun hanya memberi pandangan jujur demi kepentingan negara.
    Tetapi sarangan tersebut disalah-ertikan sehingga jawapannya cukup biadap. Selepas itu perwakilan yang berkenaan mengaku bahawa ia bertindak secara emosi.
    Sekiranya kita semua bertindak sedemikian emosi, akan binasalah diri kita dan negara kita tutur binasa sekiranya seratus peratus bertindak sedemikian.
    Kita perhati perangai Tun Dr. Mahathir dari dulu lagi adalah lemah lembut, berjiwa Melayu sejati, tidak sombong, tidak melaung-laung dan tidak berjanji kosong. Malah Tun sendiri tidak suka mempertahankan peribadi dirinya yang diserang begitu teruk setiap kali pilihanraya.
    Kita harus sedar bahawa dalam politik terdapat banyak buaya dan masing-masing akan mengunakan apa jua topeng untuk memyembunyikan muka buaya masing-masing supaya para pengundi akan terpesong dengan janji-janji manis dan tidak mengundi lawan. Ini perang saraf dalam setiap pertarungan politik.
    Tun Dr. Mahathir cukup pintar sehingga dapat menaiki tahta kerajaan lalu menjalankan ide-ide yang bernas dan cukup menmanfaatkan seluruh negara tidak kira kaum dan taraf.
    Tetapi ramai orang suka mengkritik tak tentu hala tanpa memikirkan samada kritikan itu kena atau tidak pada konteksnya. Mereka tidak dapat melihat bagaimana negara-negara lain menghadapi masalah yang besar dan terjunam kerana tiada mempunyai ketokohan dan kepintaran seorang pemimpin seperti yang kami ada.
    Singapura ke atau Indonesia ke mereka amat cemburu dengan fenomina kebangkitan Malaysia di arena antarabangsa. Kita seharusnya berterima kasih dan bersyukur kepada Allah kerana didatangi Dr. Mahathir.
    Memang Dr. Mahathir ada kelemahan seperti kita semua. Tetapi lihatlah kepada kejayaannya dan bukan kelemahannya. Jika mahu lihat juga, lihatlah dulu kelemahan sendiri. Kadang-kadang urus diri pun tidak mampu, apatah lagi nak urus negara.
    Wasalam Aidil Fitri Mubarak kepada peminat semua!

  52. salam buat Tun sekeluarga,
    1. Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya buat Tun dan keluarga.
    2. Tun, walau apapun yang depa kutuk akan komen tun yang telus terhadap mr.samy tu saya percaya ianya terbit dari keperihatinan tun terhadap politik tanahair sekarang.namun saya terfikir apa yang tun perkatakan sekarang mesti ada yang tersirat sesuatu disebaliknya.bukan ke samy tu always be your handy man at time u as PM. but now u let him see who he is and was. maight be it is a bit sumbang to call a friend/brother but than slap him from behind and direct to the face infront the others. if me – i would rather kick him at the but.
    3. the feels for the other races is fading off. kids also says malays are no stronger like before and i can see that we not so tough malays because we were torn apart by those we call leaders!what there left for us malays in future………seram!!!!

  53. You handle this Slipper issue in a very polite and open minded way Tun, Alhamdulillah.
    But i ponder, would you handle it the same if you are still the PM? And would ISA be use?
    I’m certain if it was use on Najib, he will go straight to Kemunting.
    Well, so much for the Slipper issue, can you imagine a simple slipper have become a headline in all the newspapers. Luck it was not a broom (like Khir Toyol use) and if it was would you be insulted?
    At least you don’t have the mindset of UMNO members, eventhough you are a member of it.
    And I always wonder, why UMNO members love to react emotionally? I can never understand it, since they claim to be the leader and champion for the nation.
    Anyway, wishing you and your family a happy Hari Raya, and mohon maaf.

  54. A great tragedy of the Indians of Malaysia is their continued reinforcement of their cultural baggage in the caste system which they do not appear to be able to shake off inspite of their protestations to the contrary.
    They remain a community deeply divided along caste and religious lines manifesting its divisions in all sorts of other ways covered in self inflicted wounds of their own making.
    I write with the authority of being a former Malaysian of Indian extraction living elsewhere today by choice.
    The garland of slippers jibe directed as an insult at Dr. Mahathir Muhammed has unfortunately backfired for its want of any reason or necessity.
    There was once an Indian, a public servant of the British walking to work along the rail lines in Madras. He came upon a lump of brown smelly putty and looked hard and quizzically at it. He then bent down gently touching it as if in a science experiment (much to the amusement and disgust of his British counterparts passing by), rubbed it in his hands, murmuring in pseudo intellectual tones “Hmmm feels like pooh”, then he smells it muttering again in those pseudo intellectual tones “Hmmm smells like pooh” then does the unthinkable he puts a bit to his tongue and says “Ooh yuk

  55. Assalamualaikum Tun.
    Selamat Hari Raya kepada Tun sekeluarga.
    Saya amat setuju dengan pandangan Tun. Samy Vellu seharusnya telah lama meletakkan jawatan. Dia harus ingat bahawa bukan sahaja kebanyakan rakyat keturunan India yang tidak menyokong beliau, malahan majority rakyat Malaysia membenci beliau. Dalam MIC pun saya rasa hanya lebih sedikit daripada separoh yang menyokong beliau, itupun berkemungkinan kerana sogokan.
    Dia boleh duduk terus sebagai Presiden MIC, tetapi MIC dan Barisan Nasional akan menerima akibat yang buruk dalam pilihanraya umum kelak.

  56. ‘Here you can destroy the whole country and you’ll get honorary doctorates for doing so.’
    Wonder who do you refer this statement to? Hehehe 😉 a good one Tun… Selamat Hari Raya… have a wonderful Eid celebration 🙂

  57. “Here you can destroy the whole country and you’ll get honorary doctorates for doing so”..yes, i like this one
    selamat hari raya Tun

  58. Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri kpd Ayahnda Tun Dr Mahathir & Bonda Tun Dr Hasmah! Semoga sejahtera dan bergembira bersama2 anak cucu di hari mulia!
    *A garland of love & respect to you both!*

  59. KJ! aku akui la lakonan kau memang hebat namun aku bukan cerita pasal lakonan kau di dalam cerita Meter, ini pasal isu Indonesia, memang aku pun tak suka dengan apa yang dilakukan oleh mereka di sana!
    Tetapi cara kau main wayang perghhh, bukan main dasyat lagi la, dalam statement kau siap kau ugut lagi jangan uji kesabaran kita kan? Eh eh bukan ke hari tu kau jugak yang cakap tak baik gunakan kekerasan, ini bukan budaya kita.
    Apa menggugut ini budaya baru ciptaan kau ke KJ? Kalau setakat nak sound Indon dari jauh kau bearni ler, tu kes lembu hari tu, bukan main kau lompat dan salahkan pemuda yang membawa kepala lembu bukan?
    Ada kau tanya kenapa mereka membawa kepala tu? Tidak bukan, kau main tembak dan menggunakan kesempatan ini untuk menjadi glamer, come on la brader, lu ingat kita ni bodoh ke? Semua rakyat Malaysia tahu la siapa kau KJ!
    Tak payah lah kau nak berlakon menjadi baik, ada baiknya kalau kau menjadi pelakon filem, aku rasa kau boleh jadi glamer, sebab kau memang berbakat untuk berlakon cuma lakonan kau tak mantap je, boleh dibaca pergerakan kau ni KJ oi!
    Kau akan ambil kesempatan melihat keadaan yang akan menguntungkan diri kau, kalau betul kau anak jantan, kenapa semasa pembangkang dok belasah kerajaan kau diam je, kenapa bila ISLAM dihina kau diam je, kenapa semasa Raja kita dihina kau diam je?
    Mana pergi kau masa tu? Mencari telor yang dah hilang ye KJ? Sudahlah KJ, aku rasa ada baiknya kau undurkan dir dari arena politik ini, sebenarnya ini untuk kebaikan kau jugak ni, kita perlukan ketua pemuda yang lebih berani dan mempunyai semangat melayu yang waja la KJ
    Kita tak nak pemuda yang lebih pro kepada pembangkang macam kau ni, aku bukan nak tuduh tapi aku tau kau sangat rapat dengan beberapa pemimpin pembangkang, malah Anwar juga sangat menyayangi kau kan KJ?
    Be a man la KJ, have some dignity and please leave UMNO for good la, hang pi jadi pelakon la, mungkin kau boleh ganti Rosyam Noor nanti kan? Mana la tau kan?
    Lagi satu mungkin kau rasa cara aku cakap ni agak kasar, tapi ini dah kira cukup hormat ni sebab aku tak gelarkan kau nama yang kurang elok macam si kitol ke, anak omak ke atau biawak hidup ke, betul tak?
    Aku akan kenang jasa kau sekiranya kau meninggalkan jawatan Ketua Pemuda yang kau sandang sekarang ini dan satu hari nanti aku dan orang lain akan menceritakan kepada anak cucu cicit kami yang suatu masa dulu, ada seorang wira yang sanggup korbankan jawatannya demi menyelamatkan Parti Keramat yang dipanggil UMNO!
    Amacam ok tak idea aku? Kau suruhlah bebudak kau yang tak cukup akal tu tak yah nak cerita banyak la, apa yang aku mintak kau buat ini akan menjadikan kau wira! Kalau kau nak join pembangkang itu hak kau, tetapi lebih baik sekiranya kau aktif dalam badan NGO dan taburkan jasa kau kepada rakyat!
    Buktikan kepada rakyat yang kau memang sudah berubah, selagi kau duduk dalam UMNO, apa pun tak jalan bro, UMNO tak boleh nak pulih, kau tetap menjadi liabiliti kepada UMNO, kau jangan percaya cakap balaci-balaci kau yang kata semuanya ok, kau tak belajar lagi ke dari pak Mentua kau punya kes dulu?
    Bila dia tanya depa semua kata ok! last-last PRU12 semua KO! Betul tak, aku tak ada kepentingan apa-apa pun, aku cuma fikirkan supaya UMNO menjadi kuat, langkah pertama ialah kau mesti kena buat pengorbanan ini.
    Persoalannya sekarang KJ! Kau berani ke? Sanggup ke kau nak buat pengorbanan yang besar sebegini? Hari ini Pemuda UMNO nampak macam pondan je bukan sebab mereka penakut cuma mereka tak ada seorang pemimpin yang berani dan ada makan telor separoh masak punya!
    Lagi satu permintaan aku pada kau KJ, hentikanlah menggunakan nama orang lain sebagai PROXY kau, apa kau ingat kita ni bodoh ke? Tak payah kau nak gunakan balaci kau untuk halang aku, tujuan aku nak selamatkan UMNO!
    Mana kau semasa MIC menghina Tun Dr Mahathir? Oh, mana boleh kau defend dia, kau benci dia kan? Macamana nak jadi ketua kalau asyik nak semua orang suka kat kau je atau kalau nak defend pun mesti orang yang kau suka je? Kami tak lupa lagi apa yang telah kau dan Pak Mentua kau buat pada UMNO!
    Tapi kau masih nak tunggu sini untuk make sure UMNO lenyap terus kan? Selagi tak hancur UMNO selagi itulah kau tak akan puas kan KJ? Pemuda jadi pondan hari ini disebabkan kau, aku tau ramai lagi yang hebat-hebat dalam pemuda ini, tapi kau tak bagi mereka peluang untuk tampilkan diri, takut kau tenggelam nanti kan?
    Kau dan bloggers balaci kau selalu cerita pasal kau dan kau dan kau sahaja, gelilah aku tengok korang ni, cara politiking korang ni macam masuk bilik air ambik sabun dan puaskan diri sendiri atau dalam bahasa mudahnya ‘politik melancap’ atau syok sendiri!
    Tak cukup dengan itu, aku terbaca dalam blog Anak Omak tentang perancangan jahat kau dan T. Mohan, balaci Paria kau yang ‘school drop out aka Gangster jalanan’ tu! Apa lagi kau nak buat ni Kerry oi? kau ni takde maruah ke? BABI pun tau malu la!
    I am sick and tired of you Khairy Jamaluddin! Period
    Ikhlas,

  60. salam buat ayahda tercinta,
    ..ternyata manusia akan menyanjung tinggi apabila kita mempunyai..harta..jawatan..dan kuasa.tetapi bila kita kehilangan semua itu..manusia tidak akan pedulikan kita semua..TETAPI segala apa yang TUN lakukan UNTUK AGAMA BANGSA DAN NEGARA INI AKAN SENTIASA MENDAPAT RAHMAT DARI ILLAHI walaupun manusia bertopeng dan tiada keikhlasan ini menidakan TUN.
    SELAMAT HARI RAYA..SEMOGA ALLAH AKAN SENTIASA MERAHMATI TUN SEKELUARGA.

  61. Salam Ayahanda Tun!
    Selamat Hari Raya – Maaf Zahir dan Batin saya ucapkan pada Tun sekeluarga!
    hati.malaysia, he destroyed while under pak lah administration, are you blind or you are a paid KJ boy who try to humiliate Tun here, i know his paid balaci style and i can smeel that in your comment!
    Tell me, what is so great about this makhluk perosak? Because i know he and his balaci love pakatan haram so much!
    Grow up la brader! Pi cari kerja la

  62. Assalamualaikum Tun Yang Amat Dihormati,
    1.Sebenarnya,masa DS Sammy Vellu untuk bersara sebagai presiden MIC
    sudah sampai,hakikatnya beliau sudah sepatutnya berundur dan memberi peluang kepada orang lain untuk memimpin parti ini untuk kebaikan kaum india dan parti BN.
    2.Sekiranya dengan nasihat ‘direct’daripada Tunpun susah beliau nak’faham’,nasihat orang lain lagilah tidak mahu terima.Keluhan tentang ketidakpuashati dikalangan kaum india terhadap beliau sudah lama kedengaran,tetapi seperti biasa ada pemimpin yang merasakan beliau masih dikehendaki(seperti bekas PM-5).
    3.Saya berharap individu yang bersikap biadap terhadap Tun tidak mewakili kaum india yang lain.Saya yakin kebanyakan kaum india di Malaysia masih waras dan tidak bersetuju dengan budaya ini.Sekiranya setiap warganegara Malaysia menghayati dan faham akan kelima-lima Rukunnegara,sudah pasti kejadian sebegini tidak berlaku.
    (Si Nazri,yang biadap dengan Tun,belum minta maaf secara terbuka kepada Tun,Saya memang tidak berkenan sungguh dengan dia ni,semenjak dari pemerintahan PM-5).
    4.Teruskan usaha Tun untuk bersuara(walaupun pedih untuk mendengar)bagi membersihkan parti BN,daripada ‘daki-daki degil’yang merosakkan imej cemerlang BN,yang sememangnya telah membawa kemakmuran kepada negara.Sememangnya rekod baik BN banyak dirosakkan oleh kepimpinan selepas Tun.Yang penting kita mesti berubah dan memperbaiki kelemahan yang ada.
    Akhir sekali ingin mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya kepada Tun dan Tun Siti Hasmah semoga Tun berdua sentiasa dilindungi dan mendapat rahmat daripada Yang Maha Esa.Terima kasih.
    BERSATU RAKYAT UNTUK KESEJAHTERAAN NEGARA TERCINTA,MALAYSIA.

  63. Pandangan saya mungkin Sammy Vellu sayangkan parti nya kerana dia takut orang yang akan menaiki takhta selepas dia akan menyalah gunakan kuasa untuk kepentingan peribadi..tetapi dalam masa yang sama Sammy Vellu tidak sedar kerana terlalu sayangkan parti atau lebih senang cakap terlalu sayangkan dunia nya itu menyebabkan dia berat untuk melepaskan jawatan yang dimiliki sehingga memyebabkan perpecahan dalam kaum yang dipimpinnya . Nasihat saya kepada Sammy Vellu percaya kan diri sendiri bahawasanya tanggungjawab awak sudah selesai . era awak pun sudah berlalu dan contohilah Tun DR Mahathir , bahawasanya kita hanya mampu menegur sahaja kalau ada salah silapnya yang selebihnya kita serahkan kepada parti mudah-mudahan mereka mengikut apa yang terbaik . Itukan lebih elok wahai Sammy Vellu .
    Untuk pandangan parti Umno pula saya rasa semua orang Umno yang berada dimalaysia perlu beranggapan teguran Tok Det untuk kebaikan parti , ialah kalau orang atas yang buat silap siapa pula yang berani ingin menegurnya melainkan Veteran Umno lah….tak akan tak faham kot..junior mesti kasi hormat sama senior dan lagi satu , tegur menegur atau ditegur itu kan elok , itulah yang diajar ugama kita pun .
    agaknya Tok det orang melayu lebih rela tengok kesilapan itu terus berpanjangan dari kehilangan jawatannya….he he

  64. Dear Tun, salam Ramadan selamat berpuasa harap sihat. Kiriman saya untuk tajuk ini…
    ………….REVERSE INSULT
    MIC has been indirectly declared inconsequential. A mosquito that cannot even bite is a zombie existence. It has to survive based on the bite from Umno leach. Entah siapa dihina oleh hal kasut di sini.
    …………DESTROYING A COUNTRY
    The accomplishment is impressive. A person did not ‘lose’ a series of deputies, Lord President and judges, did not lock up hundreds under ISA, did not spawn splinter parties (S46,PKR), did not have open international spats, is more accomplished? The silent one is killer and the noisy one builder?
    …………SHOUTING
    Others have learnt to shout more than 22 yrs ago. Hope a skill acquired in 6 yrs is effective and 22 yrs onslaught of shouting has not impaired the hearing?

  65. 1. Saya telah ditanya berkali-kali oleh mdia tentang apa yang saya rasakan mengenai karangan kasut yang disarankan oleh seorang ahli MIC.
    2. Jawapan saya adalah bahawa perkara ini bukanlah benda yang baru. Sebagai seorang ahli politik kita harus menerima penghinaan seperti ini.
    3. Sebagai contoh selepas saya bersara pemimpin UMNO menfitnah saya kerana saya mengecam keputusan Abdullah berkenaan jambatan dan lain-lain . Saya tidak mengeluh pada masa itu dan tidak ada yang secara terbuka mengecam para pemimpin UMNO untuk menghina saya. Mereka takut bahawa ianya mungkin mengecewakan Perdana Menteri. Dengan kata lain mengutuk saya adalah diterima; itu bukan tanda tidak menghormati, apa yang dipanggil negarawan senior. Kenapa harus berbeza sekarang.
    4. Sebelum pilihanraya 2008 saya telah mengatakan kepada stesen TV asing bahawa MIC akan mengalami prestasi buruk kerana Samy Vellu. Dan ia terbukti. Saya fikir saya dibenarkan untuk mengatakan bahawa Samy harus bersara.
    5. Di Malaysia seorang ahli politik boleh menjadi gagal secara total, tapi tidak pernah berfikir untuk mengundurkan diri. Menteri negara-negara lain akan bunuh diri jika berlaku beberapa tragedi di Kementerian mereka. Tapi tidak di Malaysia. Di sini seseorang boleh menghancurkan seluruh negeri dan akan mendapatkan gelar doktor kehormat kerana melakukannya.
    6. MIC harus ingat bahawa tidak ada satu kawasan undi dengan penduduk India yang dikuasai. MIC, sebuah parti berasaskan perkauman tidak mampu bertanding di setiap kawasan-kawasan pengundian di Malaysia.
    7. Tetapi untuk memastikan masyarakat India mendapatkan suara dalam kerajaan BN terpaksa memperuntukkan sebahagian besar pengundi Melayu kepada MIC dan kemudiannya memujuk pengundi Melayu untuk menyokong calon MIC. Pengundi Melayu tidak menyukainya tetapi pemimpin UMNO harus memujuk mereka.
    8. Apabila MIC melakukan sesuatu yang akan menyulitkan pengundi Melayu untuk menyokong calon MIC, saya rasa adil untuk mereka mengkritik. Ini boleh dilakukan secara senyap oleh para pemimpin BN. Yang lain, termasuk bekas pemimpin tidak mempunyai akses pintu tertutup. Mereka harus bercakap dengan lantang. Jadi saya bercakap.
    9. Selama hampir 50 tahun parti gabungan telah berjaya dalam pilihan raya. Ini adalah kerana mereka saling membantu. Namun demikian masing-masing harus diterima secara umum. Jika pemimpin mereka melupakan hal ini, kunci kepada faktor kejayaan akan hilang. Mereka akan tewas.
    Translation in Bahasa Malaysia, apologies for incorrect phrases.

  66. Tun, Samy is a monster of your own creation. Come on man, he was one of your most senior cabinet members for ALL of your 22 years of premiership. No amount of regret and anger shown now can get rid of that undeniable fact. I would have respected you more if you had got rid of him when in office. Now you are just a gutter snipe. Just like the way you gutter sniped at Pak lah, after creating him as well.
    Sorry lah Tun but that is the truth.
    Having said that, I have to admit that what you do now is better late than never. So for that, good on ya mate!
    LJ

  67. Dear Tun,
    Since the very beginning I felt odd when there’s a lot people now were so critical towards Samy Vellu and MIC over this issue. It is not surprise when the people who backing you this time is the same people who used to criticized you when you were so critical against previous government. It shows how hypocrites they are. It goods when you set the records straight when the media question you over this issue. Hence, it has make them to swallow their own spit.I’m sure Nazri Aziz and Mahadzir Khalid feel hurt and angry and should feel shame either. It show that they were not matured politician.

  68. yab tun dr mahathir,
    saya melihat BN sedang menuju ke jalan penghujung. pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO sebagai tunggak kerajaan masih lagi tidak sedar diri dan masih mengamalkan sistem mengampu yang terlampau terhadap pucuk kepimpinan. ambil contoh dimana ketika Pak Lah menyanyikan ISLAM HADHARI,semua pak kadok2 baik dari UMNO dan juga komponen bukan main lagi menyanjung nyanian tersebut tanpa mengetahui apa itu Islam Hadhari. Apa kah islam yang kita amalkan tidak cukup islam?? sekarang kita dilambakan pula dengan 1 Malaysia oleh Najib, maka seluruh pak kadok2 yang sama bukan main lah lagi menyanjung tinggi konsen yang di ajukan oleh Najib tanpa mengetahui model apakah 1 malaysia itu.
    Adakah pengundi2 cina dan india akan menyokong BN pada pilihanraya akan datang hanya disebabkan oleh 1 Malaysia?
    2. Apa yang ditakuti ialah sokongan yang dicari mungkin tidak dapat tetapi penyokong setia di kampung2 yang selama ini tidak berbelah bagi akan lari kepada pembangkang sebagai undi protes.
    3. sekarang ini telah kedengaran akan suara2 orang melayu di bandar yang tidak akan menyokong BN disebabkan isu PPMSI, perlu kah kita korbankan anak2 melayu yang begitu cemerlang didalam pembelajaran sains dan metematik dan juga bahasa inggeris disebabkan menteri kita berpendapat bahawa cikgu2 yang mengajar bahasa inggeris ini lemah??
    4. saya kurang faham akan konsep cara menteri2 kita menyelesaikan masaalah, mereka ini bukan menyelesaikan masaalah, tetapi hanya lari dari masaalah.
    5. sekiranya 1 malaysia hendak diamalkan, saya amat bersetuju dengan cadangan dato mukhriz yaitu sjk(c) dan (t) haruslah dihapuskan, kita tidak perlu PLPKN untuk mengujudkan integrasi tetapi kita perlukan sistem pendidikan yang betul untuk mendapatkan integrasi secara semula jadi.
    6. Sekiranya PLPKN ditubuhkan untuk menjadikan belia dan anak bangsa kita supaya berdisplin dan berintegrasi, sepatutnya setelah sekian lama ditubuh dan dijalankan, tidak lagi ujud sengketa dan ketidak puasan hati saperti hari ini.
    7. setiap tahun kita membelanjakan lebih dari 1 billion untuk mengkayakan segelintir pemimpin2 UMNO menerusi kem2 yang didirikan untuk PLPKN dan setiap tahun juga kita membuang lebih dari 10 buah sekolah yang berharga 100 juta sebuah kedalam laut hanya untuk memuaskan perut2 pemimpin yang korup ini tanpa mendatangkan faedah kepada negara.
    8. saya tidak tahu bagaimana BN akan dapat mengubah haluan dan masih kekal berkuasa sekiranya pemimpin2jenis ini masih ujud dan masih kekal jadi menteri. Adakah kita telah ketandusan pemimpin dikalangan 3 juta ahli sehinggakan pemimpin yang didapati bersalah mengamalkan rasuah masih dikekalkan untuk jadi menteri? mencalonkan seorang peguam yang bermasaalah dengan BAR council untuk dijadikan calon dalam pilihanraya??
    9. Mungkin YAB Tun sahaja dapat memberi jawapan.
    wasallam dan SELAMAT HARI RAYA KEPADA TUN SEKELUARGA , SEMOGA TUN DIPANJANGKAN UMUR DAN DILIMPAHKAN DENGAN KESIHATAN.

  69. Dear Tun,
    1. MIC passed a resolution limiting a president to a maximum of three term starting after the recent party election. Does this means DSSV wants to stay another 3 term?
    2. During your time when BN can win a lot of seats, BN could afford to give some seats to MIC. In PRU13, DSN does not have that easy manouvering. I suppose he has to field MIC candidates in Johor because that is the only state with staunch UMNO loyalists.Even then, my in-laws now has started complaining why they have to vote for MIC candidate. Not only that, this particular MP rarely visits his constituent. I remember Dato’ Pathmanaban ( sorry if I spell his name wrongly), when he was our MP, he sent kipas for our surau on his own. Sadly, good politicians like this has become a rarity.
    3. Personally, I prefer the previous MCA president but being a responsible man he withdrew due to MCA poor performance in the last GE. I was sad to see him go.
    4. This one person, I still cannot find a word to describe him. Stubborn would be too lame. How much longer do we have to keep up with his antics, God knows. Dear DSSV, please let go, it is ok to let go. It is not the end of the world.
    5. Dear DSSV, there are many more Malaysian Indian talents out there. Give them a chance. Malaysian Indian may be minority BUT many of them are professionals especially lawyers and doctors.
    6. Dear Tun, I dont mind your shouting where it matters. In this case , I believe it is a stumbling block. If he does not want to listen to you, it is unlikely he would listen to anybody else. He is well above himself.
    ps : I cannot stop laughing incessantly when I saw this topic ” THE GARLAND OF SLIPPERS”
    Enjoy your hariraya Tun, as usual may ALlah bless you always.
    Salam hormat.

  70. Salam Tun. Selamat berpuasa. Semoga Tun berdua sihat hendaknya.
    I have did not forget about the guy in the PM department who said bad things towards you.
    I used to think he had the charisma and the UMPH to succeed further in Politics but since the day he said the bad thing, i totally despise the guy. I hate him so much that i never wanted to see or hear anything coming out from his mouth again. I always change the TV channel when he appears.
    He never did apologize for his remarks so i never apologize him for what he said to you.

  71. Assalamualaikum Tun Yang Dikasehi.
    Tun, terus terang saya katakan dari dulu lagi saya tak boleh samaada lihat atau dengar orang hina Tun, apatah lagi sorang Paria, teringat Tun..maseh teringat peristiwa 13 Mei, masa tu umur saya 24 tahun, orang2 Hindu berarak bawa penyapu besar nak sapu orang Melayu.
    Lepas tu lama2 bila Malaysia dah aman balek, peristiwa tu dapat dilupa kan sikit demi sikit, tup tup bila Tun bercakap sikit hal MIC, sentuh sikit Samy Vilu yang dulunya orang bawahan Tun,Oih..melenting bukan main dia, seolah2 dia lupa diri dia tu siapa?
    Orang macamni bolehlah diibaratkan sekerat ular sekerat ikan, bila ada kepentingan dengan kita menjelmalah wajah ikannya, dan bila kepentingannya sudah tiada menjelmalah wajah ularnya, masa Tun PM dulu puak ni tak berani meghetek, sebaleknya bukan main menjilat lagi.
    Itulah kaum menoriti ni bila dia sudah perasan konon2 nya mereka boleh ubah Landscape politik negara maka naik tocanglah, suara pun mulalah besar, tambah pula ada Melayu yang suppot .
    Sekarang ni macam satu trend pula, bila orang Melayu bangkit sikit, cepat cepat kena tindakan..kadang2 rasa tak faham pula..agak agak orang Melayu dah takut agaknya, terutama yang jadi pemimpin!!!!
    Cukup dulu setakat tu, Hubaya!! hubayalah!!.
    Selamat Hariraya untuk Tun berdua..Maaf Zahir Batin.
    Jaga diri Tun, Tun sangat2 diperlukan.

  72. Dearest Tun,
    Now the grass root of indians have the perception that Samy acted weird was because of Tun, as The Star Online quoted Samy’s statement as something like this “When Tun has a young wife and beautiful wife, you abandon him, the old and ugly wife…”
    However, all indians whom I have met in these few days yelled and and wanted Samy to go to h.ll, they HATE him. I wonder what will Ravi say?
    Take care Tun and good night.

  73. 1. Ayo yo Sami… still don’t understand ah..?? Sudah sangat lama you pegang itu jawatan.. You gila apa?? Bagi la pada orang muda pulak!! Pak Lah pun itu hari kena pressure sudah letak jawatan.. You Sami ah.., buat-buat tak faham jugak…. I just don’t understand…
    2. Itu slipper punya orang sudah tidak sedar diri.. Duduk elok-elok la.. Jangan bagi orang marah.. Bukan Melayu saja marah, 1Malaysia marah ooi… Tidak sedar diri !!! Mana boleh marah Tun Mahathir.. “Terlajak perahu boleh di tarik, terlajak kata buruk padah nya..” Apa, you slipper punya orang tak pergi sekolah kah??
    3. Politician kalau dah kalah dalam PR, berhenti saja lah… Jelas orang tak mahu.. So.., duduk diam-diam.., jadi macam Mr Lee Lam Thye. Bagus apa.., dia sekarang banyak dihormati.. Lu Sami…, lagi lama, lagi orang benci…. 1Malaysia lo….
    4. Ini F1 sangat bagus laa… Jual Malaysia.. Siapa bangkang ini idea, lu fikiran cetek.. Jadi macam Tun la.. ada wawasan and sentiasa positif. Orang yang negatif thinking itu, buat model F1 pun tak tahu. Jangan-jangan buat “wau” pun tak tahu apa…?? Nak komen F1 tak bagus la.., buang duit la.. Kita nak cari duit dengan F1, BUKAN buang duit ooi…..b*#@$%…….
    5. Akhirkata Tun.., teruskan kritis-kritis mu yang membina itu.. Saya sebagai rakyat Malaysia sentiasa sokong 101% idea-idea Tun yang sangat kami hormati… VIVA 1MALAYSIA..!!!!!!

  74. Dear Tun,
    To you, your family and all Muslims,
    Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
    Mohon maaf Zahir dan Batin.
    God Bless.
    I joined MIC as a young man (21 years old) in a small town Branch in 1970 without much of political ambition but just to do a little service to the Indians.The elders in the Branch requested me to be the secretary and I obliged because then I was the only member in the Branch to have passed MCE. That was during the late Tun V T Sambanthan’s Presidency. Then it was the late Tan Sri Manickavasagam. I cant remeber when TS Manicka passed away. But definitely it was too short a period.
    All I know is that it is Bro Samy then onwards. I have been a MIC member under 3 Presidents. Most of the present day MIC members know Bro Samy as the only MIC President. I dare say MIC members who are below 50 years only know Samy and no one else. With his atrocious spoken Malay we can easily know that he does not belong the present day generation. That everyone knows. There are a lot of jokes on his spoken Malay circulated very widely among the Malaysians. This Samy who thinks he knows all, has done a lot of damage to the Malaysian Indians as a whole.
    Dear Tun, you are very correct when you said he is a liability to BN. He is arrogant. Malaysians, in general dont have any kind word for him. The sooner he leaves MIC, the better for MIC and BN. Please tell him not to go any place in Bagan Pinang or even near, the BN will end up getting lesser votes.
    I pity the poor soul TS Vadiveloo who is the Permanent Chairman who has no say in the conduct of the MIC General Assembly. It is Samy who controls the MIC General Assembly. At times i wonder the necessity of a Permanent Chairman in the MIC General Assembly.
    In short Samy, please leave MIC. You are only popular and loved by the 629 delegates who voted for Datuk Palani and not the 1.8 million Malaysian Indians. Enough of you, Samy!
    God Bless All Malaysians.

  75. The fact is that 11 out of 10 Malaysians of Indians origin do not support or have any faith in MIC because Samy Vellu has gradually killed the party by privatising it. MIC SDN.BHD is a wholly owned entity of Samy Vellu & Co.
    Its an open secret how Samy Vellu has suspended, removed or sacked those who tried to give MIC a breath of fresh air.
    Unlike Umno, there are no other leader in MIC except for Samy Vellu and anyone who shows some leadership is sent to the gallows.
    Former Deputy President Datuk S.Subramaniam is no angel but he is surely better than Samy Vellu in many aspects.
    Subra might ave his own personal problems but at least he is not a tyrant who destroyed the image and future of Malaysian Indians.
    Politically the community is in tatters now beacuse Samy Vellu decided to privatise MIC.
    If Samy Vellu has any sense of SHAME he would step down soon. The solution is not in looking for a scapegoat to justify why MIC is in the pits as the whole world knows that Samy Vellu & Co are the main culprits.
    It’s high time we conducted an official national poll on Samy Vellu.

  76. Dear Tun Dr M,
    The festivals should not be overshadowed by entertainment and celebration. We also need to pay attention to those whom we have nearly forgotten. It might give them a moral boost (It costs pittance).
    Hari Raya Pertama (Kemeriah dan Sambutannya)
    Here comes another festival which is directly or indirectly celebrated by Malaysian. I extend my Aidil Fitri greetings to Ds M, Pak Lah and to YAB Najib. Oh, I should not forget the Malaysian music industry which plays vital role in the celebration.
    However, I am quite disappointed with the pathetic state of Malaysian music industry. They seem to be out of idea in coming up with new compositions commemorating Hari Raya Aidil Fitri. Even till today we only listen raya songs from Uji Rashid, Hair Amir, Jamal Abdillah, DJ Dave, Sudirman Hj Arshad and many fronm the 60

  77. Dear Tun Dr M,
    Yes, we have tolerated the MIC President for more than 20 years. However, it is naive of them to tolerate him any longer.
    The message is loud and clear….. A change in MIC’s leadership. It need not be Datuk Subra.

  78. Tun,
    Dalam politik biasa la tu, jarang dapat dilihat orang politik lebih-lebih lagi di negara ini yang sanggup meletakkan jawatan kerana berpegang kepada prinsip.
    Tiada pemimpin UMNO yang sanggup membela Tun apabila dikritik semasa pemerintahan Pak Lah sebab boleh dikatakan hampir semua pemimpin politik kita hanya mementingkan perut masing-masing.
    Saya masih teringat semasa MT UMNO membincangkan untuk menarik semua elaun Tun kerana mengkritik UMNO ketika itu, saya berpendapat alangkah dangkalnya pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO jika mereka meneruskan cadangan itu.
    Nasib baik mereka tidak menarik elaun Tun tersebut kerana berapa sangatlah elaun-elaun itu jika dibandingkan khidmat nasihat daripada seorang negarawan terulung.(saya harap mereka yang membaca tulisan saya ini tidak akan mengatakan saya membodek Tun kerana Tun tidak mengenali saya dan hanya saya mengenali Tun, jadi saya tidak dapat apa-apa apabila memuji Tun).
    Lagi pun apa yang saya katakan ini adalah satu kebenaran fakta dan bukan bertujuan membodek kerana negara-negara maju lain terutama syarikat-syarikat korporat swasta akan membayar lebih mahal jika mendapat perkhidmatan seseorang yang berpengalaman seperti Tun.
    Berbalik kepada soal prinsip Tun, saya masih teringat apabila Bank Negara rugi berbilion ringgit kerana urus niaga forex.Apa yang menarik ialah Menteri Kewangan ketika itu tidak meletakkan jawatan seperti mana yang berlaku di negara-negara lain.
    Dan menteri berkenaan juga gagal menangani krisis kewangan dengan baik.Jika tidak dengan campur tangan Tun, bukan sahaja negara kita mungkin hanyut (seperti yang berlaku di Indonesia) malah termasuklah orang Melayu khususnya tokoh-tokoh korporat kita.
    Jadi bagi tokoh-tokoh korporat Melayu berterima kasihlah kepada Tun kerana menyelamatkan anda ketika itu.
    Yang anihnya Tun, masih ramai orang Melayu masih mengagung-agungkan bekas menteri kewangan ini sebagai idola mereka dan tidak sedar diri akan nasib mereka sehingga hari ini.
    Mengenai MIC dan masyarakat India di negara ini, khususnya pemimpin pertubuhan haram Hindraf, P Waythamoorthy, mereka harus sedar bahawa masyarakat Melayu tidak berhutang apa-apa dengan mereka.Jika ada yang tidak suka dengan UMNO, mereka boleh berpindah ke negara lain.Kepada Waythamoorthy , cubalah anda menjadi peguam di India, anda tidak akan menjadi kaya seperti di negara ini.
    Menuntut hak kesamarataan dengan mempertikaikan hak orang lain khususnya orang Melayu adalah melampau.
    Seperti kata Tun, tidak satu kawasan pun di negara ini mempunyai kawasan majoriti masyarakat India.
    Berterima kasihlah atas kemurahan hati masyarakat Melayu yang bukan saya rela memberikan kawasan mereka malah memastikan kemenangan pemimpin-pemimpin India di kawasan Melayu.
    Cuma kebodohan masyarakat Melayu yang berpecah belah telah menyebabkan kemenangan pemimpin kaum minoriti yang menjadi kuasa penentu di kawasan mereka.
    Salam Aidilfitri Tun sekeluarga.

  79. Dear Respected Tun
    Firstly my humble greeting of Eid Mubarak to Tun and Tun’s family.
    I was never a BN supporter since i started following politics in the early eighties when i was in the late teens. As an indian, for the life of me I can’t figure out the reason why indians supported BN and Tun until the last GE. I always felt that BN and Tun never cared for the Indian community.
    After all these years the Indians have woken up in the last GE. I don’t see the Indians voting fr BN anytime soon. I think even getting rid of Semi Value will not help as the Indians now consider him and MIC irrelevant.
    Tun, do you have any suggestion on how BN can win back the Indian support?

  80. Salam sejahtera Tun,
    1. Semua orang harus bangga dengan pendirian Tun yang terbuka dan mudah memaafkan kesalahan yang kami melihatnya besar. Itulah sikap seorang negarawan besar.
    2. Kita boleh lupa apa pun orang kata kepada kita, namun jika anak kita sendiri mencerca kita, tentu tidak boleh dimaafkan dengan mudah. Selalunya orang ramai akan marah kepada anak-anak yang derhaka kepada kedua ibu bapanya tetapi mereka marah dalam hati dengn iringan doa agar satu hari nanti orang yang mencerca Tun dari kalangan ahli UMNO itu akan mendapat balasan dari Tuhan yang Maha Asa. MIC harus belajar dari peristiwa ini
    3.Jika ditakdirkan semua orang India, mengundi calun dari parti MIC, BN tidak akan menang kerana pengundi dari parti lain dalam BN tidak mahu mengundi calun MIC kerana pemimpin parti itu bersikap sombong dan cakap tak serupa bikin. Banayk pengundi yang tidak puas hati dengan sikap orang India yang menyokong Hindraf yang tidak menghormati raja dan budaya Melayu. Mereka memberi undi kepada pembangkang sebagai undi protes kepada MIC.
    4.Di Pulau Pinanag dan Perak, kebanyakan calun MIC. MCA dan Gerakan menerima kekalahan teruk tetapi calun UMNO masih mendapat kepercayaan undi Melayu. Banayk calun UMNO yang menang. Sungguhpun Ketua Bahagian Balik pulau dijatuhkan hukum oleh UMNO tetpi penguindi Melayu telah menunjukkan kuas mereka. Calun Gerakan dan MCA kalah teruk tetapi calun UMNO masih boleh bertehan.
    5 Keputusan pilihan raya umum ke 12 patut menjadi pengajaran kepada BN. Namun pengundi Melayu jangan terus merajuk nanti padah yang lebih buruk menunggu kita.
    6. Orang tua-tua tentu masih ingat bagaimana orang Melayu berdoa supaya Jepun memerintah Tanah Melayu kerana berharap harga makanan dan pakain akan menjadi murah. Tetapi harapan itu hanya sekadar impian sahaja kerana mereka menghadapi kesusahan yang besar kerana ketiadaan makanan dan pakain malah mereka menjadi buruh maut membina jalan kereta api ke Burma.
    7.Dato’ Seri Najib telah memberi jaminan malah terus melaksanakan program kebajikan untuk rakyat satu perstu dengan konsep 1Malaysianya. Tepok dada tanya selera.

  82. Salam Tun,
    1. Your advice to Samy Velu is really “truth well said”.
    2. Perhaps BN should consider fielding a few IPF’s candidates as BN’s candidates in the next general election, in order for the Indian voters to channel their votes to BN. At least, MIC (or PPP) cannot claims credits for such votes.
    3. Limiting the president’s terms in office could be one of the safeguard that need to be done by all BN parties to ensure party leaders don’t overstay in their chair.
    4. I am sure you knew that you were becoming a liability to BN in 2002, and that was one of the reason why you step down. And because you stepped down, BN bounced back and almost wiped out the oppositions parties in 2003.(Unfortunately, the then PM mistakenly thought that the success was due to his “leadership ability”).
    5. Samy Vellu is now at the same cross-roads that you were at in 2002. He should follow the road that you have taken: pass the torch to the next guy and retire gracefully. And that is one of the many reasons why I will always consider you as the greatest strategist and true Malay leader.
    6. Selamat Hari Raya to you and your family Tun. Semoga dipanjangkan umur dan sentiasa sihat wal afiat.
    Excellent productivity tips at http://usefultechs.wordpress.com

  83. Personally I felt that MIC and MCA as well as Gerakan are losing their battle with the non-malays voters. The Indians are more looking up to DAP and Ultra-radical parties like HINDRAF and MINDRAF. Their mindset are corrupted with the chance of power with the support of DSAI from PKR and soft liner in PAS. Thus their dream of non-malay PM that perhaps abolished the DEB and malay rights, hoping their status in society will get better. But to their dismay there are a majority of Malay still supporting UMNO/BN thus halting their chances. The leaders in MIC meanwhile still hanging on thread saying they are 1 factor in maintaing BN government but it is too little to notice. I agree with you that MIC leaders under Dato Samy is now a liability like Pak lah. Nobody can argue that 5 years ago he was an asset but current situation looks bleem for him. The honourable thing to do is let a fresh blood lead MIC. He should relinquish his post now before being blame as the black sheep if BN lost at next general election. BN meanwhile should restructure their position and just maintain the powerful party like UMNO, MIC, MCA, BN Sabah and Sarawak. This is to maintain that malay who supported the government will be in UMNO, the Chinese in MCA and Indian in MIC. No more PPP or other 1 mix party inside BN as it is a waste of time and confusing. If you are a malay supporter of government and BN,UMNO is your place to voice your opinion and struggle. If you are Indian and supporter of BN, join MIC and etc. But my first suggestion is these parties act as patronage but not the real power. The real power is BN. So nobody cant get you out of BN unless the leader of all parties concern in BN agree. This mean that example like Dato Chua can be dropped from his deputy post but not his MCA membership. His membership is the right of BN council decision. Decision of party component is not mandatory. He can appeal to the MCA council, if they say no then he can appeal to the BN council. This BN council is the highest institution in BN consist of all party leader. All leader must agree for the MCA council decision to terminate his deputy post before it can be taken into action. The leader of the party concern cant vote. So in doing a step like this BN will be more open and quality of BN leader can be maintained. 1 voice mean that BN united and thus ensure that the decision are made collectively not based by party. Overall, if BN win the whole party win and if lost the whole components should be blame. We have seen the honourable retreat of Pak lah as the UMNO leader, we are waiting for MCA and MIC action. Gerakan and the others should take note and abolished their party or merge with the Big 3. For Dato Najib and the BN leaders now is the right time to take action and stop confusing us. Make it small in numbers but big in power.-Jizurimin

  84. A Garland is use to honor some one…
    It has been use by indians for ages…
    When an idea to have a garland of slippers… the idea alone to me has tarnish the life tradition of indians overall…
    This goes back on people’s intentions… NIAT… basically the so called well drafted apology letter is not enough.
    I think the guy who come out with this statement should be slap with his slippers… or u can even hit his head with yrs!
    Tun, You have done a lot for the country including the indians
    My wife is an Indian and she and her family all love you, TUN!
    🙂
    She send her regards tho
    p/s: sad news to share Tun, her father just passed away yesterday… im just out from their house after participating in all the prayers…

  85. Dear Tun, you are right. The MIC is not thankful to the support given to them by other races mainly Malays and Chinese whenever they contest in election. Now there are more Indian based parties (PPP, IPF, Hindraf, Makkal Sakhti etc) that asking too much and hurt the feeling of the majority. They are only good in blaming games and pointing fingers when they themselves are power crazy.
    To Mr Samy Vellu, it’s time for you to go. You have failed to unite the minority Indian to support you under one Indian party system, let alone your failure in getting support from rakyat in your own constituency.

  87. Assalamualaikum Tun
    semoga sihat selalu…
    “The MIC should remember that there is not a single constituency with a predominantly Indian population. The MIC, a race-based party cannot contest in any constituency in Malaysia.”
    Exactly!
    And yet they have acted in such a way that they rule the country!

  88. Of all other politician in BN, Samy Vellu should be one of them who knows that they should have listen to you.

  89. i love u tun…
    die ckap bebelit la tun tambi vellu tu…
    x ikhlas macam rambut die…wakaka..yeyeje n mintak maaf…
    nak publisiti r tu….x bley pkai n x sedar dek untung….
    dulu terhangguk2 mase tun PM skang die naik kepale plak…ling liong sik saye respect skit banding die ni..tambi vellu……

  90. salam buat Tun dan Selamat hariraya buat Tun dan Keluarga…
    MIC hanya ada peluang untuk mendapat sokongan orang-orangnya hanya jika mereka mendapat kembalikan wang yang disimpan didalam Maika Holding samaada kerajaan BN dapat membantu atau MIC sendiri mencari dana bagi membiayai wang mereka yang pada dasarnya dah pun hilang…kesian mereka semua Tun…bergadang-gadang mereka menabur harapan melalui pelaburan yang mereka jangkakan mendapat pulangan yang agak lumayan…tetapi apa yang mereka dapat …maki-hamun dari pengendali saham yang telah menipu mereka atau bangang @atau pun dungu dalam membuat pelaburan….walaupun saya orang melayu tetapi saya merasa amat kasihan kepada mereka yang melabur …sebab saya adalah sebahagian daripada mereka yang pernah melabur didalam amanah saham selangor…saya hanya menyimpan sebanyak RM 10000.00 tetapi semuanya hampeh….nasib baik kerajaan dibawah pimpinan UMNO @ BN membuat pembayaran semula seperti mereka janjikan ..jadi sampai bila pun saya akan sokong orang-orang TUN @ UMNO…oleh itu saya merasakan bukan sahaja TOk samy kena berundur malahan penggatinya pun kena memulangkan semula wang-wang pelabur yang telah dimusnahkan oleh mereka yang mengendalikan Maika holding…suara dan cadangan saya ini saya tujukan khas untuk TUN supaya sampaikan kepada TOK Najib sekali …jika tidak janganlah mereka mengharap apa-apa…ramai diantara mereka telah kehilangan tanah-tanah…emas permata yang telah digadaikan untuk mengharapkan sesuatu yang tidak kunjung tiba….bantulah mereka kembali…walaupun Tun dihina oleh mereka hampir-hampir saya menjadi lebih exterim untuk menghancurkan mereka…sebab menghina idola saya…tetapi tidak mengapa TUN ..suarakan kepada kerajaan BN supaya membantu mereka…dan saya pasti DACING TIDAK AKAN SENGET LAGI….

  91. salam tun
    you are right..politician must face such kin dof insult.And you too right when saying that BN win because the leader work for each other.
    Somehow for me personally you are dr.mahathir that i know; the one who raise up our country for 22 years. I had been thought by my father to respect anyone who has contribute and help you to sucess.And you are the one. You have my respect tun
    SALAM AIDILFITRI
    ZHARIF

  92. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    1) The moment I read the news about the “garland of slippers” by one of the MIC delegates, my temperature went up beyond the boiling point.
    2) It is an insult and “biadap” for someone who can be called a son to suggest the “garland of slippers” to the neck of a former PM.
    3) What you have mentioned was rightfully correct. You are entitled to your own opinion. So does everyone in this country. So what is wrong with that dear MIC?
    4) The corrupted MIC should accept reform and changes to gain back the Indian voters. Otherwise forget about being integrity, progress, transparent etc…
    5) Samy Vellu should step down and let the new bloods to run MIC.
    6) Blamed AAB, your predecessor who has made the Indians and HINDRAF Besar Kepala. Due to his weakness, the Indians has become KURANG AJAR lately!!! .
    Thats all for now….Selamat Berbuka Puasa to Tun dan sekeluarga and SELAMAT MENYAMBUT HARI RAYA AIDIL FITRI Maaf Zahir Batin
    Wassalam

  93. Saya setuju dengan pendapat Tun,bahawa Samy Vellu perlu bersara dari politik dengan secara terhormat.Kita sebagai orang luar parti MIC pun hairan bagaimana Samy Vellu bertahan sebagai Presiden MIC.Ada sesuatu yang tak betul la.BN akan menghadapi masalah jika Samy vellu masih menjadi Presiden MIC.
    Kalau ada perasaan (bak kata pepatah INDIA) vanamm,sudee,sarenai Samy Velu patut bersara.

  94. well said tun. syabas. tun should have asked asked him to step down long ago. now he wants to stay until 2012. nobody will vote MIC candidates in the next general election

  95. Dear Tun,
    Formostly, I would like to take this opportunity to wish Tun and family Selamat Hari Raya may Tun have good health.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    I would see it differently from Tun.
    Reason is because, a SUCKER leader in a party will break the party just like what happen to MCA with power war and UMNO with exploding coruption.
    MCA ==> Childish
    UMNO ==> Corupt-bish
    Thank you.

  96. Salam Tun…
    Lantak le diorang nak cakap apa ye Tun…yang penting Tun dah buktikan kemampuan Tun selama ni..
    bak kata orang putih ‘quit while you’re ahead’…sedar-sedar la diri tu ye…
    Selamat Hari Raya buat Tun seisi keluarga…Maaf Zahir dan Batin jika ada komen saya sebelum ini yang menyinggung hati Tun walaupun rasanya tak ada…

  97. Dear Tun,
    To be a politician one must be able to take things with a pinch of salt as every politician is well aware that to be in the arena of politics one must adapt to the dirty tactics and bickering which is part and parcel of every politician throughout the world.
    In any event the comments made by the MIC delegate is way out of line and this kind of comments must not be allowed to be exhibited by politicians from both side of the divide.
    Greetings

  98. Hello Tun,
    Sir, Thank you so much for your latest press conference to get rid of the Mr.Semi-Value ! This is what all the Malaysian needed,waited for so long ! I am so happy that this time around you put it straight and direct ! We have been waiting for this kind of pressure for a change within MIC !! and I really respect your wisdom in taking the Slippers saga at a bigger picture ! It is very dirty politics that our ” Apa Nama Leaders” are playing! It hurts more when your own kids disrespect you than others…well said Tun.
    I really hope all the BN Leaders will get together and show the door to Mr.Sam..he is definitely the biggest liability not only to MIC but to BN as what you have clearly pointed out. Now I want to see if Mr.Sam is really sincere in meeting you to apologize after your latest criticism ! Maybe he will make the Slippers Garland for you now ! Then, Sukumaran will be Mr. Sam’s hero afterall..atleast to him privately !! hahahah Let’s wait and see !! God Bless you always sir !!

  99. Everyone has resigned, but he is still standing firm to his position.
    Not sure why he wanna hold that post for so long…. but the last MIC election result is abit shocking. All Samy’s man won.
    But last general election Samy lost…. and then blame BN, not MIC….weird….

  100. Dear Tun,
    1. I was regretted the way MIC deputy branch spoken. He is way out of line. Thanks for not taking it seriously.
    2. The guy apologies in Public. You did not comment on this, meaning most probably you accepted his apology.
    3. The same did not occurred for the cow-head indecent, I wonder why. in fact our minister feel sorry for the person who stepped on the cow-head.
    4. Back to Datuk Samy, please advice us, Are you indicating that in your 22-year of being PM of Malaysia you did not ‘see’ the damage MIC + Samy was doing to Indian Community.
    5. If you say, you did not see, then you are incoent. But if you did not see then who we as public to see.
    6. If you say, I saw and knew, then you know well why you did not take any action, are you NOT THE PM for indians. Are you PM for Malays only.
    7. Dear Tun, as far as MIC concern has been a liability to BN for a long time, same like MCA and Umno. The problem is how you and other ‘so-called-leaders’ wish to see.
    8. The Chinese also do not like MCA. I have a lot of Malays friend hate Umno.
    9. So, in general BN to three component party is liability.
    10. Off-Topic, do we need F1 team, due to global economic slow down, my employee imposes 30% pay-cut, I am struggling for end-meets, DO WE NEED F1 team.. any amount should be channeled to public NOW, this is not time to invest in future.
