Dr Mahathir Ousted. Umno Leaders Rejoice While You Can. Await The Backlash.
So there you have it. The old man lost out. Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Malaysia's most famous son, former PM and international leader of great repute and respect failed in his bid to become a mere delegate of the Kubang Pasu Umno division.
The defeat speaks volumes of the cowardice and mean-spiritedness of the current leadership. Having no guts to face his tirade and accusations, whether justified or not, they browbeat the division which he had lead for decades and coerced them to betray him. How many pieces of silver changed hands, we do not know. The going rate 2000 years ago was 30, but taking into account inflation it must have multiplied ten thousand fold.
If Pak Lah and his band of men are happy with this turn of events then I have to caution them. Don't start celebrating too early. You had unnecessarily riled an already smouldering giant by refusing to answer his questions openly and transparently, hiding behind the cloak of 'elegant silence.' To add insult to injury you have 'moulded' the minds of the ingrates in Kubang Pasu to result in this ignominious defeat for Mahathir.
Wait now all of you whose hands are dirtied in this shameful episode, the backlash I'm sure is not too far away.
In the meanwhile, oh you ungrateful denizens of Kubang Pasu, sleep peacefully tonight while reciting these three words again and again - Melayu Mudah Lupa, Melayu Mudah Lupa, Melayu Mudah Lupa. For that's what you are, nothing more.

Money politics turned to bite its owner?
Every dog has its day eh mob?
Sdr The Malaysian, ku setuju 100 peratus dgn pendapat sdr. Ingin ku kata kat sini kpd Umno, tunggu je, wait and see.
Money politics is DSAI forte.
I heard its a meare RM200. Sleepless nite indeed.
Now on to the next battle. The war is not over yet.
Dr Mahathir is a determined fighter and master strategist, more interesting things will be unfolded.
As I said in an earlier comment in your blog, it is very unfair to push out Mahathir in this way. Although I am not his fan he still has a right to speak out and be heard by umno delegates.
Melayu mudah lupa? Khasnya Melayu Umno mudah lupa.
