It is really a sad state of affiras what Badawi and the so-called UMNO did and are doing to Mahatir and to all Malaysians. It is a sad state of affiras when it takes the rest of the world to acknowledge Mahatir’s contributions, but not his own kind in his country.Are they afraid of Mahatir? They must be, to discredit him and not let him speak – they don’t want the truth to come out; which is that the Malays are being hoodwinked (Khairy and his race issue, when all else fails, as a distractor)and yet they still allow Badawi and his cunning son-in-law to get away with the crap they have !Wake up! See what your government is doing to you. They are draining the country and selling it off to the highest bidder, to line their own pockets.As another reader suggested – see how many Malay millionaires there are recently – especially cronies of Badawi and Khairy and you’ll see the most corrupted people around!I have never in all my years, seen the Malays, with their so-called special status, screwing their own kind! Usually they are screwing the Chinese and Indians to get anywhere – (it must be the crutches they are so used to, since they are afterall handicapped !)So now they allow the S’poreans and/or anyone else who can pay the price of Badawi adn Khairy, to screw the Malaysians.And where is the Press – in the pockets of Khairy and Badawi. It is truly a joke that Kalimulah (where did he do his journalism?)a pseudo Malay, is kissing Khairy’s and Badawi’s ass to get his share of the pie too by the censored crap NST puts out to make Badawi and his jokes have a voice!What a joke!I say, we let the Chinese run the country, look at S’pore – we may be better off anyway, since Badawi and Khairy have practically sold the country to them anyway. What is left over can be sold to the Japanese and to the Americans. In exchange, we get Japanese cars for fruits that we send them. That’s another joke – we get cars which people can’t afford especially with the price of gas now, while the price of food that they could afford is now not available because it is exported and so what is left will cost more! I think all Malaysians need to band together and get rid of the current Badawi government.
