2. It seemed that he had inherited this behaviour from me. And she suggested that I was worse than Dato Seri Abdullah.
3. The Western press and my detractors among the opposition and certain members of the local press had of course labelled me a dictator when I was Prime Minister.
5. Lee Kuan Yew labelled me “the Malay Ultra” and the Chinese in Malaysia were shocked when I was named the Deputy Prime Minister by Tun Hussein. They thought I would be dispossessing them of their wealth and rights in favour of the Malays.
6. But soon after I took office they changed their minds and became very supportive. Before I stepped down the Chinese electorate ensured that I got the 2/3 majority in 1999, the last election over which I presided.
7. But the Western journalists prefer to retain their own fiction about my being a dictator, my anti-Chinese feelings and my being corrupt and favouring my cronies. Now their journalists would read these old reports and presume that they were God-given truths. They never ever do any real research. And so every time I criticise the Abdullah Badawi regime, they and the local Abdullah apologists would rebut by saying that I was worse when I was Prime Minister.
8. In particular my alleged authoritarian management of the party and the Government. What they ignore is the fact that during my Presidency of UMNO, other leaders were not afraid to challenge me.
9. Dato (now Tun) Musa Hitam, my first Deputy resigned from his position in the Government and the party. I was naturally angered by his action. But the Supreme Council of UMNO decided to send a delegation to appeal to him to come back. I did not oppose this move, and accepted his decision to return as Deputy President of UMNO but not as Deputy Prime Minister.
10. I had to appoint (Tun) Ghaffar Baba as Deputy Prime Minister.
11. Then Musa persuaded his arch enemy, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah to contest for President against me while he contested for Deputy President.
12. The two were supported by (Dato Seri) Abdullah Badawi, (Dato Seri) Syed Hamid Albar, (Tan Sri) Abdul Kadir Sheikh Fadzir, (Dato Seri) Rais Yatim and many others. They went around the country to persuade UMNO divisions and members to dump me and elect them at the UMNO General Assembly.
13. I did not stop them from campaigning although they made scurrilous allegations against me. UMNO members were not prevented from attending campaign meetings held by them. It is believed that money was used to persuade UMNO delegates to the General Assembly to vote for them.
14. In the event I just managed to win with a 43 vote majority while my running mate, Ghaffar had a 41 vote majority.
15. Tengku Razaleigh’s supporters took this issue to court seeking to force a new election. The court decided that UMNO was an illegal party. I had to re-register UMNO as New UMNO, UMNO Baru. Tengku Razaleigh formed a new party which he called Semangat 46 or Spirit of ‘46 (the year UMNO was formed).
16. Both parties tried to attract the members of the former UMNO. UMNO Baru (New UMNO) gained the most number of the former members and new members.
17. Dato Seri Abdullah opted to join UMNO Baru. Even though he supported Tengku Razaleigh I did not stop him. However I did not appoint him as a Minister.
18. Semangat 46 did badly in the General Elections in 1990 and again in 1995. Tengku Razaleigh dissolved the party and rejoined UMNO. I did not bear a grudge against him. His colleague Dato Seri Rais Yatim was reappointed a Minister.
19. Dato Seri Abdullah Badawi contested for membership of the UMNO Supreme Council and won. At the next election he contested for Vice President and came in second.
20. After that I concluded that UMNO members wanted him and I reappointed him as a Cabinet Minister. I could not ignore the wishes of UMNO members. The party belongs to them, not to me alone.
21. He then went on to be made Deputy Prime Minister and was accordingly elected by UMNO Assembly as Deputy President.
22. All these things were possible when I was President of UMNO and Prime Minister. But the moment I stepped down I was not allowed to meet UMNO Ministers and other UMNO leaders and they were not allowed to meet me or attend any function where I spoke. This remains the directive to this day.
23. UMNO members who invited me to speak were called up by UMNO Menteri Besar and the Police and told to withdraw their invitation. After that UMNO branches stopped inviting me. They had to persuade NGO’s to invite me so that the few brave souls among them could attend anonymously. UMNO Members of Parliament and State Assemblymen would not attend even the NGO organised meetings.
24. Invitations by universities are not allowed and a few who did had to withdraw their invitations.
25. When I requested to see Dato Seri Najib Tun Razak, the UMNO Deputy President and Deputy Prime Minister after the Election he said he had to get the permission of the Prime Minister.
26. After a long time when the Press asked if I had met the Deputy Prime Minister, I had to explain that I had not because the Deputy Prime Minister had not obtained the permission of the Prime Minister yet. When I was Deputy Prime Minister I never had to get the permission of the Prime Minister to see anyone. Neither had my four Deputies to ask permission from me. They were free to see anyone they liked.
27. After the Press reported my reply, the Prime Minister denied he did not give permission. Subsequently Dato Seri Najib invited me to see him in his house. I went and I found that he was not willing to go against anything the Prime Minister said or did. It was obvious that he was afraid of the Prime Minister. Why he is afraid I do not know. But all the Cabinet Ministers, Members of the UMNO Supreme Council, Divisional Heads are afraid of Prime Minister Abdullah. They were never afraid of me when I was Prime Minister.
28. After the 2008 Elections even UMNO members blamed Dato Seri Abdullah. Many had secretly voted for the opposition because they did not like him or his administration. He was asked to step down by many UMNO Division heads who were not in the Government. Those in the Government gave unlimited support fearing to lose their jobs.
29. None of the UMNO top leaders dared to challenge him. None dared to say anything openly against him. UMNO Supreme Council members and Cabinet members all chorused their support of him. Support for me when I was Prime Minister was never total.
30. Despite the frequent challenges and criticisms against me when I was UMNO President and Prime Minister, despite the fact that UMNO members and leaders actually stood against me and nearly toppled me, despite UMNO leaders contesting against me, Abdullah apologists and the Western press still insist that I was a dictator who is worse than Abdullah. That I had stepped down voluntarily, something which dictators have never done, has not lessened this dictator label on me.
31. This argument that I was worse than Dato Abdullah will be trotted out every time I criticise or point out the authoritarianism of the Abdullah regime. If people are so blind as not to see who is the dictator and who is not, it is their right. But when you deliberately ignore the truth you will lose credibility. That is why today very few read the Government controlled mainstream newspapers or watch the news reports on Government controlled television. Blogs have replaced the conventional media as sources of information.
32. That is why I have taken to blogging. The number of visitors I get (three million in two months) and the comments they make tell the true story about how the people really feel. To a huge majority of these people I am not a dictator. For me that counts.
33. The apologists will go on repeating the old cliché but it will get them nowhere. Clearly people just don’t believe.
hermm.. well its not fair to compare Pak Lah with Tun M.. They are different individual with their own strength.. Remember, we did vote for him last GE.. and now we are complaining to much.. changes cant be done overnight..personal changes take time to complete what more to say about a nation changes..
Tun M is more agrressive and more firm.. He is very alert and very cautious.. we cant deny that Tun M does have the brain for economy.. he is a Medical Doctor and yet he got the brain of an economist..
Pak Lah is typical old man .. which is very details and take his sweet time to decide something.. He is religious.. which I think a Quality that Malaysia needs..
So both men are equally good.. in their own way and personalities.. When Tun M was a PM everyone curse him , criticise him… now its Pak Lah turn.. Let’s accept the fact that there is nothing Anwar can do right now when he failed to do so a decade ago.. Something are meant to be let go.. and Anwar cant let it go and still want to destroy our nation..
” He is religous”
muahahah…ye ke dia tu islamik…dua2 isteri tak pakai tudung…apa yang islamik sangat? takat islam hadhari dan modal insan…mana hasil nye…? Tak nampak pun…Akhlak remaja makin rosak…pakai tudung pakai baju ketat makin melambak, pakai baju macam tak pakai pun berlambak2…

dismissed PAK LAH no improvement at all, as a PM
Punca Anwar jadi macam sekarang ni pun sebab Mahathir jugak yg pecat dia dulu pastu tangkap masuk penjara.. Punca Pak Lah jadi PM pun sebab Mahathir jugak yg pilih dia.. So, cuba kita fikir betul2 sapa punca hal yg jd sekarang ni.. kalau bukan Mahathir yg mengangkat angkat Anwar dulu tak de la sampai dia menuntut hak dia sekarang.. Pak Lah sebenarnya adalah kambing hitam Mahathir supaya apa yang dia buat silap dulu, rakyat tak nampak, yang kita nampak Pak Lah yang silap, sedangkan Pak Lah memerintah baru je 8 tahun..Mahathir memerintah lebih 20 tahun pun boleh silap sampai tegesa-gesa pecat Anwar sedangkan mereka berdua sama2 dulu pernah berusaha majukan Malaysia..tapi bila ekonomi gawat 1998, Anwar pula jadi Kambing Hitam dia, so sebenarnya Mahathir adalah punca kerosakan Malaysia hari ini
saya tak setuju kalau mahathir diperslahkan. dia hanya insan biasa yang tahu tidak lebih dari apa yang allah tahu. kalau pun dia tersilap angkat anwar, anwar patut sedar sebenarnya dia memang tak sesuai jadi perdana menteri bila penilaian semula dibuat yang amat arif TUN DATUK MAHATHIR. jadi anwar patut jadi sporting terima hakikat. tak wajar dia menjaja diri kesana sini (serata dunia) kerana hendakkan kerusi yang dia tidak layak.
pada saya dia ni bagus takpun bagus sangat. dah tu akhlak buruk pulak tu. sagup sanggup tenggelamkan kapal kerana nak lenyapkan kapten supaya dia boleh jadi kapten.
saya dan keturunan saya tidak setuju sangat bila dia sanggup meraih bantuan kuasa luar semata-mata kerana ingin sangat nak jadi perdana menteri. tak sapat cara pilihan raya pintu belakang pula yang dia gunakan. setan luar yang bantu dia tu bukan kita tak tahu apa hasrat sebenarnya.
kuasa itu akan menghalalkan apa saja apa “kuda tonggangannya buat” selagi dia memerlukan. dan dia akan berbuat apa saja juga untuk mengenepikan nya bila ‘kuda’ itu sudah tidak releven lagi.
contoh nya sadam hussin. semasa kejatuhan rejim shah di iran sadam di beri segala apa yang perlu untuk menjatuhkan regim ulamak iran. bila tak perlu lagi begitu mudah sadam di musnahkan.
begitu juga presiden norega masa setan tu perlukan sokongan dia jual dadah pun tak apa. lepas tu kesian kawantu ditangkap dan dilayan tanpa hormat. taliban pun setan tu juga yang sama-sama hidupkan. sekarang diburu habis-habis.
ini pulak di nuar nak hidangkan malaysia kepada si setan tu….. alah hai ya ALLAH selamatkan malaysia ku. kerajaan yang ada ini dah cukup baikdah. cuma perlu diperelokkan lagi.
Kalau kita nak mengukur yang mana baik dan yang mana tak baik tak payah buat kesimpulan secara mendadak.Istighfar dulu
SATU HASRAT
Bersyahadah DiKalimah Yang Sama,Menghadap Kiblat Yang Sama,
Menyembah Rabbul Jalil Yang Sama,Bertakbir Kalimah Yang Sama,Dari Nasab
Yang Sama,Asal Yang Sama,Dan Kembali Ke Tempat Yang Sama.
Kejahilan Yang Memisahkan Kita,Keegoan yang Memporak-poranda,
Namun Kemaafan Jalan Penyatu,Keikhlasan Penenang Kalbu,Ayuh Kita Bersatu
Mengangkat Martabat Agama,Bangsa Dan Negara.
Setulus Hati,Seikhlas Jiwa,Sekalung Doa Kesyukuran Dan Untaian
Ungkapan Keampunan Buat Semua Jemaah Muslimin dan Muslimah.
Salam Untuk Semua.
Adakalanya Mata Tersalah Memandang,Telinga Tersilap Mendengar,
Lantas Akal Tersasar Mengagak,dan Hati Tersesat Mentafsir,Justeru Itu Mulut dan
Lidah Terkhilaf Menjatuh Hukum dan Kadang Kala Tersasar Tindakan.Lantas
Memutik Prasangka Dan Permusuhan Antara Makhluk Insan.
Acapkali Hal Itu Mengheret Ke Pertelingkahan dan Membuahkan
Perpecahan Sesama Rakan Dan Taulan. Kerugian Tak Terhitung.Menjadi Habuan
Wadah Ukhwah dan Muhabbah Yang Dilaganya.Demikian Realiti Kita Yang Tidak
Pernah DiMartabatkan Ma’sum olih Azza Wajalla.
Semoga Kemenangan Dan Kejayaan Dalam Menta’zimkan Ukhwah
Menjadi Milik Kita Bersama.
Jangan kita menjadi hakim pada sesama hamba. Biar lah ALLAH SWT sahaja yang menentukan segala kebaikan dan keburukan yang kedua mereka telah lakukan semasa menjawat jawatan PM. Setiap jawatan yang disandang merupakan amanah bukan saja pada manusia tapi juga pada ALLAH SWT. Mudah mudahan kedua mereka telah menjalankan tugas dan amanah yang diberi dengan sebaik yang mungkin. Kiranya ada kesalahan dan kesilapan maka kita sebagai hamba pada YANG ESA harus memaafkan nya. Sebagai rakyat saya maseh mahu mengucapkan ribuan terima kaseh di atas bakti yang Tun dan Dato Seri telah beri pada negara. Walaupun ada kepincangan dalam mengurus takbir tapi pada hakikatnya rakyat maseh boleh hidup dalam keadaan aman dan damai.
semasa Tun jd perdana menteri,melanconglah ke mana saja di dunia ini,anda akan dihormati bila mengaku rakyat malaysia.Mahathir telah mengangkat taraf rakyat malaysia menjadi tinggi.Di malaysia pula,tiada terdengar sipa yang berani mencerca agama yg bukan dianuti oleh org itu.mahathir telah menjadikan malaysia aman damai.Terasa sunyi malaysia bila paklah jd PM.Pertanian dijadikan agenda utama,tp bkn petani dikampung yg kaya,kontraktor kelas A yg buka ladang besar utk dptkan peruntukan pertanian utk menampung projek dan beli kereta mewah.Hasrat pklah bagus,tp perlaksaan hancur.muncul pula KJ dgn tiba tiba.dr mana dtgnya budak ni,kita pun tak tahu.punyalah ramai yg sanjung sbb dia menantu paklah.ketua ketua pemuda bahgaian umno rasa mcm kalau tk sokong KJ,akan tamatlah riwayat politik.Tp ramai yg sokong atas kertas je dan pencalonan je.Dalam hati benci dan meluat tgk budak KJ tu.Jawatnakuasa disiplin di menara umno pun nak pastikan KJ menang jawatn ketua pemuda.kalau ada pemuda bahagian nak calonkan mukhriz,mcm mcmlah yg akan kena.bila umno nak bertamadun,kalau yg dok ada dlm umno perangai mcm tarzan,lompat dr pokok ke pokok,hanya kerana nak cr pokok yg ada bnyk buah.bila dah hbs kerekah,lompat pi pokok lain pula.umno sekarang ni,umpama kedai yg dah kurang pelangan,tuanpunya kedai jgn la dok sombong lg.buka la pintu luas luas,bg org masuk,buang le pekerja yg menyombong tak kena tempat.setakat ni dulu,nanti kita cerita lagi.wassalam TUN
Tun tak ada hak lagi di umno. Apa sibuk-sibuk lagi ooi!
Yang pasti Pak lah lebih baik dari Anwar Ibrahim.Dr M ada vision. A good leader must have vision.A good leader must be base by merits.Dr M still the best.
Nice article doc. Dr.m not only the best, he is a leader that you only can get ones in 100years, if.! you lucky.
may god bless tun M. aminnn….
Actually,I totally agree with the say that we should not make any comparison between these two leaders but not due to their behaviours or attitudes or the way they manage matter,it is due to the period of their leadership. However, I am totally disagree with thae say that we should not criticise towards the leader that we have elected to as Malaysia is a democratic country,is that mean we should not oppose the leader who is leading the country to a rougher position and just let those who are in difficulties due to his worse leadership wait patiently just like former Taiwan President,Chen Sui Bian?
