This guy here is a Gem amongst politicians... I can easily recall days or the timeline when our country gained independence and was way ahead of Malaysia and another country like Thailand. It took him 2 decades to change the face of Malaysia. I have witnessed Malaysia take its first few steps to become what it is today under this guy's rule and i aint even Malaysian or Thai.

The problem started when Najib are chosed to pro-US, pro-Brit and pro-Arab Saudi. Tun Mahathir prefered Malaysia to be non-alligned country. He never trusted westerner or middle eastern, rather to chose France, Japan or South Korea. After he stronged on foreign policies suddenly Najib with his moderate leadership, Malaysia has become a very diplomacy country. Nah with the westerner ideology every leader need to take "wait and see" before you give your hands. Who can forget about Mahathir when he push "Buy British Last",  "Look East Movement" and 2020 vision. About the Jews, Mahathir were right, this people have a power to influenced every thought or policies like what AIPAC did in USElection. This people also used their media to push their hidden agenda like they did to Islam. Until now they keep portray Muslim as an evil people. What they wont tell you when UN and other world leader already warns about Terrorist and Jihadist if they keep his decision to attack Iraq. 👎👎👎👎

I'm very glad that this HYPOCRITE Mamakthir got EXPOSED & LAMBASTED by an Arab Channel... the very same people that he was trying very hard to champion & impress.
The World can see that Malaysia was RUINED by this RACIST, CORRUPT, hatred-filled TYRANT = PARIAH SWINE.

Jangan percaya MAMAKTHIR!!
Ajenda SEBENAR Wawasan 2020 = anak aku Mukhriz jadi PM

Malaysia mula2 ROSAK 22 tahun yg lalu dlm zaman Mamakthir = kronisma, rasuah, politik perkauman, kehakiman tak bebas, guna undang2 kezaliman, fitnah dll
Semua yg Mamak tuduh Najis telah dicipta oleh Mamak... Najis hanya ikut aje

Yup... I'm very2 proud to be a Malaysian during Tun Dr M era, altho there are rumours that The Zionis hates (scared) of him and planning to attack Malaysia, but he keep standing strong..
now I'm no longer proud of my country, as it became weak and at some point embarassing, everybody in the cabinet even the senators of the Parlimen are apple polishers, anybody who have even slight disagreement will be kick out and condemned using the mainstream media...
Mind you that during Dr M's era his Cabinet argue with him all the time as to find the best solution of any discussion/ issues arise..

The current economic and racial malaise, corruption, misgovernment and deteriorating of living standards can be traced directly to Mahathir’s own doings. And now he and his band of rejects wants to Save Malaysia by toppling the democratically elected government through devious means. Chibai! Maybe they need to do a Mussolini on him at Merdeka Square to warn other traitors as well, that treason is unhealthy.

I have to be honest here. I think South East Asia is long over due for their own spring. Like the Arab spring. The South East Asia spring is inevitable.

Not convicted of corruption is because there is a no charges file by AG  , the original one who pursued the 1MDB probe is fired, other head of executive branches agency  like anti corruption agency  also faces the same fate -  demoted, transferred out , take early retirement or service terminated , the democratic institutions are useless in enforcing the law of the country  when it involve high level government official.

Mahathir is right about corruption. Yeah,he may have done some in the past. But how corrupt is it? Enough to destroy Malaysia like Najib did? There is always corruption in politics, but the difference is the level of corruption. How bad is it? If you haven't figure out yet, Mahathir is highly respected and loved in Malaysia. And now he has become Prime Minister again after the general election, and Malaysians loved Malaysia more than ever before, people are singing the national anthem respectfully for the first time and actually everyone stood up and cried when Mahathir became Prime Minister. We all hate politics but we need them. When we vote, we vote the ones we least hate. Najib is totally hated. By literally everyone. I'm not saying Mahathir is perfect, but he has definitely done less damage than any other Prime Ministers before.

The TPLF spokes person Getachew Reda said "Human Rights watch has no representative in Ethiopia " the truth is they don't allow that to happen but on this digital age everyone can report an incident, back in Aug. 2011 Ethiopian opposition figure Bekele Gerba was imprisoned and charged on terrorism after his discussion with Amnesty international representatives which was afterwards expelled from the country.
