Whether you realise or not, Tun Mahathir always gives the impression that he dislikes publicity. In his speech at one of his birthday's parties recently, he wants to liken himself as a retired general whereby he would fade away slowly. But "How can I do that when you all keep asking me all the time and inviting me to functions?", he told his audience
Come on Tun, deep inside your heart, you want this all the time especially after you left the pinnacle of power. You had been so used to be in the limelight for more than two decades and it is not easy to adjust. You must be feeling like hell during Abdullah's regime when neither the press nor the TV gave any space nor coverage for you!!. And smartly, as cover up to your predicament, you purposely left UMNO when deep inside, you did not want to do that because you do want to come back! You always do the OPPOSITE of what you want just to confuse people. And true enough, as soon as Pak Lah left and Najib took over, you rejoin UMNO and since then you make yourself to be in the limelight at every opportunity. When there is no issue, you can create one just to draw public attention even criticising the Government to earn such publicity. For you as a Michavilean the ends always justify the means. Your thirst for publicity sometime surpassed that of the Prime Minster or the Deputy Prime Minister.
If you are really sincere to become the retired general as you wish, our advice to you is very simple - just refuse to accept whatever invitation or stop entertaining any request for an interview!! Better still you relinquish your positions in the PM Leadership Foundation and Petronas Advisor to someone else., because you have been leveraging on these two institutions so much. Is that so difficult to do? Its all your decision you know. I believe the PM will be more than happy to accept your resignation! If you dont believe you just try and see whether the PM will ask you to reconsider. I bet my bottom dollar, he will accept your resignation within 24 hours
The fact is you want publicity to serve your agenda. Why pretend otherwise, because that is HYPOCRACY of the highest order. In all fairness people wont mind listening to you once in a while. The fact is that majority of the rakyat had discounted you long time ago, including UMNO although UMNO members still show their respect - just being polite a true reflection of a genuine but not half baked Malay ettiquet. We dont think they welcome you or want you to meddle in their affairs.
And we know, you will continue to solicit help subtlely of cource from your corporate cronies to organise what ever functions you want to keep you in the public limelight. And they would not mind since you have helped them to become tycoons. Few of them were nobody in the corporate world before but through your help they have become your successful cronies To them it is pay back time
