A REVIEW OF BARRY WAINS BOOK ON MAHATHIR

Those of you who had not seen the Book by Barry Wayne on Mahathir the Malaysian Maverick., please get one now as the book is no longer banned by the Government. Why it took so long for the Government to uplift its ban? Many said it was Mahathir's DIRECTIVE to the present Government. Mahathir needed time to do his ROADSHOWS to prepare the MINDS of people especially the young generation before this BOOK get into their hands. These roadshows, especially at institutions of HIGHER LEARNING had now been completed. Like it or not Mahathir still calls on the shots. Unlike Abdullah who many described as the "sleeping PM" , at least he has a mind of his own and CAN NEVER be under Mahathir's thumb. But not Najib. You know why? There may be something that Mahathir has on Najib that Najib just cannot run away from and does whatever Mahathir directs? You have a guess. Grapevine stories had it that Singapopre Lee Kuan Yew too has that.

Coming back to Mahathir, he is rest assured FOR NOW that his LEGACIES (especially the various Financial Scandals) as revealed by Barry Wain would be protected or kept under the carpet as long as Najib is PM. Because Najib will NOT take action on anybody involved in these scandals that had squandered public money billions of ringgit. Nor will Najib try to RECOVER such money OR apprehend those responsible. ONLY a NEW Government CAN DO THIS and can bring those ionvolved in the scandals to JUSTICE, just like what Presiden SUSILO Bambang did to Suharto. Najib knew that to open the Pandora box on these scandals or revisit them would mean inviting DISASTER for UMNO as the PARTICIPENTS in all these are still around.But not for the majority of all Malaysians or the well being of the country. Question, Should we try to RECOVER the money? We SHOULD whilst Mahathir is stil ALIVE.
