Mahathir Flipflop

During Mahathir’s era he make many changes such as the teaching of Maths and Science from English to Bahasa and later reverse it back to English before he left.

Then he suggested that religion should be added in, in the IC cards. Then today out of government he is saying that race of a person should be removed from the IC cards.

At the Perdana Leadership Foundation yesterday, he said “This is because of the thieves that have been stealing money over the last 30 years because the system allows them to steal money and to solve this you need to change the system, to change the system you need international cooperation, not just an edict from Washington.” Now does that not sound rather familiar like someone talking about himself? Mahathir had created a system that allows the elite in UMNO to steal our savings and wealth of this country. Now the time has come to change the whole system and the citizens of this country must cooperate and not just talk.

Mahathir’s view on UMNO’s money politics:
“The rampant money politics in Umno will be the downfall of the party in the next general election. The majority of those chosen are using money, so you may make it as an Umno leader but there is a possibility that the rakyat will reject you. This is difficult as long as the government continues to play dirty at the voting center and postal votes. Mahathir did not object to money politic during his time, in fact he encouraged it.

Those involved should be investigated properly and removed from Umno. Throw them all into jail under the Internal Security Act. I lost in my own constituency – for RM200 only, they sold me for RM200. I was division head for 22 years, prime minister and president of the party and they sold me for RM200. Wasn’t that the same amount he and his cohorts have been paying the kampung folks for the past 22 years? Furthermore he makes sure none of his cohort was ever prosecuted.

I think there is a lot of hanky-panky going on. When you know somebody has a very bad history and he’s still getting support, that history – I think – has relevance to his support.” Now wasn’t that same person who was never sacked and continue to be the Menteri Besar of Selangor, in spite of protest and call for him to step down in Parliament had the support of Mahathir.

Asked if the quota system he had introduced was to be blamed, he said “the system which required nominations from 60 divisions was put in place to prevent money politics as it would be difficult to bribe all 60. But, as you can see, you can bribe even more than 60 divisions.” Mahathir created the system so that he could control and bride the 60 divisions easily, my brother-in-law and uncles were once division heads. In kampung, secrets are not secrets.

I rest my case.
