Dr M seeks support to give PM the boot-Andrew OngFormer PM-turned-blogger Dr Mahathir Mohamad is once again rallying for support to get his handpicked successor Abdullah Ahmad Badawi thrown out from office.
In his latest blog posting on chedet.com, Mahathir said many Umno leaders were afraid to openly speak out against Abdullah.
“That was why I started my blog. About six million have visited my blogsite and tens of thousands have commented and supported me. But most appear to be worried and would not give their names. They are usually anonymous. So the support is not effective.
“I cannot do everything all by myself. I need support. I cannot just go to Abdullah, catch him by the scruff of his neck and throw him out,” he said.
Blog readers aside, Mahathir said he needed support from Umno members the most.
“But Umno and its other leaders are useless. They are only interested in getting something for themselves but do not care if Umno and this country are totally destroyed,” said Mahathir, who has resigned from Umno in May.
PKR’s victory a death knell for BN
He said Umno and Barisan Nasional supporters were left with only one option, that is to vote for the opposition to show their displeasure at the party leadership.
And if the opposition wins, that would destroy the country, argued Mahathir.
“People deserve the government they get. If they get a bad government it is because they are unwilling to fight against it, unwilling to take any risk,” he said.
Mahathir lamented that BN was in doldrums as demonstrated by the coalition’s lackluster campaign during the Permatang Pauh by-election.
He also said coalition partners MCA, MIC and Gerakan were in disarray after senior party leaders left to join PKR.
"Abdullah has already destroyed Umno, MCA, Gerakan, MIC and the BN. Gerakan is talking about leaving the BN. MCA is more muted but its leaders who used to support Abdullah come what may, have deserted him.
“Really, Barisan is in a sorry state. Not one leader has any guts. I hate to say it but the Permatang Pauh victory by PKR probably sounded the death knell of all the BN parties and the BN.
“This is the doing of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi,” he said.
“History will record the failure of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his minions. And the founders of the parties and future politicians will curse the leadership of BN through and through,” he added.- malaysiakini.

This old man still believes that the opposition will destroy the country....come on chedet,the only ones that will be destroyed are your cronies,UMNO,Pat Lah and his minions.
You said"Umno and its other leaders are useless" So if they(UMNO) are useless lets kick them out. Obviously you cannot do it alone lets Pakatan Rakyat help you here.......
cheers.
Maybe Mahathir forgot that what happened in UMNO is as much his fault as it is Dollah's. He seems to have forgotten that 22 years of his rule has transformed UMNO members as Yes People, just the way he liked it. Now that he is in power, he wants UMNO people to speak out.
ReplyDeleteTo him only UMNO could rule and since he said that Dollah is ineffective he is implying that only UMNO under Mahathir could rule the country. Well Mahathir, there is one thing you should know, there is life after Mahathir. Come to grips with that, shut up, go to a mesjid, pray and repent. You above anyone else destroyed the country.
Ni kalau buat perangai macam ni zaman2 Mahathir lama dah masuk ISA ni. Cuba laa tunjuk tentangan dekat dia, alamat duduk penjara la nanti..Mahathir memang dah lupa, semua yang terjadi sekarang ni adalah warisan dari pemerintahan dia dulu. Sekarang ni orang tengah bertungkus lumus perbetul balik masalah yang dia tinggal dulu.
