Between Mahathir Mohd and Hanif Omar, who is the real Ultraman....

In the 1987 crackdown on Oct 27, over one hundred people - mostly opposition and a handful of MCA and Umno politicians. Dr Mahathir Mohamad had pointed at the direction of the police over Ops Lalang, which saw 106 people arrested including top political dissidents under the Internal Security Act.

"I actually met all of the opposition members (beforehand) and assured them that they would not be arrested. And you know what the police did? They arrested them. My credibility is gone," he said.( to which Lim Kit Siang and Mat Sabu had denied, thus, apparently Mahathir is bluffing here.)

Today, the former IGP Mohammed Hanif Omar has jumped to the defence of Dr Mahathir Mohamad, denying that the former premier had ordered the mass detention of political dissidents under Ops Lalang in 1987. Hanif, who was the IGP from 1974 to 1994, said that Mahathir was opposed to the arrests.

"You can't blame him. He is right. As a matter of fact, it was entirely the police's decision. It was not his (Mahathir's) decision. Mahathir was actually opposed to it... He was against Ops Lalang," said Hanif.

Mahathir kata dia tak suruh polis tangkap...betullah,kerana Hanif Omar dah mengaku itu keputusannya bukan Mahathir.

Soalannya,

1. Adakah kuasa IGP melebihi kuasa PM?

2. Siapa yang menandatangani surat arahan penahanan ISA?

Lu pikiaq mailah sendiri.....

cheers.
