Whether we like it or not one thing is sure. Mahadhir is not going to be around for too long. He is facing a real big dilemma. I call it ‘Mahathir Dilemma’. I am sure that spiritually he is now in deep pain even though from the outside he looks well. Well this guy is very good at pretending ! He is certainly one of the biggest hypocrite ever exist. Remember his recent crocodile tears ? Why do I say he is in big trauma ? Because of the following four facts :
1. Time is not on his side. He is getting older not younger. He knew this. He could be caught with stroke or dead any time in the next few months or years. A year ago this sick guy tries to be a hero by provocation a death threat which he himself proclaim. Well the fact is Anwar is seen as the people hero !
2. The younger generation and professional already seen him as an old dictator who is so desperate to cling to power to protect his interest. This perhaps is his biggest dilemma. All this while he is trying to portray himself as a great leader, third world leader and so many high pitch scrap. But suddenly due to his brutal act to Anwar his image is tarnish. I don’t feel sorry for him cause he deserve it. He has no sincerity in all his act. He do things to ‘show off’ not as ‘ibadah’. So I believe he is now being punish by God. It’s like he do things for glamour and now the glamorous turn on his back. Knowing the younger generation will lead the country in the future now he tried so hard to clean his image. I guess it is too late now !
3. Malaysia does not have eligible
leader to replace him within UMNO. UMNO lacks
of charismatic leader with the expulsion of
Anwar. Suppose Mahadhir suddenly died who
can replace him ? He knew that in UMNO
all current leaders are merely parrot and
without balls like Anwar. Nobody in UMNO now
has the leadership capability to lead Malaysia
in the next Millenium. This weaknesses is
a great advantage for Barisan Alternative.
4. He has trouble identifying who is the culprit within UMNO. He knew that many UMNO grass root members will vote for opposition in the next election. This could lead to a jumping scenario when election is nearby. He just cannot discard this possibility. UMNO now is on the brink. half of its branches are not functioning. 200 K new memebers joins PAS, whike another 400K joins keadilan.
So Dr M – Your time is up. You can plan
but God also has his own plan. I predict that
history will recognize you as ‘The Last Asian
Dictator’. I am just
hoping that I would still be around during that time.
I certainly would not want to miss the
celebration !
