Finally, it took some time but it eventually happened. During his reign as PM of malaysia, Dr M saw to it that his malay ultra image was shaded. This was of course to gain more political support from his non muslim counterparts.
Well times have certainly changed since then. The slightest possibility that his greatest enemy, Anwar Ibrahim, would eventually come into power has led Dr M to become a desperado. This is of course for fear that his former colleague would seek revenge once in power.
To be frank, Mahatir may hate Abdullah Badawi, but he certainly despises anwar ibrahim. This situation can best be described by this equation. Assuming mahatir is X.
( Abdullah badawi> X(hates) > Anwar)
So desperate times lead to desperate measures. Since the support of non malays now rests within pakatan rakyat, there is indeed no reason to sweet talk them. Dr M did the unthinkable, that is after 30 years; he has finally played the racial card. Surely, you cant blame the man. The only way to prevent Anwar from coming into power now is to turn the Malays against him. So he comes up with all this doom's day scenarios for the malays should Pakatan rakyat come into power.
Nevertheless, these are certainly interesting times, whereby politicians are increasingly showing their true colours. I'm sure Dr M has effectively erased all respect from the non malays towards him. It now lies within the malays to decided wether his statements that malays will be pushed to the jungles should opposition come into power are in fact true.
What Mahatir doesn't realize is that he has put himself in a very awkward position. You see, by criticizing the Badawi administration, he has indeed lost huge support from UMNO. By slamming Anwar, he risks full scale revenge from him should he be the next PM. By invoking racial sentiments, no doubt that some malays will feel threatened. But those sentiments are generally being played up by most UMNO politicians. At the end of the day, this move will not see much support siding with Mahatir. And of course, the consequence of his actions will turn the non malays, that have generally taken a neutral attitude towards him, to hate him.
This is interesting isn't it. I mean, think of it, what has Mahatir gained by doing what he has done?? What a pity, he could have just retired with honor. Now, he stands to loose all of that and die disgracefully.

Malaysia's Achievements
After 50 years of independence, its time to reflect on our amazing achievements.
Lets cut the poo poo and begin.
1.Sending an angkasawan to space...(pause)...(and a very big pause)...
Courtesy of Russia after Malaysia spent a few billions on buying their fighter jets.
2.Building petronas twin towers.
Courtesy of a few billions of tax payers money and 2 American companies for building it.
3.Building putrajaya
Courtesy of petronas money, (11.8billion) to build a city which supports a 50,000 population only. This works out to RM236k spent on a person-(civil servant)!!
-This money could have been used to wipe out poverty in malaysia.
4.Creating the longest and biggest popiah, kuih-kuih in the world.
Yes, this are our great achievements after half a century of development.
Other achievements such as having prestigious universities, a respectable judiciary have long been destroyed. (UM used to be top 50 in the world, now its not even in the top 300 list.)

Aftermath of election.
So you might think... after BN got slaughtered in the last election, they will start doing a good job. Err...hold on a minute!! that was too optimistic..well at least a slight improvement would be within expectations??
Surprisingly unsurprising, they managed to go even lower.. Its somewhat like me getting 8% for math in sem 1 and 5% for sem 2...Boy thats quite an achievement ain't it?? Lets start with the parliamentary sessions. To those who cant be bothered much about politics or national affairs, parliament can be bast described as the nucleus of the country. Basically, the nucleus serves as the control center of the country, and no country, be it democratic or not can function properly without it.
So it would be fair to say that parliamentary sessions are a big deal... Well... lets just look at what issues our Mp's are bringing up in parliament at the moment.
1. Khairy.J: "Modern pig farming in Selangor is an insult to muslims."
(if it was such an insult why did BN approve it before elections?)
2. Home ministry: "Women (adult or not) should get letter of consent from family members before leaving the country."
(need i comment?)
3.UMNO: "Karpal should be charged with sedition for saying sultan of perak acted against the constitution."
(If thats the case pak lah and many other high profile politicians should be arrested too for saying the sultan of Terengganu acted against the constitution for appointing a different MB)
4.RPK ( famous blogger) should be arrested because he betrayed the malay race by siding with the opposition.
(If thats the case then Malaysia should just disband all elections since no opposition voices are tolerated)
So thats what our beloved and most honorable Mp's are doing now. ^__^
MALAYSIA BOLEH!! MALAYSIA GEMILANG!! MALAYSIA MAJU!!>>(in 10 centuries that is...)
