Mr Prime Minister, Sir: You Are Beyond Repair

Din Merican

Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi is truly beyond repair. This is someone who came into office in 2003 as result of Tun Dr.Mahathir Mohamad’s “folly”. He ran a good campaign and received a resounding mandate. After 4 years in power, he has proven to be incompetent and the state of Malaysia is rotten. What a big letdown!!

Our country is now a butt of jokes at cocktail parties and in the pubs around Bangsar, not to mention in the OIC countries, the United States, Europe, Japan and China and ASEAN. Except for himself, nobody believes him anymore. Even his predecessor is actively working to ensure his political demise.

Badawi is a man who is completely unreal. He forgot that in November last year he said at his own party convention with the regard to BERSIH March to the King’s Palace, “saya pantang dicabar”. In stead of being cowed, 60,000 Malaysians, mostly Malays, defied him. He is that same UMNO leader who allowed Hishamuddin Tun Hussein Onn (at Khairy Jamaluddin’s behest, of course) to project the worst kind of Malay nationalism by his keris kissing antics. Hishamuddin stoked the fire of racist politics in the climate of mounting inter-ethnic and religious tensions.

Badawi’s tough actions against the Indians who took part in the Hindraf rally and subsequent use of ISA against five Indian leaders who are in Kamunting, Perak galvanised the normally timid and complaint Indians into political activism which now threatens the MIC and Samy Velu’s political future. After acting tough, he has since backed down and suddenly he is talking about national unity and appeasing the Indians with imaginary programmes. Do you believe that this snake oil salesman?
