Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad is an embarrassment to the present government as well as Malaysia. Robert Mugabe has been the cause of untold misery in Zimbabwe. The people of Zimbabwe are starving and children are dying due to malnutrition.

Once a country which exported food, its people are now dying due to lack of food. A news report showed that people have resorted to eating insects plus a two-kilometre line just to buy petrol.

Robert Mugabe blames the white minority and Britain for the state of affairs in his country and he denies that there is food shortage in his country.

Why is Mahathir associating with a dictator? He has brought shame on Malaysia. Or is it a case of the 'birds of the same feather flock together'?

Remember that it was Mahathir who made a gift of timber to this despot to build his mansion in Zimbabwe.
