I refer to your report Be a 'jantan' leave Umno, Mahathir told .

I am very surprised indeed at the way this minister by the name Mohd Nazri Aziz responded to Dr Mahathir on the latter's criticism of Pak Lah's administration. My focus here is more on his behaviour.

It's appalling by any human standard.

Nazri must remember (Melayu sudah lupa) that Dr M is a world-class leader, respected by other leaders for his mind and guts. He has received so many awards for his achievements.

For Nazri to speak out like he did is indeed 'kurang ajar'. Nazri, you are a 'hatchet man' devoid of any respect for an elderly statesman of a great calibre, who brought fame and dignity to the Malay world. You won't find another Malay leader like him for many more years.

Nazri, please go back to basics and learn how to respect and appreciate successful people like Dr M. Use your brains properly. Don't show off your 'jantan' to Dr M. He has proven himself. You have not.
