Dr Mahathir Mohamd's recent publicity stunt of setting up a war crimes tribunal will make Malaysia a laughing stock of the world.

He has forgotten that just a few weeks back, he was trying to sow discord between Thailand and Singapore with his remarks on the row between the two countries.

Which Singaporean can forget that this 'man of peace' had threatened to bomb Singapore with Russian fighter jets. And this 'kind soul' would rather let water go to waste rather than sell it to Singapore.

He has hookwinked his own countrymen for two decades when in power. It is silly of him to think that he can do likewise to the rest of the world.

Please retire gracefully while you still got the chance, Mahathir.
