YOURSAY | ‘This dark road we are headed down now was first paved by you, Dr M.’

TPPA not suitable for 'sensitivities-laden' M'sia, warns Dr M

Swipenter: All these sensitivities were not there before former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad started manufacturing them during his 22 years in power.

Everything that you touched, you brought in race and religion. Poverty does not discriminate, but the New Economic Policy (NEP) does.

You kept dividing us, and never unite us. Instead, you use our diversities to divide and rule us.

Now everything is seen through the racial and/or religious lens. A simple theft can be turned into a racial riot. A broken-down sound system in a mosque can be used to stir up religious sentiments. A car accident can escalate into something more insidious.

It is always about one race, one religion, and how others rob their rights, their land and insult their religion. And not to mention, how ungrateful these “second-class citizens” are.

Hamzah Paiman: Dr M, at your age you should be thinking about unity and not racial division.

You have been nothing but a racist through and through. All throughout your life, you have done nothing but fight for only one race. You are the cause that we are so divided today.

When Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak mooted the 1Malaysia ideology, you shot it down from the onset. You thrive on racism.

The Malays are not able to compete because of over-protectionist policies, which you introduced.

Just look at the Malays in Singapore; they are much more confident and are able to compete with others in the world.

Wira: If the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) programme is genuinely for affirmative action, why fear any encroachment to our right of making laws based on universal values?

There are laws ensuring affirmative action in the US, too. However, the US does not - by law - discriminate its own citizens on the basis of colour or religious belief.

This is something Umno Baru should emulate. Or rather, are they going to continue to plunder the country on the back of race-based favouritism?

Fair Play: Dr M, are you still living in your own world? Umno has for the past 50 years failed to bring up the economic status of the majority community.

You know something? In the real world, some people never grow up, only grow old.

Dr M: I'm not giving up on removing Najib

Hank Marvin: It is good to hear that Mahathir is still determined to get rid of PM Najib Razak - especially now that his son, Mukhriz Mahathir, is also under threat from Kedah Umno.

Let’s see if Umno can survive all this internal fighting.

Ghost Writer: More lies from Mahathir. I feel pity for him; enough is enough, sir.

Don't you feel any pity for your children, especially Kedah MB Mukhriz? I believe he is conflicted between you and Najib, so please stop this game.

Fateh: Is Najib not your good student then? You groomed him up and then he turns out to be better than you, what a shame.

Slumdog: What a great blunder former prime minister Abdul Razak Hussein had made, by allowing Mahathir to return to Umno after he was expelled from the party in 1969 and then giving him a ministerial position.

It must have been a grave error of judgement. Unfortunately, he is not alive now to witness the damage Mahathir’s legacy had inflicted upon the rakyat. He will surely not be amused.

JieJoe: Indeed, this dark road we are headed down now was first paved by you, Dr M.

VP Biden: Love him or loathe him, this time he is right.

We all know that he had put this system and this incompetent PM where they are now, but it is time to get rid of the cancer which is destroying the fabric of Malaysia.

Anonymous_1421406986: Dr M, when you are unprepared to acknowledge where it all started from, you will never know how the end result is going to be.

JBond: Now Najib is planning to remove your son first.

So please bring out your kitchen sink and throw it at him before he asks the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) to arrest you, or perhaps the attorney-general (AG) to charge you in court for attempting to topple the country.
