Let's face it - Dr Mahathir Mohamad's refusal to assess Pak Lah's performance is in itself an assessment, says a reader.

HL Too: I'm still shaking my head in disbelief - Dr M talking to malaysiakini ! Wonders never ceased. The simple reason is that the press freedom in the country that Dr M claims to have promoted during his tenure as PM is such that he cannot get his criticisms of the present government to be printed in the so-called mainstream media. Now, why should we be surprised that our newspapers would not print his criticism of Pak Lah. (Let's face it. Dr M's refusal to assess Pak Lah's performance is in itself an assessment. No comment is also a comment).
