As an elderly respected former Prime Minister of our country he has certainly overstep the boundaries of a Statesman who should spend the twilight of his retirement away from the limelight of the current political turmoil.
The former Premier has once again exhibited his stubborn,recalcitrant character of imposing his views and thoughts to members of his once UMNO party.
This Grand old man of Malaysian politics should have been aware that the present political turmoil was the result of his legacy which his successor inherited from him.
Therefore for every finger he points at the P.M there is ten fingers pointing at him.
Ahmad Badawi could have been the greatest Prime Minister Malaysia ever had if only he had grasp the opportunities Mahathir presented to him.Mahathir's 22 years legacy left every institution in the country either tainted or in tatters.All Badawi had to do was exposed,dismantled and reform the institutions that bear the hallmark of Mahathir's tainted past and he would have won another mandate similar to the 2004 election.
But instead he fumbled,stumbled and slept his way past the revealing corrupt Mahathir's legacy.And instead of formulating remedial strategy to overcome them he chose to ignore them with impunity.
The litany of issues that confronted him was met with his typical 'elegant silent'It was not a deliberate strategy but a truthful admission of his incompetency.
Mahahtir did not make a mistake in choosing his successor.He knew very well Badawi's capabilities but still choosed him because he would have a fool to compare with his own legacy.After all it was his choice to dismiss two illustrous candidate, Musa and Annuar who could perhaps pose a challenge to his own legacy.
