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 sturborn,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 chosed 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.
