BEST political statement 2018 (15)).

From Malaysiakini's GE14 unknowns: Malaysia’s highly competitive polls, Singapore-based political analyst Bridget Welsh states (extracts):



Opposition leader Dr Mahathir Mohamad is also a divisive figure, similarly evoking strong emotions from critics. The sense of relief when Mahathir stepped down from office in 2003 was palpable. While corruption levels were not as high as Najib’s tenure, Mahathir did similarly undermine the democratic fabric of Malaysia.

Bridget's carries the BEST political statement this time, as follows:

The sense of relief when Mahathir stepped down from office in 2003 was palpable.

Indeed, which was why AAB won with a major landslide in 2004 that almost wiped out PKR, a party formed precisely to combat Mahathir. But again, it was Mahathir himself who destabilised AAB's government to a contrasting showing in 2008.

Just imagine how it is today for many PKR and DAP people, where in the case of the latter (DAP), many have remained in silence due to resignation at LKS' swansong antics, but far more importantly, disquiet trepidation of the DAP suffering far greater loss in any open internal spat.


DAP principles? Mananya?

  2. As far as authoritarism is concerned, The Black Cobra is definitely at the Top.

    If The Black Cobra can banished AAB to some quiet place, give a black eye to AI who is his deputy PM and jailed all his opponents as he fancies, I dread to think what he has in store for Ahjibkor when he wins this war.

    So, be prepared for the next Best political statement by Bridget "The sense of dread when Mahathir stepped into office in 2018 was horrendous".

    Guess who Bridget is saying to?

    Wakakakakakakakaka
