Badawi can look on revising other delayed projects like Bakun dam and the 2nd railroad project, which I think are something that’s worth working on.

His Archilles heel is probably on fighting corruption, which he vowed to be his top priority; turn out that the corruption that’s exposed under his reign is worse than during Mahathir.

Can somebody please list down the things that our current PM had done for us:

1. … i still can’t think of any.

As many mistakes as Tun Mahathir made, as much credit we can list down. I don’t care too if the government is corrupted, as long as they do think of our country.

If there is no money in politic, there will be no politicians.

In fact I wrote a post sometime ago stating that Badawi is probably still the better option for PM instead of other current cabinet members we have.

Time is not on his side though, it has been 3 years since Badawi took charge, and I can’t remember the right thing that he has done… pardon me for not being as optimistic as you do.

Western people have a different set of values, the kids don’t stay with parents when they turn adults, and the old folks in general have to plan for their own retirement.

as for family values, what goes round ,comes around…any young person with disrespect will get it back when their time comes. still Asian family values are much better compare to the ‘Western’ where they are more of ‘friend’ on 1st name basis even with older folks and Old Folks Home are common with them.

For them as long as Malaysia continues to prosper in economics and stable in racial harmony, they are happy.

Here comes your point.. Badawi has yet to show the vision like Mahathir, and is not showing enough charisma in leading the nation.

The AP issue is just one of the many corrupted examples. It probably involves too many interest among the government leaders that nobody dare to investigate.

Everyone in the scene is going towards the last few years, they are more eager to grab while they can than to think for our country.

Why are APs issued to certain exclusive closed family members and friends and not being investigated? They try to distract us and Tun is trying to remind us not to go off track.

It’s true that the best for Mahathir was to keep quiet at the first place, but damage has already been done… that’s no turning back unless someone can provide some good answers to Mahathir’s allegations.

The story still reflects in our family value, we all hope that our old folks will be nice and respectable when they get old. Fact is some will turn nasty and irrational… and as said the least we can do is to show respect and take good care of them.

I am more concern of the young leaders’ attitude and the moral value involved in this situation than the actual allegations… not only do the issues need to be resolved, but it needs to be resolved PROPERLY.

Why can’t Mahathir [since he retired] leave Pak Lah to run the show.
should step down then, Mah!.

hope they resovle the issues asap.

That’s probably why the politicians are still happily diverting attention and hiding facts, because in the end they will still win the election nonetheless and Mahathir was right when he said that there’s no one in Malaysia that can challenge Pak Lah and the government.

It’s just the irony that what Pak Lah is doing are so identical to what Mahathir was when he was in charge.
