'Return of the Mummy': Mahathir Mohamad and the Malaysian elections : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 11/5/2018

This election result is only surprising if one considers the seemingly immutable nature of BN's rule, which has lasted six decades and resisted change with studied fanaticism.

Joe,

None of those things. I don't give two hoots about Malaysian politics. I just find it bizarre that a 92 year old man would want to reenter politics and that the Malaysian people would permit it. I've been there a couple of times, and the Malays seem to be easy going, and there is no particularly strong Islamy feeling. No, Alan B was the problem. I rarely have the patience to read his long, ignorant diatribes; but he chose to deem me ignorant - tortured though his grammar is, I did understand it - so I returned the compliment. Simple.

There's no doubt that the outgoing PM was dirty. He is not permitted to leave the country, so he might be getting his comeuppance. And I think that old Mahathir is straight up. He's no friend of Australia, though, but that could be because Keating called him 'recalcitrant’ when both rabbits were Prime Ministers

Ttbn,

Whatev. So far, after only a couple of days, Mahathir has slapped a ban on Najib leaving the country. He's insisting that he'll observe the rule of law for everyone, including Najib. Not bad for an old bloke :)
