Dr M: Full marks to Najib for not sleeping

While Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak may be enjoying a high popularity rating as he celebrates 100 days in office, his well-known supporter and former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad brought the celebratory mood down to earth today with an unfavourable assessment.

Speaking to reporters in Kuala Lumpur this morning, Mahathir said Najib gained "more negatives rather than positives" since taking over as the prime minister from Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on April 3.

"I am sorry to say this, but there are more negative (things) rather than positives. Somebody said, there was almost nothing in positives, (especially) from the Internet. For example, there is no freedom of the press," he said.

When asked to elaborate the negative things that have been reflected on Najib, Mahathir claimed that Najib did not come up with any proper study relating to the third bridge linking Johor Baru and Singapore.

"There are also other things, like certain appointments of the (ministers) found to be corrupt and yet, they are still in office," he said.

Despite these, Mahathir said Najib did however manage to score a few positives.

"For example, he likes to meet people and secondly he does not sleep (on the job)," he quipped.

Dear Tun M,

You please makes this country even greatest in the future to come. Help us all.. the malaysian needs someone as smart as you.

[PeaceMsia]

Only a human who truly believe all human are equal. and treating everyone with true justice,

can be the best PM in this country.

I was working in Australia and UK,

every human was respected with equality...

Let's see whether we can find Abraham Lincoln soul in a Malay man..

May be Anwar? Nik Aziz? Zaid Ibrahim? Khalid Ibrahim?

Definitely not racist like Najib or Hadi Awang!

[ImperialEarthEmpire]

Zaid Ibrahim writes in his memoirs: "In my heart, I cannot accept allegations that Dr Mahathir personally was a corrupt man. Corrupt people are never brave enough to speak as loudly as Dr Mahathir. Wealth is not a major motivation for him. He only craves power" that is the spirit of a true politician... i rather live under mahathirs brilliant tyrannical rule better then under cowardly najib administration...

@xululx Such racially divisive ideologies spurted by you are not surprising. I know how rampant racial division is in Malaysia. And we all know who is the man responsible for that, and it has obviously caught on to more unfortunate souls. I was in fact born in Australia and have lived here all my life. Although I'm not Anglo-Saxon, my gov't doesn't discriminate against me or other races. No race is superior to another, and I'm SO glad it is like that here; unlike Malaysia of course.

@Pedalpoint1 >>yeaaa dude,,whatever..

as long as ur kind is no longer here in malaysia,i'll be so much glad with the fact that more and more parasite like u is leaving malaysia,looking fer a 'better' life etc..

GOODDAY MAITE!!

[Pedalpoint1]

@xululx If you didn't get it before, it you don't need to know the man personally to get what a complete fruitcake he is. If he was sane, he wouldn't make a fool of himself like he constantly does. If you are at all insinuating you know him personally, well poor you! You are misguided, uninformed, and a tragic victim of this dangerous man's propaganda! I hate to break the news to you, but you are unlikely to ever see this man's foolishness - a lost cause that I'm laughing at.

[xululx]

@Pedalpoint1 then u should start chatting with yer dog,instead barking here criticizing the person that u yerself didn't him personally..

kimak punya manusia tak sedaq diri!!

[Pedalpoint1]

@xululx It certainly does not take a Malaysian life experience to see what this guy is about. My dog would be able to recognize that this guy is simply bad news and nothing but. It's is asinine to suggest otherwise my friend. Also, if you can only resort to such contemptible language, you do absolutely nothing for your cause. If anything, you degrade Mahathir and yourself even further, and I'm so glad it is not my problem as it is yours.

[xululx]

@Pedalpoint1 >>>nohoromm nih cina/hindu tak sedaq diri la nih,,mak pak kampong bukit,ang pandai sikit ngaku australian..

dude,,if u had NEVER experience the life of being malaysian then i'm strongly suggesting u to STAY-THE -FUCK-AWAY..

[Pedalpoint1]

What a nutter. I'm seeing all these clips of this rude and racist man. Glad I'm Australian. Though my poor family in Malaysia having to put up with this psycho... Sometimes I cringe to think I have heritage in a country whose gloried father was a maniac. Its funny, because all my cousins are wanting to immigrate to Australia, and I can see why ever more clearly now. What a shameful Prime Minister. Shame. Shame. Shame...

Guys, this issue about human rights and equality is just an excuse and it's getting stale every now and then. Aren't we all? Don't let this get in our way. Just remember this: work hard, in God we trust, in our government we trust. Only then our nation rises above others and together we Malaysians triumph.

[4rcher91]

@PeaceMsia Abraham Lincoln? Certainly you can think of a better role model. Plus, thanks for sharing with us about ur experience working in the UK and Australia. However, certain things wouldn't just work in some countries. Malaysia is special. Treat it that way. The people are already living in harmony and peace, no conflict, no war and the economy is improving every year. Think positively and fly toward the star!
