OMG! I just found out that Dr. Mahathir has a blog!!
Dr. Mahathir, for anyone unfamiliar with the name, is Malaysia’s 4th and former Prime Minister. He’s nudging 84 years and going strong. I don’t deny that he had wronged many but I grew up in his era and I think Malaysia was the strongest it had ever been under his rule. We weathered the currency crisis and economic crisis of 1997 and we came out the other side.
When he handed over the reins of power, we saw everything slide downhill.
I’ve always been respectful of this man. I love listening to his speeches and reading his writings. He is so educated and lucid – such a sharp contrast to the present premier.
So, I am happy that he is now blogging! Tun. Dr. Mahathir – blogging! I hope his is a personal venture, not just some ghost writer. So many politicians have set up blogs – Khir Toyo and his blog, Dr. Chua Soi Lek and his blog, but they are all just glorifying their past deeds and parroting news reports. They aren’t written as a blog, but as a compilation of press releases. I will be keeping an eye on Che Det’s blog from now! I’m sure he has lots to say
