2. We see what we want to see. Everyone is like that. So do I. But I try my best to be factual.
3. My greatest mistake is in the choice of people. I seem to be picking the wrong people all the time. They not only did not live up to my expectations but they went all out to do all the wrong things, including abusing me.
4. I accept the blame for making wrong choices. But they were all so good before they were chosen.
5. Anwar was pious and holy almost. Before I admitted him into Umno no one told me of his peculiar inclinations.
6. The other one was known as Mr. Clean. Well he and his family certainly did a lot of cleaning.
7. Awarding privatization at inflated prices! Well the contract to double track and electrify the railways from Johore Baru to Padang Besar was for RM14 billion (including the spur line to KL). It was canceled by Abdullah.
8. Then it was found necessary to double track and electrify from Ipoh to Padang Besar. I understand the price is RM12 billion. Work out the new cost if we build up to Johore Baru.
9. Putrajaya and Cyberjaya - bought by the acres. Putrajaya, 10,000 acres for RM700 million or approximately RM17,500 per acre or RM0.43 per square foot.
10. Today average price of Putrajaya land per square foot is RM130.00.
11. Bailout happens when a business receives injection of capital to get over a financial crisis.
12. Selling a business at below cost is not a bailout. It is called a fire-sale. That was what my son had to do. Petronas subsequently sold ¾ of the fleet for more than what it paid for the whole fleet when the market was good.
13. Ekonomi Malaysia berkembang pada kadar 8.5% dari 1987 dan bukannya 10% dari 1991. Mula merosot pada 1997 di waktu Anwar sebagai Menteri Kewangan melaksana "ubat" IMF tanpa IMF. Memang Anwar ditangkap semasa krisis hampir berakhir. Kerana kegagalannya MTEN ditubuh untuk ambil alih tugas memulih semula kewangan dan ekonomi Negara, jauh sebelum dia ditangkap.
14. Sila semak SEJARAH dalam laporan akhbar dalam dan luar negeri.
15. Thank you for agreeing that I am a dictator. Tell me which dictator ever resign.
16. Terima kasih kerana membaca blog saya.

I update myself with our (Malaysia) ex (4th) Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad's weblog frequently, and this is the first time I sense his unhappiness, very unhappy indeed. Read the sentence no.1, 2 and 3. Our beloved ex-PM is a normal human being, and human makes mistake sometime. It's unavoidable. The good thing is, he is always a humble and open-minded person, he takes negative comments but not only the good ones.
The matter of fact, Dr. Mahathir cannot be ordinary. He is so brilliant and intelligent, that we should respect and worship him as a St. Mahathir! or the savior of Malaysia!
And then please read sentence no. 6. I never knew he has such a great sense of humor, and this is a really important quality that every politician should have. No wonder he has been nominated as one of the 3 most powerful politicians in South East Asia (the other two are Lee Kuan Yew and Suharto). I call they The Three Foxes of SEA, because fox symbolizes wisdom and intelligence.
He is never a dictator! He only held the position of Prime Minister for 25 years; it's only quater of century! And he only fired 3 Deputy Prime Ministers (Tun Musa Hitam, Tun Ghafar Baba and Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim); look at Donald Trump, he fires people every episode but no one ever make a sound! Finally he had chosen the best of the best, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (aka Pak Lah), for the sake of the greater good of Malaysia! So it's unfair to call Tun. Mahathir a dictator, because he did us all the best and we should not name him all the worst.
He wasn't sleeping, he was thinking.
I'm very upset to see naive people who commented negatively in His blog. He is never wrong.
We are wrong, because we are not wise enough to understand him.
