Rais to Dr M: "Cukuplah ..."

Updated: But Siti Nurhaliza, the super-pop singer, pledges support for "lonely" Dr M


ORIGINAL POSTING:

The people who want Tun Dr M and Najib Razak to continue to be at loggerheads are not many but they are heard. Those want to see Statesman and Prime Minister make peace not war are many but they are less noisy, which is a normal trait of the majority, anyway. And in a democracy, the majority always prevail. Or so is the norm.

One of these voices belongs to Rais Yatim, a proven-beyond-doubt Mahahtir loyalist who's asked the Tun to stop it already ...




Quickly translated without the help of Google:
"I have given my view - the verbal assault by Tun M against PM DS Najib ought to stop right here. Both have black spots that tarred their administration and service records. And both have their good deeds and brilliance. To expose each other's shit at this point will not benefit country and people. Stop right there. Give Najib and Muhyiddin the room to manouvre according to the dictates of their era. Every shortflall, we shall overcome. Come the 14th GE, they will be judged by their work and service."

Like I said, there are many who want Tun to stop doing a Pak Lah on Najib. Rais Yatim's Facebook entry on the matter, however, is most important. Perhaps also in a personal way. Not too long ago, when he was the Cabinet minister in charge of MCMC, the clueless (at the time it was) regulator of bloggers like me, Abang Rais and I quite suddenly turned against each other. Things were getting ugly. 

One day, after one of our bloggers-meet-Mahathir sessions, the good doctor held me back so that he could advise me that the "perang" between Rais and myself should stop there. "You've said your piece, so move on."

Someitmes, I think, Dr Mahathir should try out some of the cure he'd been prescribing others and I say that with the greatest regards for the man.

    It's not about Mahathir. It's about the country.
    Comparing Tun with Najib or asking both to make peace does not address the problem.

  2. Datuk,

    The good doctor didn't say "Move on". He said "Tone down".

    As soon as we exited through the door, Iturned and asked you "Datuk, What does he mean when he said 'Tone down'?"

    "Stop it!".

    "I see......". I was awed!

    So we did stop. We obeyed the Old Man's diplomatic 'advice'.

    However, Tan Sri Rais never called us for tea, so that we can tell Tun Dr. Mahathir about the invitation and he could 'food taste' the serving before us.

    Bro Rocky ,

    Since Tun M had pulled you up previously , why not this time , you drop by at his house and just say the same to him .
    Ayahanda Tun is a very angry man this time but seems to have soft spot on you .
    It worth a try . Sending politician to ayahanda Tun M is like pouring oil on fire .

    How you compare your little housewife tiff between rais with mahathir crusade to purge umno of hopeless leaders. He is on a crusade you think he is going to stop?. It wi go on till next election or till he drop dead. Good luck umno. If he doesn't win, umno will have a dent in their vote come next election. Pakatan needs to drop taliban pas to ensure next election win.

    Sure there are so many who want the quarrel to cease immediately because these are the people who are mindful that more skeletons will be revealed in the process. Worst of all their 'secrets' will also be revealed and so will be many others.
    The interesting thing that comes out of this entire fiasco, to date, is the repugnant half breed is now expressing his fear that Malaysia is going to turn out to be a police state as a consequent. But isn't Malaysia, starting from his tenure as PM, has already turned into a police state ? Isn't putting hundreds of lawyers behind bars without trial, an action of a police state ? Marginalization of non Malays, who are Malaysian born and breed, is surely an act of of a police state. The above examples are only some of the actions of a police state. I can go on with hundred of such actions by the half breed but at this stage it will be a waste of time.
    This half breed is now harvesting the fruits of all the policies he implemented over the tenure of his rule as PM. But one for sure is the position of MB of Kedah is surely in the balance, in fact the survival of Umno Baru is in the balance. In spite of this why is half breed still hanging onto as a founding member ? Why didn't he leave the party, like he did during the time of AB, and return after the 'fight' is over ? Or is it because he might not be around to do so ? In the circumstances he might loose the right to be buried in the mausoleum with the other PMs ?
    Finally he must realise he is only getting the support from his cronies because of their knowledges of their own involvement in the many transactions that took place during his time. Rather as their supporters ! The above incidents are what one would call a retribution for the actions he took or the policies he implemented during his tenure. From dust thou come to dust thou shall return !

    Rais Yatim's comment on the current situtaion is an uncritical do-gooder thingy which doesn't address the pertinent issues in this impasse between Dr. M and Najib. With the plethora of hard facts swimming around in social media at this point in time, Rais Yatim sounds like a blur sophomore giving his two sen worth on black hole physics.

    "Come the 14th GE, they will be judged by their work and service."

    But by then, BN had already lost. You mean, let the Rakyat choose who should be government?

    You agree Dato Rocky?

  16. You seem to be missing the point. There is a difference between knowing where monies went and not knowing where it went. While millions wee lost during Dr Mahathir's time, it was not for his own personal benefit but for the public project. The divide between public purse and private one has never been purer than when under Dr Mahathir and surpasses even Lee Kuan Yew's who paid himself for good statesmanship and forgone private sector earnings.

    Consistently, the leaders after Dr Mahathir have failed Dr Mahathir's standards of division between public and private and consequently weakened the Malay state and project.

    Once Tun has his teeth into something he won't stop until he wins. That is the measure of the man.
    Clearly Najib - and more likely the people around Najib have pissed Tun off by their actions - and once that has happened there is no way Tun will stop.
    One of Tun's key advantages is that he has always had a god understanding of what the common man and woman are feeling - and his views are a reflection of that.
    The man is always 2 steps ahead of anyone else.

    Habis tu, biarkan saja kehilangan duit berbilion bilion itu tanpa diketahui di mana kah perginya?

    Mungkin perbalahan sebelumnya tidak melibatkan wang yang banyak. Bolehlah 'forgive and forget'!

    Percayalah kalau 1MBD tidak ditangani dengan baik, akan banyak lagi ' kehilangan ' yang akan berlaku. Bila ada pihak berkeras untuk mendapatkan jawapannya, 'berdamailah '.

    Itu sebab zaman selepas TDM tidak ada apa apa pencapaian yang dapat dibanggakan. Balik balik membanggakan perkara perkara yang telah dilakukan pada zaman TDM.

    Saya sebagai rakyat biasa merayu Najib, BERUNDUR lah kalau sayangkan agama, babgsa dan negara. Insaflah anda tidak cukup kemampuan untuk membawa Malaysia ke arah yang lebih cemerlang!

    I can forgive brainless paid bloggers. But you and your apple polishing write-up are just stinking vomit.
    Yes we do want to know why 1MDB is loaded with RM42bil debt, and we also want to know how the accounting trickery inflated their asset value to RM51 bil. These balance sheet figures are as stinking as your writeup.

    Thank you Big Dog,
    Yes, how could I get that wrong. The Tun, indeed, told us to "tone down lah". And did we tone it down!
    One thing was clear to me that day: Dr M valued Rais Yatim as a friend and a comrade. As a Minang, Rais is cultured and loyal. And the pantuns!

    One thing is clear to me now: We need more voices like Rais at this time of personal conflict involving the Tun and Najib.

    Judging from the comments here, there is a great deal of anger by the rakyat against the current leadership,for simple explanations like 'Where is 1MDB's money?'. the Finance Minister can answer that without an audit process, surely!
