THE MIGHTY TDM
It is not hard to understand why the 4th PM is still holding deep dislike for his chosen successor - his crooked bridge was immediately repudiated once the 5th PM was emplaced citing public dissension and the costs as reasons for its scrap. Nonetheless, it is still bewildering to see a predecessor keep on beating his own chosen successor! Yet, being the man he his, it is not really surprising as he during his record tenure of 22 years had 4 right arm men of which one was disgraced by his own blessings.
He is not a person who is used to have his decisions criticised as what happened back in 1987 through the Lallang Operation. His former deputies' fall from grace too had to do with clash with him. In 2003, he decided to step down but until today he is still there at least making very loud noise and again his own chosen successor is his favourite punching bag. Again, it should not be a mystery as his successor's son in law is the current Youth Chief of the party he once led. A position that threatens the survival of his own son who by the way was defeated by the 5th PM's son in law for the coveted seat of Youth Head. He claimed that the nation lost more than 300 billion in oil revenues but then again what is the price of oil as compared to dignity seeing your country being carved just like what happened to Germany after WW1 and WW2? Besides, as countered by his arch nemesis, Malaysia still enjoys the right to share and develop the proceeds of both oil wells.
Sadly, being the statesman that others claim him to be, he should enjoy his years of blissful retirement mending the ties that he once broken within and especially outside his affiliate. Nonetheless, if and hopefully he continues his trade, the Opposition will gain more! Thus, please continue dear TDM!
