IS THIS COUNTRY A GAME OF THRONES TO MAHATHIR?

Tajuddin Rosli

Over the past few months, I have written numerous articles alleging that Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad’s main objective is not to remove Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak as the Prime Minister but to place his own man at the helm. Comments pour in slamming my claims and questions are raised as to why do I keep speaking about Mahathir.

Well, Mahathir has answered all your queries recently. In his latest revelation, he has urged the Opposition coalition to figure out a way to oust Najib and allow another BN leader to replace him. Previously, he said if Najib were to leave or be removed, the current Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi should not be upgraded to the PM’s position because the Deputy President of UMNO is more deserving as that is an elected position and not the DPM, who happens to only be the Vice President of UMNO.

Mahathir’s intention is crystal clear. He wants another one of his yes-man at the helm because Najib has stopped listening to him. After he was forced to leave as PM, Mahathir appointed Tun Abdullah Badawi as his successor. He later masterminded the removal of Badawi and spearheaded Najib forward. Now he is working towards removing Najib and reinstating his own man as the new PM, who looks to be Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. Does Malaysia belong to Mahathir? Who the hell does he think he is? Is this country a game of thrones for him?

Mahathir envisions Muhyiddin as PM and Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir as DPM. After a short while he will say Muhyiddin is no good and get him removed to pave way for Mukhriz. Along the way, Perkasa will join UMNO and we would then have Mahathirsia. History books will be re-written the way Mahathir wants it to be.

Stop playing into the hands of Mahathir. If you think you can rely on Mahathir as a vehicle to oust Najib, you are wrong. He will use, squeeze and extract every bit of juice possible from you for his own agenda, and when he is done you would be left to rot in the dump just like a stick of sugarcane. Not that Malaysians have never experienced him before. It is absolute idiocy for Malaysians to uplift and scorn any kind of hope on Mahathir.

A Washington-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) revealed that Mahathir’s eldest son, Mirzan owns several offshore companies that practices illicit outflow of cash to siphon out money from the country. Despite numerous reports published internationally, why hasn’t Mahathir questioned any of the allegations? He does not even utter a word of those wrongdoings because it involves his family and Mahathir is responsible for all the nepotism in the country.

At the age of 90, it amazes me to see how cunning Mahathir still is. We often see demons being immortals in movies. I wonder if Malaysia has their own in Dr. M. If the Mahathir regime ever rules this country again, whatever little that is left will also be gone forever.
