Tun M, what do you really want?

Tun Mahathir quits UMNO! The battle had turn into a war that has no turning back. The result is either Pak Lah step down or Tun Mahathir become a lonely old man that live in his past glory.

Is this the best way to end a political life? Tun Mahathir as a respectful leader of this country should have use his influence for a better cause. He could champion holistic issue such as global warming, international peace, Islamic development or even his "Asian Value", but he chose "to bring down his own successor". Tun M has never satisfied with his successor, not even his predecessor. He had openly criticized Tunku Abdul Rahman in his famous book of "Malay Dilemma", he has not satisfied with all his deputy, from Tun Musa, (Tun Ghafar is exceptional may be because he had follow everything Tun M asked for), Anwar Ibrahim and of course Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. Bear in mind, he even challenged the Malay Sultans by reducing their power and put away their "invincible power/ kuasa kekebalan raja).

Since retired from the premiership, Tun M has never silent from politics. At first he targeted Rafidah Aziz for her APs policy that accused to have cause Proton's suffer. He then move on to challenge Nazri, Najib, Ong Ka Ting, Samy Vellu, Anwar Ibrahim and when government decided not to build the crooked bridge to Singapore, Tun M draw his line with Pak Lah.

Tun M was once a powerful and respectful leader in Malaysia. He was in power for 22 years and had brought Malaysia from an agriculture based economy to a modern, industrialized economy. He builds KLCC, KLIA, Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, MSC and he had challenged Japan to join his East Asia Economic Group (EAEG), but under enormous pressure from US, Asian country back to use APEC as an economic platform.

May be because he had done so much, after all the challenges thrown to him in his political struggle within UMNO, he has this imagination that this country belongs to him and his family. So when he opted out Anwar Ibrahim and chosen a more "soft" Abdullah Badawi to become his successor, he thought Abdullah will seek his guidance and will continue his legacy. However, Abdullah has revised most of Tun M policy and put an end to Mahathirism.

Now everything seems made Tun M uncomfortable. He continues to challenge Anwar Ibrahim and he will never wants to see Anwar become Prime Minister. At the same time, he wants Abdullah Bawadi to step down, and he said Najib is not suitable as well. So Tun M, who is the best candidates to become Malaysia Prime Minister? Mukriz? or should we invite you to become the next PM as you seems the only Malaysian to qualify for this job.

What do you really want, Tun? Do you want UMNO to be weaken and BN to be fallen apart and Anwar to become next PM? Do you think revising the judiciary system tarnished by you is something bad for this country? Do you think Abdullah become UMNO president and PM merely because of you? Please respect the rakyat's decision. We have put BN into federal and put 5 states under opposition, so what? It is not the end of the world. This result could have been something good for the country.

Yes you have done so much for us, thank you. But Tun, please let the next generation to determine their future. Get some rest, may God bless you.
