Yes, Badawi has a job to do. Demonising everything that Mahathir committed to and has done is also a job to do. And that it seems so far is a job well done and still there is more to do along that vein I gather. Mahathir and his legacy stands demonised.
Now how on earth does that stand for what Badawi has done? When you say you are a leader...you are supposed to lead...When you are the leader of a nation you lead the nation.
Now what does the word lead mean? It means you lead and a bunch of us follow. Like a train. But when you lead the most important thing is you lead and those who follow MOVE BLOODY FORWARD!!!
What Badawi has so far done in his leadership has not taken anyone forward unlesss of course those closest to him have moved like "cart before the horse".
Demonising Mahathir and his legacy may make one look good. Just like comparing Badawi and Hitler will certainly make everyone see Badawi in a good light even if he does nothing.
I hope Badawi does not leave a legacy of demonising and demolishing Mahathir just to look good. The country only moves backward. And this is what I see happening. No point having a nice guy up front when all that he can do is demonise and demolish. I would rather see the devil up front if that is what is needed to move forward. And that is the job of a leader.

Look at what NST says: "Nazri accuse Dr M of sleeping with the enemy".
How they can write in such a manner of disgrace??? Dr M is Tun and also a leader who guide us for more than 20 over years. You don't do that to a person like this pedigree. You attack but attack on the fact and be respectful. At least you also won't be talking like this to other people. Is it KL really that "Rude" or "Melayu senang lupa"?
See how the media easily taint someone image...? They don't focus on the topic but keep painting a negative picture by saying Dr M bankrupt the government, sleeping with enemy etc. If they are so "jantan", proof it by bringing out the evidence!
AP issue alone also cannot justify, someone want to talk "jantan"...
BTW... How many man do you need to write a bullshit article?
Answer: 2. One to write article, another one to ......... (pls fill in the blanks).

Yes AAB have a job to do...9MP will come and go...as we have to continue development plans..irrespective who is PM..they will be the 10MP and so on.
But now..today..what will he do with his election promises, about tranparency, accountability, anti corruption etc..ALL TALK ONLY...
Already 2 and half years..nothing ..even his own police can up finger him when on the IPCMC...and no action takien over the insurbodination.
AAB should give way to Najib..and let Najib handle Tun. Maybe Najib can work with Tun and peace will be back..Najib was Tun preferred choice anyway

I have no problem with that statement " I have a job to do". I have a job to do here too. However, i suppose AAB should know that all the issues being brought up by TDM and those still pending are his jobs to answer and get it done too. I lost count AAB sitting in how many committees as chairman, no wonder he has no time to do his real job. Being a leader, he set visions and directions and people under him carry up the jobs. However, I dont think he is doing that. So tell me, what has AAB did for the last 2.5 years?

"So tell me, what has AAB did for the last 2.5 years?"
Well,I can think of at least one.
He allowed the judges to release permanent political prisoner Anwar
Personally,I believe a good question is:
How much did AAB spend for the last 2.5 years?
HaHaHa

The same Wongs sang Anwar Ibrahim's and Dr Mahathir Mohamad's songs like a chorus (BTW another M; Mahaleel Ariff too!); but pnce those people were out of office, they've changed the lyrics a li'l substituting Mahathir with Pak Lah-la (need to be 3-syllabus-lah!), still the same chorus-line.
You dictate from NSTP, we'll take notes -- they get paid 100X more than Stenos, what a poor deal those mostly female Stenographers are doing, longer hours too! Maybe they should start learning the fine art of TRIPODISM journalism.
If the stenos don;t know what the term means, ask their sifu -- TWO WONGS ALWAYS MAKE FANTASTIC 'RITES/RIDES.

The Wongs have to cari makan..so their loyalty is to the salary they earn...of course they have to sing praises..what else?
Do they really care if Tun or AAB screw Malaysia?

A: we have a situation.
Neil: eh? should we call for the IMF then?
A: no, it's nothing to do with impossible missions, but it's got everything to do with how the PM's portfolio is organized.
Neil: huh?
A: Badawi mustn't make the same mistake as his predecessor.
Neil: which was?
A: the need to feel a sense of apical confidence which leads to taking measures to surround oneself with those deemed of like mind.
Neil: you mean something like a psychological comfort-zone on 24x7 tap?
A: to be more precise, inner circles which cocoon the personage from too heavy a load of inputs; with age, the microprocessor can't take it and so shortcuts are sought; for people in high places, their problem is that when they surround themselves with people they think they're comfortable with, people will perceive that their thinking powers, to wit, decisions, will be swayed by those who sit between the leader and the rakyat. For the goal of achieving short-term administrative tempi, such a perception by the end-customers can be hazardous in many ways for the general good of the country.
Neil: replacing one group by another?
A: it remains to be seen, but you already have KJ, KH, NY and a few others in one; so there remains another.
Neil: astriding both then, who's the key guy?
A: one (TS)A, it seems. One hopes Badawi realises the higher one sits, the more rarified the air; to get re-oxygenated, such mountaineers should make sure they can see what's happening in the valleys too, which means they should constantly be aware of the complexion and sidereal agendas if any of their proxy sidekicks; do you think routinely filtered information is being read soberly?
Neil: that would be a management case-study, wouldn't it, and the consequences can fall either way. Why do you ask?
A: Let me put it another way - do you think there are safety valves, breakers, balancers, gyroscopic mechanisms in place?
Neil: that's only academic, A, what can we do about it? the cabinet's there, but if even its members don't know that east malaysians can be re-deemed non-bumis when it suits certain quarters, then you may be right there could be a situation - chasms separating the executive from the rakyat if not bridged correctly will only create post-syndrome effects. And repeat past mistakes when this country can no longer countenance them.
By the way, do you think Scomi is into mrt's?
A: i don't know; why do you ask?
Neil: never mind, A. Let's go root for Argentina instead. At least they play like a truly integrated team.
A: do they ever care from reading all these things? let's forget it; it doesn't matter; why don't we both go take up a new hobby, samsterification, for instance.
Neil: huh?
