Yes I agree fully with Steven,in fact,this is a God sent opportunity.

Like Steven said, "Let it all hang out, warts and all. It's good for Malaysia."

May I add that it is also good for the whole S.E. Asia region.

Honestly, due to the current economy,many blame it on Pak Lah policies.

Pak Lah administration might sound "Chaos" due to some extend of freedom under his leadership, but I prefer this newly found "chaos" compare to Tun M "security" that looks in order.

Alas, if history didn't failed us, Tun M rise from the 80's is similar to Pak Lah position now. It is time country facing some economy slowdown. And don't forget that Tun M are "quite lenient" during the early day in the office, but turn "My way" of "directed democracy" after incumbunt for more than 10 years.

Please, Malaysia are so young and little in global map that we cannot sustain another legacy. My humble hope are the the current premier will restore the rules of democracy.

just read part of the interview. if that's not calling one out, nothing is. but it smacks of hypocracy, of hidden agendas. right the wrongs? really? that many wrongs in pak mute's 2 odd years? and that bridge.. that crooked bridge.. what's with that bridge? something more than just water under that bridge. we all want to be part of a sovereign nation, but more importantly, we want to be PART of this nation, regardless of race/religion and what not. what i'm saying is, with all this hoo-haa, i don't want the "normal folk" to lose focus of the golden oppurtunity we have to really right the wrongs. the wrongs that have been wrong for the past 20 years. bridge or no bridge, we want accountability. we don't want corruption and we certainly don't want politicians stepping up to the mike merely to defend their "rice bowls". all the characters in this drama will perish one day, but this nation will still be around. whether we have anything left here is left to be seen. we need to seek out the parasites who are sucking my country dry, whether still in office or not and hang THEM out to dry. i'd really like to see some heads roll. and we must take back what is rightfully ours. take back all the money they stole from this country and put it back into the country's coffers. not enough to just drag them in and out of court. take back what they've stolen and replenish the coffers. that will certainly present more accurate economic figures.

This could be the start of something good for all Malaysians. Let the stories thrill, let the beans spill.

Now, we have 2 factions revealing something more about the other one each and every day. Stories from years ago are being circulated again, and current suspicions are confirmed by the hostility. Neither side is bulging though one maintains a not-so-silent "elegant silence".

Let open the pandora's box and see who keeps more skulls in the cupboard.

More importantly, is what is the effect of all the mudslinging?
Will heads roll and will action be taken?
Will there be more transparency and release of unofficial "official" secrets?

In a land where RM1 billion mistakes can be forgiven in a week, I pray that the rakyat will not stay silent on this.

We must remind the government what the media fails to highlight. Issues that are not highlighted does not mean they dont exist. And costly mistakes must be punished.

We dont need another committee("satu jawatankuasa akan ditubuhkan").
We don't need to wait for the result of an investigation ("menunggu laporan dan siasatan dari pihak berkenaan").
We dont need the relevant people to monitor ("keadaan ini sedang dipantau").

I heard that there is a witness protection program to protect the whistleblowers being legislated. I hope this would start some serious whistleblowing and prompt action.

holiday : it took Tun M 2 terms(10 years) to show his true color, flex his muscle.

Honestly, I think the "rakyat" is just too lazy and rely on the premier to do "micracles".

Should there be a strong oppositions, Pak Lah will not be baggaged with the XXXL size cabinet(I think the overwhelming victory of BN is root of Pak Lah problem). Guess who sabotage(and backstabbed) Pak Lah with information that make him resume and scrap the bridge in haste?

So KK is trying to back stab AAB and make him look bad?

Branyt: Endorse all what you expressed.
Just add one important view~~
"What The Star published and cowardly retracted soon after, ...", as I have stated at Jeff's several times, the GEIC holds Permanent Rersidence in Australia and with Split Loyalties, he has to "toe the line" to safguard his position. It's not journalistic ethics orprinciples at work, he's awlays looking over his shoulders.

This act of "Nwo you see it, then you don''t" in crass comparision (I seldom do this but this calls for Xception!) "Then you saw the 2 balls, now they've vanished..." 22 men chasing ONE ball @World Cup is more fun&reliable, altho you must pardon me there for not seeing any "thread" here, or is it dare?

After retirement, TDM, who does not enjoy sports, nor is he invited to seminars in the west due to Anwar saga,has nothing to do.

Maybe TDM might start "The Doctrine Moon" publication soon.... but he'll probably have to do it online because the license to operate the publication had been launched to the Moon by Boleh-Land first astro-naut...

Anyone willing to assume the role of TDM's technology advisor pertaining to this matter?
