Jeff, i can confrim it 100%. the admin of gen-m just gave me a call, i have update the site, and some info in my blog.
i Shall keep opnn updating when there is more news.

JEFF OOI says: Thanks Brother. Keep the info coming once accuracy confirmed.

It was the first news on ntv7's noon Midday Edition news just now. The police are investigating

Hmm... interesting to know that both TDM & DSAI used sun-roofed Pajeros as a tool to get their messages across.

Maybe car companies should sponsor/loan their sun-roofed SUVs to controversial/vocal politicians, due to the attention they gain.

Other companies can then place ads on those vehicles too... TDM can advertise his roti shop...

I hope TDM is all right. No matter what kind of a person he is, that is not the way for his enemies and people who don't like him should use...

Looks like this is going to be war. TDM wont take this lying down, he may get so pissed off, his attack will be more stinging.

This is showtime.

yeah, i agree..that should never be a way to treat any guy.
my, the mkini news does sounds alarming. !!!

Didn't he use similar means, through the Police, to break up demos, against him when he was in power?

The amount of double standards and hypocricy in the land knows no bound.

That said, if we condone what was done, we will be no better that these hypocrites. And I am and will be more civilised that. Violence of any kind is wrong.

Maybe someone can tell the Police and the UNMO and PAS demos in KL/JB that? Or these principles are too difficult for them??

Yes but my personal experience tell me that TDM is very good in Wayang,so I am not too sure what exactly happened.

All politicans are crooks,out to BullShit the voters.

I bet the assailant probably connected in some way to him or his supporter, whether he knew or not. Remember May 13? Who started it first, if not...? May God save us from another civil unrest because of this man.

aah, and the conspiracy theory starts to ring a bell..

at 12.45am, an hour after jeffooi broke the story, nst, the star and bernama has yet to carry the story. Maybe no approval obtained yet.

sorry, 12.45pm, apologies.

You seem to be implying that May 13 was started first by Mahathir. Pray enlighten us.

Ya, shouldn't treat that guy this way. We should be more civilised - just throw him in jail, give him a couple of black eyes and charge him in court for sodomy.

That would be poetic justice...

Mahathir looks younger than his octogenarian age.

No wonder the man has much fighting energy left.

Compare that to lethargic Pak Lah.

That is a cowardly act from his enemy.

We human have brains, therefore all should debate, dialogue and hold discussion on conflicting issues.

Resorting to physical attack is just plain ball-less aka bukan jantan.

wrathofgrapes tastes better on friday -- day of loving and gving.
Poetic justice indeed, in deed -- the rouble is that in Malaysia, we do NOT know who's gifting, who is receiving.
Wait until Anwar Ibrahim sits on PM's chair -- the mostest poetic justice deliverer as NegaraKu deserves, because Anwar also reads The Bard. He knows what Poetry and ADIL is all about.

Pepper spray or tear gas??? It's a lot different. Teargas is illegal. How can one get hold of it?

I have faith that God will never forsake his good people.

If we fight for the future of humanity, we shall never be afraid.

Small price to pay compared to the black-eye ..

Nevertheless I don't condone any violence to achieve one's political goal.

peace

That is a cowardly act from his enemy.

We human have brains, therefore all should debate, dialogue and hold discussion on conflicting issues.

Resorting to physical attack is just plain ball-less aka bukan jantan.

ISnt that the same way AAB is using now to ban IFC talks/forums? WHere got such thing call discussion in Msia? If u cant beat them, u ban them. U use mobs.

GUess what? Mob rules again. Could this be the same guy from UPM?

Thought it was pepper spray not tear gas?

If it's tear gas, everyone in the vicinity would suffer.

Either way it's not very civilised.

CSH, I am not saying Mahathir directly incited the May 13 tragedy. But his open letter to Tunku is remembered as part of it.
Back to the issue here, probably the person is someone who hates him so much. Remember that Mahathir fighted many people from the ordinary people to judges to kings during his tenure as the Prime Minister. He surely has lots of enemy from outside and within.

Sit still and wait for somebody upload the whole incident to YouTube.

It will be biggest joke in the world if no video cam on spot.

Someone so desperate to use this move. Singapore agents?

Well what can I all say ...just that ..a taste of his own medicine ... remember the FRU's water canon spray during DSAI's reformasi ! Now he knows what the rakyat feel then!

Attacker is an UMNO member. See Malaysia Today. http://www.malaysia-today.net/Blog-e/2006/07/latest-update-on-attack-on-mahathir.htm

Latest update on the attack on Mahathir

Malaysia Today

According to the latest report received by Malaysia Today, Datuk Nik Safia bin Nik Yussof was the ‘unidentified person’ who sprayed Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with either mace or pepper spray.

Datuk Nik Safia, one-time Deputy Chairman of Umno Kuala Kerai, had earlier stormed into the airport with six tough-looking bouncers in boots and leather jackets and confronted Tan Sri Abdullah Ahmad (ex-Member of Parliament Kok Lanas). He then demanded that he be allowed to ‘take’ Tun Dr Mahathir.

Tan Sri Abdullah would not engage Datuk Nik Safia who then said that he would ‘take’ Mahathir at all costs.

When Mahathir arrived he was ushered into Datuk Ibrahim Ali’s Pajero. Datuk Nik Safia then sprayed mace into the Pajero and grabbed the shocked Mahathir and bundled him into his (Datuk Nik Safia) own car and zoomed off.

while you guys are bz in KB, some organized demo is happening infront of US embassy in Jalan Tun Razak

Initial unconfirmed FR is that UMNO boys are behind this ...

Desiderata - should have listened to your previous advice and send them a couple of bottle of wines.

Yes, weekend is here. Time to sit back, put up the legs and sip them fermented grape juice.

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence....

(used to be able to memorise this be heart)

Let him taste his own medicine....dulu he & his agen2nya dok bantai orang tak bersalah dengan pepper spray & tear gas.

Poetic justice? Done by none other than an UMNO member? These should set many tongues a-wagging ;D IMHO, rivalry between different camps rears its ugly head once again. No wonder UMNO can't wrest control in K'tan! We'll definitely hear more of this incident in the next few hours.

This time pepper but next time may be bullet

Are these people trying to do a "Nazri"...to be a hero. First we have one trying to show off by publicly calling Tun not jantan. Now we have another with spray..next person..what will he do..??? bodily harm?

AAB has really lost control..If reports are true that the assailant is an UMNO member..then the UMNO president must be held responsible.

Weird. Some people always like to take the moral high ground when judging others. And the very same people will also stoop low enough to wish ill on others.

Whatever wrong Tun did (hey, nobody's perfect), he did not deserve to be physically "injured".

This country is now controlled by the mob. Mob rules man! Not happy with anything, just hold a demonstration but make sure you either carry the right flag or have the right politician with you.

Perhaps, there will be a market for "politician for hire" for mob sessions.

Anwar ditumbuk Ketua Polis Negara, Mahathir dibedih air lada oleh Datuk Nik Safia, bekas Timbalan Pengerusi Umno Kuala Kerai; BADAWI? Akan datang .... Khairy ..

Rival supporters of TDM and one of them sprays the Tun. Very unlikely story. But the most damaging one to stump TDM's "movement"!

Souonds more credible if the pepper sprayer was from Khairy or Badawi's camp....but hanging out as a Mahathir supporter. So even if he gets caught he should maintain that line to gain maximum damage to TDM's and his supporters' credibility. After all TDM did not gain from this, neither his "movement" or agenda if any. The one to gain is Badawi and Khairy!

Observer: Very unlikely story indeed! The Tun was already in the open air car holding the megaphone (ready to address the crowd) when he was attacked. All the earlier versions, Msiakini, Star etc and even the Deputy IGP seem to have “guessed it” without the evidence as in:
