he was the prime minister from 1981 to 2003, he was responsible for the economic growth of Malaysia. he came back to clean up the mess najib put the country into, so many corruption scandals like d famous 1DMB scandals and precious government were dividing the country into racism. malaysian knew his worth that's why the vote him back but the idea is to bring out Anwar Ibrahim his former deputy from prison and make him PM because he was falsely accused of sodomy, the present Deputy of PM is Dr wan azizah the wife jailed Anwar Ibrahim. it was just operation rescue Malaysia from cabal hope Nigerians can learn and vote for the right person to lead us.

Sure,I am aware of all this. I was just a bit astonished at how old the guy really is hence my opening paragraph. Najib Razak was one controversial PM[to think that this same guy mentored him in politics].

To your last lines. We [never take lessons from the positives]. Many are consumed by just the age factor without exactly realising what the old man represents.

He says he's gonna ask for royal pardon for the guy in jail. Thought the PM held such powers...interesting.

The White people doesn't hide their age, but Nigeria you can never no there age especially the politicals

Seriously Malaysians-Malays,Chinese,Indians et al-"white"??

Why do people call just about anything outside of sub-Saharan Africa "white"?

Can't believe this.

Truth234:


They will, they have already started. He formed an Alliance of Hope, comprises of parties to defeat Barisan National, a party he founded. After Pakatan Harapan/Alliance of Hope won, they couldn't reach agreement because of too many parties with different government policies. Yet, BN that ruled for 60 years has 79 seats, making BN the single majority party in the parliament. The reason Mahathir couldn't be sworn in until 9:30 PM on Thursday after the king intervened.

This is exactly what is happening in U.K. ahead of Brexit, Germany, etc. Coalition parties always have issues due to diverse governance policies. With a 92 years anti-immigrant Prime Minister in a racially diverse nation. It could get worst.

Just like we are experiencing with APC right now.

Politics is dynamic, he won't have the same effect in this era. He did well, grew the economy at an average rate of 8 percent between 1991 and 1995 and helped Malaysia avoid Asian financial crisis by curbing banks' debt exposure. The difference now is the fact that he won with a coalition party, all the parties have different approaches/policies. Again, Barisan Nasional is still the largest single party with most seats, 79. And that was the reason Mahathir couldn't be sworn in until late in the night after the king intervened. Like the queen did for Theresa May when she failed to win the majority seat by 13.

Challenges going forward, the division and inability to reach a compromise among all the parties that made up the Alliance of Hope due to diverse ideology will hurt government policies and the very reason he came out of retirement. Don't forget BN still has 79 seats out of the 222 seats and likely to merge with Pas, 18 seats. Its not going to be easy this time but fingers crossed

That of Germany in particlar took really long. I kept on hearing ridiculous coalitions like Congolese coalition and Jamaican coalition. Strange

They had better work hard to make their coalition work or else,the BN might just be playing opposition for only a short while.

USA had a one-drop rule, where any evidence of Black parents classifies the offspring as Black.

We seem to have our own version of USA's One-drop rule, where
in this case, any trace of White is "White".

Politics is very dynamic. It is the reason APC will never be a UNIT, too many parties that came together to form a coalition party. Look at their primaries? Fighting in Ekiti, Ngige attacked in Anambra? Saraki go against the party to be senate president, national chairman still not decided. Yet, national election is fast approaching.

Mahathir has done well, I won't be surprised if he didn't beat his own standard.

if buhari hear dis one now
he go just remain thr for uk
wtf
y is africa and third world countrys still in bondage
why

I really admire those ASEAN countries. Especially Singapore,Indonesia,Malaysia and Brunei. They have made some respectable strides.

What's more? They did not have to copy the West and IMF'S textbooks verbatim as some African countries try very hard to do forgetting that different problems require different approaches and solutions.

Just look at those pictures.

JonTal:
I am afraid NL is now filled with ignorant young people who knpow nothing about the stories they see or read on news media except the side of the story that is presented to them at the moment.



For those who care to know. Mahathir Mohamed is the father of the Malaysian nation, who won independence from Britain and and ruled the country for 22 years and almost developed it to the full in those 22 years. At the time he left he was being begged to continue. What you have as Malaysia today is his handiwork.

He has returned to politics for the single reason that the out going government is corrupt and trying to destroy all he built. He has promised to grant state pardon to opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim who the outgoing prime minister jailed, and hand over power to him after he comes out from jail in June.



He is not like the leaders he have here in Africa.

Those on the first page are usually bigots and zombies. Most time their intellect is next to zero.

Exactly. And I see this as a huge problem. Soon,they will dub the arabized-Sudanese and Tuaregs 'white'.

GavelSlam:

Exactly.
But if Makarfi fails Atiku would be a good substitute abi?

Makarfi will not fail by God's grace

mansakhalifa:


Well,true.

But then,it seems they are looking for a strong man to cleanse their political stable[allow me a little poetic license here].

Thats the mistake societies make. Strong institutions not strong men fix a system

There is one scarce commodity in almost 90% of hastily formed coalitions: and that is the alignment of purpose.

That is why they fail most of the time. Unfortunately in politics where it is always a game of numbers and who gets what,they are a necessary evil-sort of.

Absolutely!

Coalition reeks desperation and most times they end up worse due to divergence of ideologies and beliefs.

The country wanted anything but the then prime minister, unfortunately, they brought a man that was terrible during his 20+ years period as PM as his replacement. How humans reason baffles me...

He used them to settle political scores. He wanted to force his one time protege, najib razak, out of office because according to him 'he wasn't listening to him'. Merged with opposition to defeat his own party and now he will be handing over to inexperience, divided coalition party after 2 years.

His pride, 'I beat him even at 92.'

mansakhalifa:


Well said,but you got me lost where you said having 200 ethnic groups 'is not a good way to start.

I remind you,sir,that Nigeria is not the only multi-ethnic or culturally heterogeneous country/entity on the face of the Earth. As a matter of fact,the reason we are experiencing so much rancour as a country is down to the fact that we are yet to renegotiate the basis and workings of our union and as a result it has become overtly problematic in the long-run.

no country in the world have half as Nigeria's ethnic groups. its a big disadvantage because of the enormous differences . atleast you are experiencing it now

TonyeBarcanista:
I don't get you Sir

I mean the 'strong institution' thing isn't exactly a third world culture. When Obama brought that up,he was simply trying to teach an old dog a new trick.

For the developing societies it is always gonna "bring on the strong men!" for more years to come.

It's a culture.

You do know that if we had sat down from the onset to define this contraption properly,things would have been a whole lot more different,right?

I marvel when I hear people blaming our problems solely on the fact that Nigeria is multi-ethnic. That diagnosis is just too simplistic for my liking. I would have loved to reel out a comprehensive list of other multi-ethnic States but then,time would not permit me.

We failed to plan the foundation properly from the onset and now the roof is threatening to cave in on us all...

He looks healthier than booharee. And they were classmates then o
