In the light of Mahathir’s claim that he doesn’t deserve to be labelled a dictator, Martin Jalleh recalls an ‘academic exercise’ by a certain Rais Yatim.

The ‘transzformation’ of one Rais Yatim from schorlarly academic to a complete idiot makes an interesting case study of the corrosive effect of entrenched corruption (in the system) on the intellect. It really explains all the failed government sponsored projects in the past and the doomed to fail projects to come. Total change is the only solution and ABU is the way!

Like a true dictator he put a whole team of the opposition members just for telling the truth. (His administration) would … bail his son out of trouble … …he knows dam well how easy he could get away from a bunch of stupid, ignorant and desperate idiots who has no one else to turn… Read more »
