Disturbed and upset over Mahathir's stand by Nadia Sukiman

Our "Great Leader"

drngsc : Nadia, it is obvious after 15 months, THAT MAMAK IS THE PROBLEM. He is the problem obstructing the reform program for new Malaysia.

The suspicion is that after getting rid of Najib, he wants to revive DUMNO and lead DUMNO 3.0. Khat and Zakir is there solely to create instability, so that he can divide and conquer. This evil man is cunning and wily and untrustworthy. The issue is also the leaders of the other Harapan component parties.

They seem to be blinded by the glare of the Putrajaya sun and intoxicated by the rarefied air in Putrajaya. So much so that they cannot see through Mamak's scheme and dare not oppose him. Until and unless they wake up and tell Mamak to rule by consensus, we will continue to have instability and no reform. That is the way Mamak wants it.

Malaysiakini : LETTER | I have always loved and admired our beloved Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and believe he is truly one of the greatest leaders today.

However, I am disturbed and upset over his recent stand on two issues - Zakir Naik and the teaching of Jawi in schools. To most Malaysians, Zakir Naik is nothing but a troublemaker and someone we certainly do not need in this country. Why do we need to protect someone who does nothing but work to incite racial tension among the people? Till today, I am puzzled why Mahathir IS so defensive whenever it came to issues involving Zakir Naik.

Also, like most others, I do not understand why there is a need to teach khat in schools. I am not against khat at all, but just feel it should not be made compulsory for all students but rather it should be the student's choice. While other countries are moving forward and teaching their children subjects like coding in schools, we seem to be moving the other way.

Another thing which I believe is on the minds of many others is the actual handover date between Mahathir and Anwar Ibrahim. I clearly remember reading about Mahathir saying he would willingly hand over power to Anwar within two years, just before the last general election.

However, today, why is he delaying the transition and not giving us a specific date? Was Mahathir sincere when he made that pre-election statement?
