Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad gave Datuk Seri Najib Razak a poor rating today, on the eve of the latter’s 100th day in office as prime minister.

He repeated his previous disappointment at Najib’s idea to build a third bridge linking Malaysia and Singapore on the underdeveloped east flank of Johor because it was done without “proper study” and would not solve the increasing traffic problems on land and sea.

“Well… he has also been meeting more people,” he smiled, referring to Najib’s walkabout attempts to endear himself to the public since taking office, before dropping the punch line.
