Najib's political career was built on the blood of innocents Perform Or Perish says Dr Mahathir

Something is rotten in Malaysia, says Dr Mahathir  monogrammed smile, which actually projected the image of a third-rate clown trying to humour the US president,Diatribes and empty promises do not work, nor does a lot of hot air.  If Najib can create a culture that nurtures talent within its ranks and weeds out incompetent leaders, it will be a cut ahead of political competition.







 Shouts of 'Reformasi' and 'Allahuakbar' ring out as  The judges chose to leave the bench when Anwar raised the issue of political conspiracy, and criticised them for "bowing to their political masters" Anwar hugs his supporters."You could have carved your names. But in bowing to the dictates of your political masters, you have become partners in the murder of the judiciary. You chose to remain on the dark side," he adds, prompting Justice Arifin to tell him to stop.When Anwar refused, the judges left.

"Let us turn this sorrow to a strength for us to continue our fight for freedom, justice, democracy and truth. We must make Anwar's incarceration worthwhile.Najhib's speeches were no more than rants. A garrulous Najib appeared to have spent all his ammunition

That statement minutes after the verdict before sentencing. also was a give-away of the Najib’s real image; the refined picture of himself that he bandied about was just a façade crafted to conceal the face of a man whose political career was built on the blood of innocents.spent crores in huge newspaper advertisements, making all sorts of fantastic and fictitious claims of having provided people with this or that benefit, this or that facility, this or that freebie. Perhaps Najib wave was a media creation? Malaysians, are aspirational. But their aspirations are different from the rest of the country in that they want the soaring prices of essential commodities checked, the runaway electricity and water bills curbed and above all they want corruption-free governance. in the country, are aspirational. But their aspirations are different from the rest of the country in that they want the soaring prices of essential commodities checked, the runaway electricity and water bills curbed and above all they want corruption-free governance.There is something "rotten" in Malaysia, and those who dare to voice out their concerns are being demonised by the government for it, former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today."Critics are being demonised by the mainstream media, by certain individuals and politicians who had lost. Critics risk their property being seized and auctioned, they may be bankrupted," wrote Dr Mahathir on his blog, chedet.cc 

For everything that may be said of  Malay politics, the opposite is also true. On the one hand, there is an increasing tendency for parties to be identified with particular leaders. This may be seen as a movement from a parliamentary democratic norm towards a more presidential type of polity — where the notion of the Great Leader as vote-catcher, as a somewhat godly and infallible political totem is one that every political party has latched on to — except that inner party democracy is far more vibrant and strongly institutionalised in presidential democracies in the West.
Winning and losing are a common phenomenon in politics. During the era of kings, the equation was clearly that of winners and losers. But in a democracy, no one is a loser; both sides are winners.

The new team thanks the old team, and the old team promises its support to the new team. In the kingship era, the motto was, ‘I am here to rule the people’, but in a democracy, the motto is different. It is, ‘I am here to serve the people.’ Democracy is based on the concept of sharing. The role of the ruling party is to give the country good governance. Governance includes fulfilling of several responsibilities like providing a corruptionfree administration, developing good infrastructure, maintaining high standards of education, boosting the economy and utilising the potential of the country in the best possible manner. The winning team will be judged by its deeds, not by its words.
The role of the losing party does not come to an end after elections. It is destined to perform a supporting role. Both winning and losing parties need to set high democratic standards.
The winning party must not try to take revenge or blame its predecessors; neither should the losing party adopt the attitude of opposition for the sake of opposition. It should not try to stall the process of governance, rather, it should offer support for the sake of national development.
