This guy is a sour grape. He's going senile too.

I think he is just getting attention and feeling very pissed off that the brigde got scrapped. I heard he may be charged under OSA... I really hope so, that would shave off a few pages off the newspapers ... -
if i were him...i just migrate elsewhere with the money tat he has. enjoy retirement. but then again... he is after all has brought malaysia to greater heights. i think he still feel attach to it..Originally posted by gd4u:lol, how comes it sounds so familiar.

Some people get really cranky with age.

power is something more attractive than money.Originally posted by mhcampboy:if i were him...i just migrate elsewhere with the money tat he has. enjoy retirement. but then again... he is after all has brought malaysia to greater heights. i think he still feel attach to it.. -
He is cranky before he retire isn't it?

Badawi seems like a much more rational guy
At the very least, he recognises that Malaysia is facing a financial problems and is pulling off some of the redundant but expensive projects and clamping down on corruptions. -
i agree.Originally posted by laurence82:Badawi seems like a much more rational guy

instead of helping him out Mahatair is making it difficult for the govt. -
Is it not odd that the Malaysian Government had once said that the New Bridge to replace the Causeway will be MYR 1 Billion; and now the compensation to the Contractor will be MYR100 Million for cancelling the bridge project ?
The MYR100 Million compensation is about Ten Percent of the Project Price of MYR 1 Billion.
No wonder, MM is fuming at the cancellation of the Project and the Ten Percent has now to be paid by the Government.
-
thing is, who made the crappy decision to go with the bridge?
it would have been pointless and a total waste of money...
maybe pak lah would rather throw away 100mio than throw away 1bio and get laughed at?
methinks Dr.M has more than just "pride" at stake... -
Actually come to thinkof it, he has always been cranky, but it went a few notches up after his retirement.Originally posted by banzie:He is cranky before he retire isn't it? -
He's likely wanting to make a comeback
The bridge saga, shows he wanted to retire early and give all the prob to Abdullah to settle... Simply he knew of the complications -
so the contractor got 100 million without layer a single brick?????Originally posted by Atobe:Is it not odd that the Malaysian Government had once said that the New Bridge to replace the Causeway will be MYR 1 Billion; and now the compensation to the Contractor will be MYR100 Million for cancelling the bridge project ?

feeling jealous of MM lee as he still in powerOriginally posted by dragg:he is getting into a war of words with the malaysian government. competition 1 vs 1.... -
politicians have this latent fear of being irrelevant ....
the chap sees anwar being released and winning lawsuits, his former underlings all turning from him or being ejected from the ruling ranks, of course he's afraid ... he's afraid that he may one day be cast as the bad guy ...
their egos also seem to swell with age, and they start mumbling nonsense ....
it's just the rumblings of an old man refusing to let go ... but just watch ... he'll run proton to the ground before he's done ... -
His projects hardly succeededOriginally posted by Fatum:politicians have this latent fear of being irrelevant ....

His vision of Johor to compete with Singapore has taken a back step -
he's probably sick to the teeth that he didn't pull a Lau Lee and declared himself "Senior Minister"
-
it's just in-fighting among their ranks lah ... Badawi's number two (and the next prime minister in waiting) is Mahatir's man ... and quite anti Singapore ... this whole bridge circus is just one of their battlegrounds ... we've always been the convenient whipping boy remember ? ...Originally posted by sbst275:His projects hardly succeeded

Now ppl complaining of jams at Causeway side, this time JB blamed... Why? Their TP only report to work at 7am -
off topic: why do we call him Badawi? that's his father.. he's abdullah

ANAL !~ ....Originally posted by the Bear:off topic: why do we call him Badawi? that's his father.. he's abdullah
but on well ... I think the people of both countries would be quite glad to see their respective "old warriors" fade away gracefully .....
I would like to judge our chap as his own man ... but his father is making it difficult for him ..... -
ahh.. what would i give to ask him that question:
"isn't it about time you stepped out of your father's shadow?"
i'll probably find some people knocking on my door at 2amOriginally posted by Fatum:ANAL !~ ....

It certainly doesn't sounds nice when we look like a political ball in their area. maybe they should settle their PDA laws before settling with something so big. And, I am not surprised that Dr. M is silent on the PDA law issue ...Originally posted by Fatum:it's just in-fighting among their ranks lah ...
