Is Dr M old and senile?
STAR- It is insulting to suggest that Johor Malays are weak and incapable of competing with others in the Iskandar Development Region (IDR), said Johor Baru MP Shahrir Abdul Samad.
He was commenting on a recent statement by former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad, who said that he was not confident that the Malays could compete with the people coming into the IDR.
Datuk Shahrir said it was not fair to say that Johoreans were weak. While he has respect for Tun Dr Mahathir's views, he felt that the former premier had himself created such a situation and was now complaining about it.
'This is the result of his own strategies and policies. The present government is just building upon what he has created.
'I don't understand why he thinks that Johor Malays are weak and I think it is an insult to the Johor Malays,' Datuk Shahrir told a press conference on Saturday after officiating at Umno Youth's sponsorship of books.
Datuk Shahrir noted that Kedah native Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary had control over much of the logistics hubs in the IDR with his ownership of the Johor Port, Senai airport and 70 per cent of Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP).
'Maybe its true that we are weak and since he (Tun Dr Mahathir) is Kedahan, maybe that is why he decided to give the ports to a Kedahan.
'That's why he has always taken advantage of us, but we intend to prove him wrong,' he said. -

KL fears another state like Sabah in the early 90s. -
Well, I heard a rumour that Singapore, Sabah, Sarawak and Brunei almost formed an alternative federation in the 1960s. Anyone can shed light on this?
