I was recently interviewed on the proposal by former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s to nominate Chief Minister of Sabah, Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal as the candidate for Malaysia's premier post from the opposition party. I believed Dr Mahathir is old and the Langkawi Member of Parliament can be described as “babo” (which in Sarawak Malay means senile) in the vain attempts to regain power to become the prime minister.
The proposal to nominate Datuk Seri Shafie for the prime minister’s post was another political tactics by the learned Dr Mahathir to divert people’s attention because he loves to spice up Malaysian politics with all kinds of comments. In fact, whatever things he said will always be picked up by the media. To me, it is just a diversionary effort by him. Sometimes, I feel he is already babo (senile) because only senile people will do that.
In respond to comments on Dr Mahathir’s proposal to nominate Datuk Seri Shafie as the candidate from the opposition party to become the prime minister, I believed that it is Dr Mahathir himself who wanted to cling on to power and to become the prime minister of Malaysia once again.
Instead, he nominated Shafie to divert the people’s attention from him. On another note, it is my personal views that our present Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has done a good job to lead the country in view of the Covid-19 pandemic. He has also done well to revive the country’s economy due to global economic slowdown. I have also raised the question as to why Dr Mahathir wanted to create uncertainties in the political situation of Malaysia when Muhyddin is doing a good job steering the country forward.
Hence, I felt it is strange and perplexed as to why Dr Mahathir nominated Datuk Seri Shafie to become the prime minister candidate when there is a good prime minister in place now.
