The growing consensus seems to be that the longer Mahathir stays on as the Pm, the more problematic for Bolehland.
Bolehlanders had voted not just to kick out a kleptocratic government but for reforms that will ensure future governments work for the people's interests and not for themselves, sycophants, cronies and hangers-on.
However, and regrettably, Mahathir is no reformist. He is dragging his feet on reforms promised the people.
His excuse is that the PH government is only a year old and it takes time for reforms.
Really?
Bolehlanders have seen how, at the first sign of opposition, his administration turned tail on ICERD after the Pm's UN grandstanding and then quickly, too, on ratifying the Rome Treaty.
There is just no stomach nor will for reforms, only showmanship meant to hookwink the gullible that the government is trying but it takes time for everything to fall into place?
Even on the matter of the controversial fugitive from Indian law, wanted for money laundering and terrorism charges, it is hard to understand the Pm
No country wants to accept the Naik fellow? But, but, hasn't India been seeking for his extradition all this while? They even had a warrant out for him!
India has contradicted Mahathir's claim that when he met Modi, the latter did not ask for Naik's extradition hehehe......
The Pm's reasoning that the controversial preacher won't receive a fair hearing if he was sent back to India seems more like a another poor excuse.
If truth be told, the Indian judiciary is a much more vigorous and independent one than Bolehland's.
And there is no reason to believe that Naik will be harmed if sent back to India to face trial.
But here in multi-racial and multi-religious Bolehland, the preacher is a divisive figure.
