No One Is Keeping Mahathir On, Mahathir Is Keeping Himself On As The Pm

No one could have written better than this

I don't want to add too much to the discourse, except to say that as long as Mahathir stays on as the Pm, Bolehland is not going anywhere.

In fact, the longer the grand old man stays on as the Pm, the nation can only get worse.

I would disagree with the writer though, by saying that no one is keeping Mahathir on as the Pm.

Mahathir is keeping himself on as the Pm.

Why? Must be for some reason or reasons better known to himself, though we can all guess.

In fact, the humiliating Tangjung Piai by-election defeat speaks volumes of the rakyat's rejection of Mahathir as the Pm.

The people want Mahathir to step down and pass the baton sooner than later.

Why does Mahathir want to stay on when the people have rejected him?

Perhaps the man thinks that he is indispensable.

Perhaps he thinks that Bolehland needs him more than he needs Bolehland.

Certainly it looks like he thinks nobody is ever good enough to be Bolehland's Pm, except himself.

That, surely, is sad when it is increasingly clear that more and more people have less and less trust and confidence in the man as the Pm.

Period.
