No one could have put it better than this on the contempt the people now have for Mahathir, except for the writer's unfortunate, snide reference to Dap racists because, if you want to find Dap racists, you have to search long and hard in the woodworks to find one.
Most, if any, such racists would long have been roasted by their own leaders unlike those you will find in dUMNo and Pas who, if not openly feted, would be perceived as heroes anyway.
It is unfortunate that many Malay writers cannot resist pulling out the Dap racists bogeyman card whenever they write something negative about a Malay leader even if the piece has nothing to do with Dap.
That said, what Bakri Musa has written very well expresses how many thinking Bolehalands do now feel about the man called by many names like 'maha firuan' (supreme pharaoh) 'dictator' and 'the wily old fox,' just to name the more palatable ones.
Unfortunately, it looks like Mahathir will behind a blighted legacy instead of a glowing one for all the chicaneries.
