Mahathir Should Stop Blaming Others For What Led To The Day Of Ignominy For Malaysia

Mahathir should stop blaming others for what led to the day of ignominy for Malaysia.

He should bear a large part of the blame.

It was people in his own party that plotted to bring down the PH government.

In effect, the man whom many call 'the wily old fox' was outfoxed by his own people.

It says alot about Mahathir himself that he had failed to see the treachery coming.

Or maybe Mahathir thought he was indispensable and became too comfortable with himself and never for one moment thought that anyone would play him out, especially not people from his own party.

Mahathir's reluctance/failure to honour a simple agreement to commit a date for passing the baton to Anwar, as he should have had done soon after he became the 7th Bolehland Pm, was what had led to the scrambling and plotting that eventually led to the day of ignominy for Bolehland.

It is time Mahathir leaves the scene gracefully and leave it to Anwar and others to continue the fight for needed reforms to move the country forward.

It is sad that under Mahathir the promised new Bolehland failed to birth. Maybe this is not so surprising as the man is not known to be a reformist in the first place.

It is sad that Mahathir has failed to utilise the second chance given to him as the 7th Bolehland Pm to set a new course for the nation.

He will probably go down in history as the man who had failed to stop the return of the kleptocrats when he had it in his hands to do so.

What a sad legacy to leave behind for the man otherwise held in high regard by others
