Tun Mahathir - Politician extraordinaire

Tun M has only one mission - getting ahead at whatever cost, and discrediting others at all cost.

His recent conspiracy theory that the Americans staged 9/11 so they can find some excuse to go after Muslim(s) (that is invariably what Tun M. is implying) goes to show that the man will stop at nothing to divert attention away from him.

Of course he does this with such finesse, so people are spending far more time criticising him for his insensitivities, rather than look deep into his indiscretions.

Agreed Tun M is not corrupted by money, or women (at least he is no 'Tiger', from what I believe). However, he is corrupted to the core on Power.

He still wields lots of power and influence over the corporations of Malaysia. Companies would love him to sit at their board because of the influence he wields into the Government and economy of Malaysia.

But is the power and influence he wields good and clean or is it the sort where it borders on corruption?

We all know what happens when Tun's influence gets questioned - he just gets fiesty and lets his many minnions do his bidding to either get those claims quashed or get the person "bumped off". Look at the fate of the former PM - Tun Abdullah. If a Prime Minister of a country can't fend of Tun M's influence, what chance do poor simple folk like us have?

Tun M. truly is a Politician extraordinaire...
