YOURSAY 'Your main legacy is that nothing matters but holding on to power.'

Dr M: If I were PM now, I'd resign

GH Porrig: We have seen this played out many times. Today Dr Mahathir Mohamad may appear to be criticising Najib Abdul Razak or Ismail Sabri Yaakob, who was under fire for the alleged racial comments he made in Facebook. But, for reasons unknown to us, Mahathir may be saying something else, such as all is well, next week.

Gordon Gecko: "Dr M: If I were PM now, I'd quit." Why don't you start the ball rolling by quitting: 1) Petronas and Proton 2) Perkasa 3) Meddling in the government's affairs 4) racist politics 5) being a "batu api".

From the era of Musa Hitam to that of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, we the rakyat know your antics and your political game plan. You may have quit as the PM of Malaysia, but only on paper.

The Analyser: The reason your successors are such weaklings is because that's the sort of people ( I won't call them 'men') that you accumulated around you. Indecisive sycophants who wouldn't dare challenge your inflated opinion of yourself. If it’s any consolation, it’s the sort of situation that follows on the retirement of despots and dictators all over the world.

Anon1: If there's anything I like about Dr Mahathir now, it is definitely this being a major thorn in the side of the present regime. The best part is that he is immune from any assaults by the inspector-general of police (IGP) or the present powers-that-be because of that can of worms he's holding on every crook and corrupt government servant. He's taunting them so hard and they can't do nuts about it.

Abasir: How can the PM ever resign when there is so much money to be made, when he has a wife whose avarice knows no bounds and whose obsession with diamonds and handbags borders on the insane, and the perks of office which allow unlimited air travel on a private jet?

Mosquitobrain: I like this sarcastic guy, Dr Mahathir. He has sharp eyes but poor judgment! All his handpicked deputies failed to stay long with him in his 22 years’ rule. High exploitation or expectations?

Turvy: Actually, it is not about the PM resigning because that will not serve any purpose but perhaps your interests alone. What your terrific insight missed is that the cause of all problems with our government began with you.

You mutilated the core principles of good governance, everything from education, to justice and fair administration. Your legacies still rule and your main legacy is that nothing matters but the holding on to power.

You banished from our land all virtue, all regard for Good. You made politics brutal. If your new insight is a visitation that fell upon you with the jailing of Anwar Ibrahim, then remember those machinations that preceded the jailing also were started by you.

You now stand like some sphinx pretending you alone have a cure for the maladies of this country, not caring to admit you are the cause.

ONG: Easy for Dr M to suggest that Najib should quit now. Problem is, who from Umno can take over? I see no one better.

Malayamuda: We have no choice, Mahathir. You have removed all the good guys from Umno. You were surrounded by idiots who made you feel good because you liked that. Today those idiots have "matured " to become leaders. And you are telling us what we told you before.

BernieBaby: Dr M, thanks for the confirmation that the incumbent is useless and the advice that he should leave. Let the rakyat now decide who's the best replacement. It's probably best to change the whole lot. It's very difficult to undo what you have created.

Wira: Najib could always play off Anwar against Dr M and vice-versa to walk the thin rope where his premiership lay. With Anwar in jail, Dr M and his right-wing groups are now brandishing their knives. Poor Rose, poor Ajibkor.

ACR: It is not that you are poor at choosing successors. You were an authoritarian rascal who had numerous scandals in your 22 years, but that was a different era. You would not last a term as PM in the current era.

Thana55: Whilst the incumbent is a complete disaster as PM, who do you have in mind that is capable to replace him? Definitely not the present deputy chief. So I prefer the under-performer we know than a novice who could screw things up further.

You are definitely not a good judge of calibre, and I mean 'positive' calibre, as evident in your choice of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Najib. Pakatan now has all the talent. Make a choice from that pool.

Charlie Chan Son no 13: Ha-ha-ha-ha-haa! Umno and the Pirates of the Carry-BN are all duds. Same old story... same old song... same old record... no big or new hit. Nothing but broken records... and plastic all over... No genuine person left in corruption land...

Senior: You created him (returning a favour?). Now you solve the monster you created.

Anonymous_1403851580: You created all the problems and are now talking like a matured person. Do you know that your maturity is at a ripe old age, that's the reason you cannot pick a right successor.

When the judges said ‘no’ to your request you replaced them, now you know what is happening. You have singlehandedly destroyed what our founding fathers created. You had mentioned Tunku as an old fool. Now, you ask yourself, who is a fool, Tunku or you?

Foodforthought: You are only witnessing your insincere legacies becoming fallacies.

Taxpayer: A dictator never resigns from office lah, because there are continuous big bucks to pocket. These dictators only resign when they are be pushed off the cliff!

Capo: Blast each other with cannons, C4 or whatever. Makes things easy for Pakatan to take over.

Semua Boleh - Bodoh pun Boleh: Resign, country die; don't resign, country also die. Better BN/Umno/MCA/MIC/++ resign. Let the rakyat choose.

Centurion: Mahathir was Malaysia's Dilemma.
