POOR MALAYSIA! he said in his new book, “Dr Mahathir’s Selected Letters to World Leaders”

“It did not cross my mind that after I left (office in October 2003), there would be such a change as to make pleasing the prime minister more important than anything else.”

Referring to the state of media freedom under the Abdullah administration, Mahathir writes that news in the mainstream media is “so censored and spun by spin doctors that the prime minister cannot possibly know the feelings and frustrations of the majority of the people … fortunately for the government, Malaysians abhor violence when expressing their anger”.*

“So things must become much worse before they would show their (people’s) true feelings in any way. In the meantime, the sycophants will continue to enjoy their day. Poor Malaysia!” **

* I do agree with him about the mainstream media. What is journalist ethics? Just forget about it.

** What do you think about that phrase? Actually I can’t argue more about that and I feel Let MageP’s Lab tells you more.
