(STAR) PUTRAJAYA: Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is no ordinary person and many Malaysians take whatever he says as gospel truth, said Umno supreme council member Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar.

Due to this, whenever Dr Mahathir criticises the Government, it creates a lot of uncertainty and raises question marks, he said.

"One-third of our independence was under his rule, therefore he has become an icon for the young group below 40 years," he said, hoping that Dr Mahathir would not say anything that would jeopardise the future of Umno and Barisan Nasional.

"The election is over; yes we have done badly in several states, but we all need to move forward, including Dr Mahathir.

"Give Pak Lah (Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) an opportunity to build up public confidence," he said, adding that investors need to feel there is political stability in the country.

He was speaking to reporters Tuesday after visiting the National Anti-Drug Agency here.

On the issue of a change of leadership, Syed Hamid said it was a democratic process and that everyone should be patient and see the outcome of the Umno party elections in December.

Hello Syed Hamid, Pak Lah had close to 5 years to run this country. He ran it to the ground. Zak Deros, PKFZ, Close one eye, Nude squat, Penang GCC, Monsoon Cup scandal, temple demolition, body snatching, racial tension, Hindraf, Bocor, inflation, what else you want? Give Pak Lah a chance to destroy this country for good?!! You too should resign.

This half pass six old man (TDM) is so rich that made him extra ordinary.
Yang Di Pertuan Agong, please strip off (TDM) TUN
and ask ACA to investgate him from top to toe.
That wil make him super extra ordinary.

No lah, You are so wrong Syed Hamid!
Nobody trust Mahathir anymore now.
Only the "DUNGUS" trust Mahathir.
Maybe, you are one of those who trust Mahathir.
I feel so sorry for you lorr.

Basically UMNO is rife with factions who are all out to make, or have previously made huge personal gains at the expense of the people. TDM caused much of the problems, but Pak Lah made the problems worse by not having leadership. The good thing is his ineptitude allowed opposition to make gains in this election, creating a real opportunity for checks and balances.

UMNO should wisen up. If they want to keep political leadership in this country, they should invest in Pak Lah rather than TDM. And if there is a truly reformist movement that could take over Pak Lah, they should take the reformist movement over Pak Lah. It is that simple.

What each and every UMNO leader must do now is to study who Razaleigh is, and who will be his inner circle should he succeed in bringing Pak Lah down.

Of course, if they are thinking about their own benefits, then they'll probably try to consolidate under Pak Lah, which is good also because eventually, BN will become the opposition coalition.

Either way, the winds of change have made it impossible for UMNO to keep the cake and eat it too. They have to eat the humble pie, bite the bullet and take the haircut to ensure their very survival. The rakyat wins, this time.

This 'baldy' never read Malaysia-today (probably too scared over what he would see)...

Please make an effort (your late father was known as "The Lion of UMNO") surely you cannot be "The Chicken of UMNO!)... then you will know what people really think of Mahadey.

As always, UMNO is best at finding excuses for its failure.

This time the scapegoat target is, TDM the ex-boss.

Anyway, dont let them carry us away from all the wrong-doings done in their time.

Both TDM and AAB deserve a lesson. Who should first learn the lesson? The answer lies in the one remains in power.

SMOKESCREEN...

Adoi ! Tak habis habis ! Fed up of the war of words ! All of them are selfish ruthless idiots who plundered the nation.This schemer with an over inflated ego thinks he has done no wrong and will never admit to any wrongdoings.
Syed Hamid still thinks he is an icon to the youth below 40 ??? He may have been 'I CON' to the UMNO members for years but there were many who were not fooled by his hypocrisy!!
Anyway,this Syed Hamid Albar idiot has deliberately made this comment so that we can all shell TDM making it better for AAB !All hypocrites !

Syed , come lah, Mahathir speaks the gospel Truth?

Remember Paul Keating calling Mahathir an congenital liar and recalcitrant?

In Malaysia Mahathir is more known for twisting and turning.

More famously Mahathir is aka as Father of Corruption.

Also known as the Father of all things wrong in Malaysia.

Syed Hamid, you are just one of the bunch of tikus cuba membaiki labu.

TDM is far from perfect, who is? AAB and his team is the worst. If he is the CEO of a company, he would not have lasted even a year. So are the Board of Directors. AAB, quit A.S.A.P.

Mr. HardTalk Albar is talking just the way he did on TV. Rattling off his chewer without facts. Don't you know that investors are NOT investing BECAUSE of the instability caused by R.V.Winkle? The list of his incompetence just does not warrant the wastage of bandwidth at this site anymore.

Someone should tell this current minister to start spending some time and effort delivering some benefits to the rakyat. Enough of blowing your own trumpet - we are sick of it.

Why do we always land-up with ministers simply shooting their mouth? No accomplishments, no achievements that are meaningful and relevant to the rakyat.
