Bekas Perdana Menteri itu turut menggesa agar Umno menghapuskan sistem kuota pencalonan untuk pertandingan pelbagai jawatan parti termasuk jawatan Presiden bagi menggalakkan persaingan sihat.

Bekas Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad

un Dr. Mahathir Mohamad dilantik sebagai Perdana Menteri yang keempat pada 1981 dan memimpin Malaysia sehingga Oktober 2003, menjadikan beliau adalah orang paling lama menjawat jawatan tersebut.

Pada Pilihan Raya Ketiga dalam tahun 1964, Dr. Mahathir, seorang doktor perubatan, dipilih sebagai Ahli Parlimen Kota Setar selepas menewaskan calon Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (Pas) dengan majoriti sebanyak 60.2%.

Beliau menjadi ahli Majlis Tertinggi (MT) Umno pada tahun 1965. Dalam Pilihan Raya 1969, beliau ditewaskan oleh calon Pas, Haji Yusoff Rawa, dengan perbezaan 989 undi, selepas mengumumkan bahawa beliau tidak memerlukan undi-undi orang Cina untuk mencapai kerusinya.

Berikutan peristiwa 13 Mei 1969, Dr. Mahathir dipecat daripada Umno pada tahun 1969 selepas pengedaran umum surat terbuka beliau kepada Tunku Abdul Rahman (Perdana Menteri pertama Malaysia).

Bagaimanapun beliau diterima kembali menjadi ahli Umno pada 7 Mac 1972.

Beliau dilantik sebagai Perdana Menteri menggantikan Tun Hussein Onn pada Jun 1981. Kemudian sebagai Presiden Umno sehingga beliau bersara.

Dr. Mahathir dipilih sebagai salah seorang Naib Presiden Umno pada 1975. Kemudian Tun Hussein Onn melantik beliau sebagai Timbalan Perdana Menteri pada 15 September 1978.

Menerusi rombakan Kabinet, Dr. Mahathir turut dilantik sebagai Menteri Perdagangan dan Industri.

Pada tahun 1987, Dr. Mahathir menghadapi cabaran sengit dalam pemilihan parti tetapi berjaya menewaskan Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah yang berganding dengan Tun Musa Hitam (bertanding jawatan Timbalan Presiden).

Susulan pemilihan itu, kes tersebut dibawa ke mahkamah dan Umno diharamkan pada tahun 1988. Umno Baru ditubuhkan susulan itu.

Tun Musa meletakkan jawatan sebagai Timbalan Dr. Mahathir pada tahun 1986. Kedudukannya digantikan oleh Tun Ghafar Baba yang ditewaskan oleh Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim pada tahun 1993.

Anwar dipecat pada tahun 1998. Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi dilantik sebagai Timbalan Perdana Menteri pada 1999.

Pada 31 Oktober 2003, Dr. Mahathir mengumumkan untuk meletakkan jawatan sebagai Perdana Menteri dan semua jawatannya dalam Umno serta menamakan timbalannya ketika itu, Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi sebagai pengganti.

Setahun selepas melepaskan jawatan, Dr. Mahathir mengecam kepimpinan Abdullah sehingga membawa kepada pertemuan bersemuka tertutup.

Dr. Mahathir lantang bersuara, mengecam Abdullah sehingga 17 Mei lalu ketika pertemuan di Johor Bharu.

Selepas pilihan raya umum lalu, Dr. Mahathir dengan lantang menyalahkan Datuk Seri Abdullah dan menggesa agar beliau memikul tanggungjawab sepenuhnya atas kekalahan teruk BN.

Dr. Mahathir melahirkan rasa terkejut berikutan BN tumbang di lima negeri sehingga mencatatkan prestasi terburuk parti itu.

Beliau turut menyarankan Abdullah untuk berundur kerana menganggap penggantinya itu telah ‘memusnahkan’ Umno dan BN.

Bekas Perdana Menteri itu turut menggesa agar Umno menghapuskan sistem kuota pencalonan untuk pertandingan pelbagai jawatan parti termasuk jawatan Presiden bagi menggalakkan persaingan sihat.

Baginya sistem pencalonan wajar dihapuskan sekarang kerana boleh disalah guna bagi menghalang orang lain bertanding secara bebas.

Dr. Mahathir berkata, semasa pemerintahannya, sesiapa sahaja bebas mengemukakan pencalonan termasuk Tengku Razaleigh yang pernah menentangnya sebagai Presiden parti.

If there wasn't a Mahathir. And the course of the nation after Tunku Abdul Rahman was left to take a natural course, I do wonder now what would have been like for Malaysia today minus those racist policy.

Right from the beginning from the days of Seberkas, Mahathir view has been racially inclined.

Until today, he is still wanting to play that racial card. Sigh!

TUN sudah takut kena ambil tindakan terhadap semua salahlaku dia semasa pemerintahn dia sebagai PM.
Dia ini apa nama orang pandai bersendiwara, perletakan keahlian ini juga satu bentik sendiwara untuk mendapat simpati orang ramai. TDM patut sedar bahawa orang sekrang bukan bodoh. Sudah ada tanda tanda dimana UMNO akan tengalam tidak lama lagi.

Dr M, I respect you as a great strategist. During your time, we really felt proud as Malaysian with the development and achievement (genuine or not) brought by your administration.
However, you are getting more and more "inconsistent" with your actions and do more harm than good for the country especially your broad-based attack to all who not share the parallel mind as yours. In other words, you are getting hypocrite and it was unhidden agenda of you rs to get ride of AAB and installing a puppet PM under your blessing because you worry about the retribution once PR form the federal government by riding on AAB's weakness. Honestly, your selfishness to prevent such government change has denied us a good governance and equality. Your insistence for a strong UMNO to fight for Malay's right has proven your political backwards, so contradict to your previous progressive political practice. You should be reminded over and over again that the defeat of UMNO is not due to the erosion of Malay's right as it was our call, regardles s the race, to have a clean and dignified government to lead us into a challenging future. The current administration was a let-down and it was the negative inheritance from your administration. Sad to say, the current UMNO administrators were only able to emulate your negative (dark) side of political and administration (e.g corruption, nepotism, interferences in judicial process, etc etc.) and failed to perform your positive, progressive and brilliant style of running our country. Our country is in the critical era now. We must get rid of such attitude if we want to achieve our dream to be a great society.

Tiada Mahatir, tiada Junid, Umno still there

Tiada mahatir, tiada Junid dan tiada Umno better still

Tiada Umno,
masih ada Islam dan lain2 agama,
masih ada Malaysia
masih ada nasi kandar, roti canai, nasi lemak, lemang, ketupat dan rendang, char kuay tiao & chicken rice, masala dosai & fish curry head

Dengan hilang nya Umno dari bumi Malaysia, rasuah, maksiat, salah guna kuasa dan lain2 yg negative akan berkurangan

Dengan hilang nya Umno, lahir lah keadilan dan kesejahteraan

Umno bukan lah agama untok orang melayu. Kenapa lah kecoh2 mengagung2 kan Umno

The UMNO supreme council must ensure that there is no double standard in the reinstatement of Dr. Mahathir after PM Abdullah leaves! Once he leaves UMNO and call for the quitting of others, he must be sacked immediately! Follow the respected action of Mr. Anwar and be principled like him!

Mungkin tindakan TDM keluar UMNO adalah kerana sudah ada compromi antara Dia dan khem ABB atau Najis supaya segala pertuduhan Pemilihan Hakim itu akan digugurkan kerajaan BN.
Kita akan tunggu dan lihat kalau majoriti ahli-ahli UMNO akan ikut saranan TDM. Jika tidak maka teori saya ini boleh dianggap relevan.

Jangan terlampau seronok sangat Mahathir keluar dari UMNO. Jangan lupa yang mahathir ni bijak orangnya. Keluarnya orang tua ni hanya mempercepatkan pengambilan alih kuasa Najib daripada AAB. Dia sendiri kan kata yang dia hanya akan masuk balik UMNO sekiranya kempimpinan ditukar. So sekarang ni Mahathir dah bagi isyarat yang jelas kepada Najib supaya bertindak mengambil alih kepimpinan atas alasan demi memperkuatkan UMNO. So untuk Pakatan Rakyat, harap harapnya DSAI dah pun menjangka langkah percaturan yang dibuat oleh Grand Master UMNO. Cepat atau lambat Pakatan Rakyat mengambil alih Kerajaan Persekutuan hendaklah dibuat dengan hati hati dan bijaksana.

All this because Lingamgate opened up a can of worms which AAB can exploit to hit back at TDM. So TDM now steps out of UMNO to rock the boat so to speak so that AAB will fall. If AAB falls will anyone know what the outcome of Lingamgate will be? Well it be filed under a cabinet called "Trash Bin" and forgotten. Now Najib might also want AAB to fall for many reasons only known to him, so who do you think will step out of UMNO next? Semua wayang kulit just to cover up their past misdeeds. Sudahlah UMNO your politik sudah lapok tak guna lagi tapi this Wayang Kulit show is really syok lah. Lets see what happens next.

Good. Wait till other ganag gang TDM resign from UMNO, TIME FOR PR to move in.

Even if they call fresh election, UMNO is doom. Choose Dollah, nothing change. Vote TDM, he vow to rule on Ketuanan Melayu Agenda.

So better vote PR.

Better, more powerful, election bullet for PR :
# Ketuanan melayu vs ketuanan rakyat
# Balkis issue
# PGCC & other miss miss in those PR states
# Freehold land for New Village in PR states
# disappearing state government documents, empty office.
# 500,000 in 3 months.

If all component parties of BN{which is merely a non legal coalition}, pull out & quit the BN per se, there is LOMPAT!
Okay! Now some 45 MPs in BN are component parties. So if all, all, walk{not lompat} PR will have 85 45 = 130 which is 2/3 of 225? Is my maths correct?

Mahathir is trying to force a new General Election to
prevent the Opposition Alliance coming to power. He
thinks the BN under Najib and his son can make a big
comeback in a fresh General Election.

Mahathir will use money to pull away at least 30 MPs
from BN to cause a collapse of the Badawi Government
before the Opposition Alliance has a chance to take
over the Federal Government.

If Badawi is smart, he will form a coalition
government with PR.

This fella quit umNO after stirring up the emotions of the rural Malays with the false impressions that you quit because umNO has lost its 'status' as the champion of the Malays. This is a good trick to avoid full persecutions by the AG even though you said you were not afraid to face the court (my fellow chinese friends told me usually 'bad' guys strike first when they sense they are in trouble). This is to deter you from getting persecuted? If indeed, the persecution gets underway, are you hoping the rural folks will come to your rescue, ignorantly, because you are their champion? Porah!!! I think you are a good spin doctor. You are creating racial tensions again, aren't you? It's horrible, horrible, *****, horrible, horrible!!! You are suggesting that you get into this 'trouble' because of an Indian (Lingam) and because of a Chinese (camera man). Why do you want to do this for, hah? What for? Why??? Please answer the innocent rakyat's plea, why? To save your skin at the expense of Malaysia again? Your 22-year nighmares on the rakyat were not enough? Now the thought of your son perpetuating your legacy is scary, scary indeed.

Showing strong leadership but with controversial styles. This is not the first time he show his weakness in the public like the letter to Tunku, Semangat 46, how he handle Malaysia's affair and now this. Inability to reason and work things out even in his party will be his downfall. I hope his down fall will be quick and swift so that he will be irrelevant to Malaysia moving foward. We need to cut off this nagging weakness in order to move foward.

So what's so great about this guy? He has all along been playing the politics or race and ketuanan and race discrimination, and it has worked beautifully for him all this while. Don't you all read the The Star to-day?

In the General Elections immediately after setting up of UMNO Baru, UMNO Baru and Mahathir was heading for a defeat when, at the very last day, he played the race card, and the Malays responded to his racist call. Needless to say, he won handsomely, this racist burger. Now when UMNO is heaving leadership problems, and political problems, he has again brought up racist issues and has again tried to instill fear into the Malays that they will lose political power.

How can that be when the Malays number 60% and that ....Shit guy has done all the gerrymandering to ensure UMNO wins 2/3rds easily? The answer, Tun, is that racist issue doesn't work anymore. Even the Malays are sick of it, and that is why a big number of them voted for Pakatan. Why are you now still talking about race issues and ketuanan again. I think the answer lies in the simple fact that you want to win the support of the Malays, especially UMNO Malays to your side. It has worked before, but don't think it will work again.

Why can't you consider Pakatan Malays as also Malays? Do you think only UMNO Malays are Malays? Surely, you can't be that big an idiot?

est, actually you don't have to wonder much. The answer is right down there - down south. On that tiny little red dot without any resources, any petroleum, any tin, any rubber, any palm oil, cheap land, etc...

In short, Malaysia should be a developed country by now surpassing Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea and Singapore...
