"Che Det" - The yes and no man

I believe when you see the title you would have know what I want to say about this old man

He is the premier of Malaysia from 1981-2003. He is so energetic yet so powerful when he successfully toppled his handpicked successor after stepping down in 2003.

I want to pass my personal comments on him today.

- I salute him for the fast action take in stopping the economic turmoil that hit Malaysia and successfully brought us out from the 1997 Asia financial crisis.

- During his tenor as PM, he managed to planned & implemented many mega infrastructure projects such as the Penang Bridge, KLIA airport, The KLCC, The Putrajaya and as well as the iconic Privatise Highway.

- He managed to wash hand in the Highway concession issue by simply citing his incompetence ministers/staffs who signed all the lopsided agreements that eventually makes the people "highway slave"

- During his tenor as premier also, he started the national car projects that make all the Malaysian suffers. Malaysian forced to pay extra price to buy an incompetence, quality compromised car. I am once the victim as well.

- It is during his time, the corruption runs high. However he was shield under regional and world economy booming period. Unlike his immediate successor whom are not so lucky, the moment he took over the helm from him, the treasury are basically empty, he has to bear his blunder that accumulated for 22 years.

- He is very forgetful guy as well, he tend to forgot the bad things he did and very good in remembering what he had done good. Sometimes even things happened during his childhood, he also can recalled clearly. The most iconic event is when he testify in the "Lingam Tape" that look like him sounds like him and is not him.

- He tend to flip-flop as well. When he accused Tun Abdullah flip-flopping, he did the same thing. The most memorable one is that he said he wouldn't immulate Lee Kuan Yew who retired as PM as singapore and continues to served as a senior minister. However, he is worst. He continues to sabotage his own party until the the collapse of ruling party 2/3 majority in the parliament. Najib should thank him and thats why his son was appointed deputy minister in return even though the son lost in the youth chief race.
