Pak Lah VS Tun Dr Mahathir

Former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohd is criricising harshly his hand-picked successor, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. The current PM has shelfed a few of Tun Dr Mahathir's mega projects which were expected to be completed by Datuk Abdullah. Some of the said projects are :

• The upgrading of the nation's railway system
• Selling off of the Agusta Motorcycle factory
• Shelfing of the Scenic Bridge which was to replace the Johor-Singapore Causeway

These are mega-mega projects requiring tons and tons of budget to complete. This is not to Datuk Abdullah's likings. When Tun Dr Mahathir announced his decision to step down and his preferred successor was Datuk Seri Adbullah, everybody was surprised not only by the sudden announcement but also by his choice of successor. Tun Dr Mahathir was a high profile, glory seeking and glamourous person, while Datuk Seri Abdullah is a low profile person. Tun Mahathir should be aware that Datuk Abdullah might not have stomach for his super mega projects, now that they are shelfed, why is he so surprised?

Many people wonder, "Tun Dr Mahathir has cross over to the opposition already?"
