Malaysia's former Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir, after months of letting go
barrages of attacks at his successor, Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi Ahmad, does not
show signs of calming down. Instead he chose to go round the country to voice
his grievances. And the first destination he chose to start his campaign, of all
places, is to Kelantan a state controlled by his arch rival the PAS! In fact Tun
Mahathir is smart, he knows very well that Kelantaneses hate UMNO, and now he is
attacking UMNO they will take him as a "dear friend". But he miscalculated the
risks on this score obviously. Somebody threw a can of pepper powder (some media
reported it was a gear gas canister, whatever la) the moment he got down from
his car to start a speech. He was almost choked by coughing severely. What a way
to welcome a friend, you Kelatanese. The saying goes, "the most dangerous place
is the safest place", it does not seem to hold true this time leh!
