Not really

Most of the Malaysians love you like a grandfather figure, of course ' politic ' do get in the way sometimes , nothing personal, you are one of us too.

[@gilbertoon2077]

What Singapore today is to fufill Tengku's dream of Singapore as 'the New York of Malaysia'.

[@jayatissa6028]

Thank you Tun Dr Mahathir, you have made the right choice to contest. God willing you won! If it wasn't because of Tun, BN would still hold on to power. It's never easy convincing the majority of the Malays. Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was willing to put the past aside and work alongside Tun to bring down the BN regime. Tun had to encounter various obstacles like the plane chartered to fly to Langkawi had to be grounded due to ' technical problems'.. thank God a good friend who owns a private plane managed to fly him to Langkawi just in time for the nomination. An advice to PH leaders, put aside your differences and work with Tun for a better Malaysia!

Since Malaysia,not Malaya has multi-racial, and all the way, multi-ethnic society a well balanced racial policy must be in place ,race and religious peace maintained as the top priority with no divisive feelings,for the better of the nation as a whole.The ball iand choice is in our Prime Minister's hands.

[@denisechan5992]

Ever wonder why you said we have the same kind of people and should we do extremely well. But did not.

[@hikersdiarysg4136]

Let the past be past and start a new chapter for Malaysia

[@dhana7373]

Well deficit is USD350 billion

[@mawdervaart]

we have the same kind of people @6:08 are you fucking kidding?

[@Zailah0201]

True wat he said... same kind of pple. Human being however with different mindset. Singaporean are more obedient type and government gives them lots of skills instead of feeding them. Malaysia is too dependent on their government. Tun is trying to fix it but pple see him as greed for power and corrupted the whole family. Typical type of negative thinking.
