🇲🇾 Ex-PM Mahathir Mohamad: Malaysia 'will go to the dogs' | UpFront

[@bladycivilian]

its an internal matter of Malaysia. But I love this guy, one of very few Muslims leaders who earned respect from muslims all around the world. Long live Mr. Mahatir and Malaysia. Respects from Pakistan

[@rickytan3483]

You are just as stupid as Mahathir. You can't even spelled his name correctly. It was all Mahathir wrong doing. He is complaining now because Najib Razak reduce his share on the corruption funds. Najib Razak was Mahathir puppet after Anuar Ibrahim exposed Mahathir of corruption. Rest is history

[@deeijue9902]

+Ricky Tan its not, okay..we love Dr Mahathir..I still feel proud as malaysian during his ruling...my life is more peaceful before

[@rickytan3483]

[@andriylaw4601]

[@rickytan3483]

I like both of them..mehdi hasan is a great muslim debater. try to watch him more and you'll know his style. this is UpFront, just like BBC they've HardTalk, not just some typical news. every show has its style. I believe mahathir also knows the background of this show before agreed to be interviewed..

+riooooii i dont care who he is i just dont like any show which shows agression for the sake of rating, this guest is a highly respected statesman, even if you disregard that cant he be a bit courteous to an elderly 90 year old man?tun mahahir was not defensive in his replies at all why should he incite tension?

[@eidkamarulzaman7353]

so its look like you love to watch shows that is scripted and being controlled by the goverment ? even if it is a lie ? being overwhelmingly polite with incredible ethics even when they are not talking the truth ?

Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir has done a lot of great things for the country, no denial in that but he was the cause for our Malaysian racial divide. He was not just in the idea of developing the Malay race but undermining other races without obvious clues especially the Chinese in Malaysia. He believes the Malay race must always be the superior race despite what the leading party Barisan Nasional which claims that all race are equal.

[@aliohiraa]

harshest and most undignifying interview to any great man Aljazeera has to apologies about this

[@davidwee3757]

In my opinion, the Interviewer/Presenter of the Program had accused our former great Prime Minister as an opportunist. He must be the biggest idiot. If Tun is considered opportunist , Tun would not voluntarily withdrew himself from politic. Today, he will still be the PM. Our great ex-PM HIMSELF GAVE WAY FOR OTHERS . See what is now happening to Malaysia, and the suffering of the rural poor, and the many government servants HAD been forcefully resigned and many were bankrupted as consequences of their inability to pay up their financial loans for their children's university/ college educations.

Mehdi what is important to you nowdays, is how do you want to portray yourself as a tough journalist who is brave enough to ask imposing questions, but sadly you had loss your ways in wanting wanting to know the truth. As for example when you ask him about his jews comment you could even rephrase yourself and ask him is he against every jews or those jews who is apart or supporting Zionism movement ? if he say all jews then we could say that he is in the wrong, BTW or perhaps you are too afraid to acknowledge and speak Zionism movement during your shows. Even before the interview starts you already have your own narration and you are not interested to hear their answers first before judging them. Mehdi don't a questions spitting machine.

Who is the interviewer - he is not asking question - drilling tun to suits his ego - tun, in his old age, could not keep quiet seeing whats being done to the rakyat and the nation which he and his team had built and recieved credit and acclaimation from all over the world. Now he and most of the rakyat irrespective of race/background and political affilitiations are trying to safe Malaysia (including our future generations) from going to the slump. You are trying to undermine his and others holistic efforts to combat the corrupted and cruel regime. He has make some mistakes during his times - who would not - he is not a saint - you list out his mistakes, you would probrably get about 10; and now you list out his contributions to the nation and the rakyat you would probably get 5 to 10 times more. Looks what is happenning to our nation - the majority MPS (from BN) are being controlled, so are the Govt. Enforcement agencies (their leaders were changed with 'Yes Men"). New regulations being enforced to make sure nobody touches the 1MDB scandle. Mr. imagine that you have built a beautiful sand castle, along came some roudies who started kicking and destroying it - what would you have done. Look, what is happening to our nation - surely you can see unless you are also intoxicated with dedak . We are not talking about millions but billions - imagine that we have to pay, not the loan just the interest alone, for the next 20 or more years. So Mr. don't be a wet blancket - help those who persue this noble course to safe our nation

Mahathir has done a lot of mistakes in his time, this is true. Some of those mistakes may be criminal, this is plausible. Today, at 90-something years old, he is powerless, less influential, suffering the effects of his decisions in the past. Even then, his protest to Dato' Najib Razak is very much a welcome thing, at least for some of us. He is willing to stand up, fight this upstart suspect of criminal corruption acts, along with his many former enemies in the Opposition. Mahathir's decision today have to be commended. He could have stayed down and enjoy life, but no. Maybe he wants to correct some of his mistakes. We might never know.
