I agree with you that in general, politicians cannot be trusted. But if you were a M'sian, wouldn't you be supportive if he is trying to do good for his own country men as against what has been happening in the past decade? The jury is still out; although it's still a long shot, but if this new govt with the injection of DAP talents manage to swing the country around when the next Sg elections come around, it will be an interesting event to watch.
What I hate is that this old man is always specifically against Singapore. Does he really need to do that, considering that the people on both sides had been neighbors since history. I'm sure many Singaporeans will have relatives in Malaysia and vice versa. Why does he constantly need to stir unnecessary disputes and disharmony? Just look at how he's creating fear and anxiety to those Sinkies residing in JB now with the termination of MACS. Without MACS and worse still if also without the MM2H, these Sinkies will be at the mercy of their immigration officers on a daily basis as had already happened. Is such a drastic move really necessary? A bloody wicked old man.
What good he had exactly done for Malaysia during his last premiership was quite doubtful. Racial politics and suppressing the minority races are his ace during his term previously. What about his "Mr 10%" nickname? Anyway, the verdict of how will Malaysia eventually evolve during his current term should be in 2 years from now. Frankly, I'm still of the opinion that Anwar will eventually be played out by him. Recalling how he had pulled down the clean and innocent Pak Lah when the latter did not abide to his wants would have sufficed my judgement on this old man.
I've said before, if and only if, the Singapore Opposition Parties will unite and form a coalition party at the next GE, declare during their election rallies that if they are voted into government, the ERP and GST will be abolished, LHL will then be peeing in his pants. He will also be forced to change course if he still wants the PAP to be the government of the day. But, can such a scenario really happen? Until the day the Singapore Oppositions will "talk nicely" to each other, then we can come back to debate on this issue.
