Dr M buys island and declares its independence

The island nation would be re-named Ikutsuka, after the ancient kingdom of Langkasuka. Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, former premier and future president of Ikutsuka?
In a shocking but not altogether unexpected move, former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has declared Langkawi an independent state, determined to see it gain developed nation status and achieving Vision 2020, after losing all hope in Malaysia ever doing either.
He explained that he had to take this drastic step to ensure that at least some part of Malaysia would be able to actualise the glorious vision he had earlier spelled out for the nation.
“With Malaysia under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak going to the dogs, I see that this is the only way for me to see my Vision 2020 realised, by making my own country and pump-priming it to developed nation status,” he said.
The self-declared leader explained that he bought the entire Island and its surrounding waters from the Kedah government for an undisclosed but undeniably hefty sum.
“Ya I already kau tim with my son and Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir. He agreed and I have the deed with me,” said Mahathir.
When asked what would be the basis for the economy of the new nation of Langkawi, Mahathir said that the island nation would capitalise on its proximity to the human trafficking routes to set up human trafficking theme parks and education camps, copying the idea of a brilliant Malaysian minister.

Unhappy with the federal government UMNO, Johor, Sabah and Sarawak have been increasing their intentions to separate from Malaysia, against which UMNO is prepared to activate the Malaysian armed forces in a bloody civil war, rather than let them separate. Notice the phrasing of Johor Sultan's warnings that "UMNO and the federal government have failed Johoreans. I serve the people of Johor". Sabah and Sarawak have their own armed forces.

A bad govt without an effective Opposition is bad for the country
I am not optimistic that HRH’s “advice” will be followed up by the MoE.
First, even the excellent idea of teaching math & science in English was angrily shot down.
Second, when LKY was pushing for English when Singapore was fresh out of Malaysia, he was opposed by the more chauvinistic, (closet Communistic), section of the Chinese population, and at one time was facing a possible clobbering at the polls. But true to character he steadfastly stood his ground, got enough of the general population to support him, even turned the only Chinese medium Nanyang University into an English medium one, (renaming it Nanyang Technological University, NTU), and the rest is the history of Singapore. Blasé history to Singapore now, but a burning issue in Malaysia.
Yes, it will “burn” any active politician from both sides of the political divide to even mildly agree, let alone implement HRH’s advice.
It took a giant of a person like LKY to do it in 60’s & 70’s Singapore. Do you see any Malaysian politician of his stature, vision and above all guts, Bugis warriors notwithstanding?
If HRH is that passionate about “saving” Malaysia by, as he says, emulating Singapore, which is fundamentally a socio-political issue, then he should put his vast fortune where his royal mouth is; namely, give up his throne, go into politics, be the PM, do a national roadshow to promote and galvanize the rural / urban Malay ground and see the response from his former subjects.
If he succeeds, and Malaysia is truly “saved”, then his historic place in the heroic pantheon of national luminaries having perhaps even divine status is assured; much much more than what he could have accomplished as one Sultan among nine others.
Heck, even LKY whom he so admired wouldn’t be able to do that.
LKY will salute him from the grave.
