Netizens puzzled why only now NUS confers Honorary Doctorate for Dr M
Meanwhile, online, netizens are wondering why only now NUS would want to confer a Honorary Doctorate to Dr Mahathir.
One netizen said, "This is definitely tokenism at its worst and to think Tun M retired from politics after so long then NUS decides to confer a piece of paper on Tun M only after this second time election into PM office."
"Tun M is too polite to accept it for a man who was candid about him meeting with the almighty soon. Another paper or without, adds or subtract nothing to his pursue and name. I wish Tun M would 'politely' turn it down since it is truly an 'after-thought' of NUS. It’s honor served cold and moldy to Tun M." he added.
"Butter...not enough. In fact, at such a state of notoriety, I don't think anything done token or not, can put on significant braking on the 'down-hill slide' effect that is picking up momentum," said another, referring to the 'cooler' relationship persisting between Singapore and Malaysia ever since opposition coalition won the Malaysia GE this year.
Yet, another asked, "Why confer a piece of paper (to Dr Mahathir) at this time and not before when Najib in power?"
Indeed, it's a mystery why NUS did not confer the Honorary Doctorate to Dr Mahathir much earlier.

If Mahathir has consistently been a enemy-of-the-state, why confer such honour to him?

Token sum of appreciation for Dr Mahathir from LHL.
Maybe LHL should be a Honorary Doctorate for University of Malaya.

I think the bad part has been overplayed by our own local years down through the years. My friends has all been affected by what LKY and Mahathir has said and done all these years. When 2 of the strongest statesman argue and quarrel, they bound to get overhyped and our press overly played up the Good man and bad man part.

This happen on the surface, but on the downside if Mahathir and LKY are best of friends all these years , this we will never know.

Besides Mahathir and wife, most of the other former recipients are PAP dogs.
