Buzz of the day

Recently there was a lot of buzz about our beloved Tun Mahathir and the current PM Pak Lah. It seems to portray that the different ideology between the two leaders might affect our economic environment. Can they really have such an effects? From a layman point of view, if Tun is able to stir the economic environment, it shows that he still has great supporters. I'm not into politic but I have always admire Tun for his sharpness, witty, agressive, risk taker and intelligence. Ever since I read his book Malay Dilema as a child, I started to love history during my school days. In fact, my favourite subject was South East Asia History and I moved on to Islamic history later in the years.

Tun has his unique ways of leadership and so as Pak Lah. Both can't be compare because they are unique in their own way. Yes, Tun has been our beloved country leader for 22 years. So it is not strange if he continues to give his views on current economic situation. I, for one would respect him for that. After leaving politic, he still love his country with passion and wants the best for her. We as the younger generation, shouldn't ignore him. Aren't our parents tell us to respect our grandparents? In school, are we not told to respect the elders and our teachers? Shouldn't we show this example to our children? It's sad that Tun and Pak Lah are being put in the middle of this unpleasent situation. We should never forget all the contribution Tun gave to Malaysia.

I still remember when I was young, when I travel overseas and tell people where I'm from, no one knows Malaysia. But if I say it's near Singapore, the reation was "Oh, yes I know Singapore". So I have to explain that my country is above Singapore. Believe me, no one was interested what's above Singapore. That was then. Now everywhere I go, everyone knows where exactly is MALAYSIA. Tun has put Malaysia into the world map. Tun changed our country from an argo-based industry to what we are today. Our voice is strong in the OIC and UN. We won't make it this far without Tun love for the country and the time he sacrifice over 20 years.

I am proud to be a Malaysian because of Tun Mahathir and all that he has done for my lovely country. God Bless You Tun.
