  • You are the ultimate reason for this sad situation in the country. If you had any love for this country which you and you family have repeatedly raped, you will just retire and stop damaging further the situation in the country. You think too highly of yourself and at 95, even (against all reason), you are the best, its time to let go for the others to run the country, even if, obviously according to your perverted vision and judgement, no body is as good as you. Stop trying to be God and trying to the factor that defines everything else that happen in this country. The country will be much better off without you. The damage you have done to enslave the poor Malays to the political elite has cause untold damage to the Malays. Instead of freeing Malays to be amongst the best people in the world, you have nurtured them to become a race lacking in self confidence and self reliant. This game of yours, and the political elites, a culture you started, is the reason the country will continue to deteriorate until another Malay leader is strong enough to break this viscous cycle, Go now and stop meddling with the country already ruined by you and let someone else pick up the ashes and let the phoenix soar again to great heights.

  • Not love for the country but your race fanatism will go down on the day you demised. You have done enough damage to the race relations of this country and even after a decade of independence, you still harp on this kekuatan Melayu and the special privileges when all your own people have failed you miserably and you want to keep reviving till your last breath??????

  • Lee Kuan Yew loved his country to the very end but not this man. This man has no love for the nation, only self preservation.
