  • It may also have been influenced by Anwar's insistence on restructuring(?) & the adoption of the International Monetary Fund's bail-out package for Malaysia over Dr.M's preference for imposing capital control's to prevent further outflows of money from the country which would then greatly weaken the economy..

  • The rules of any organization are as follows:
    1. The boss is never wrong,
    2. When the boss is wrong refer to rule one.
    Rahim Noor should know the rules and must have practiced that too. Now he is out, he can question. Mahahtir will not admit making mistakes. He said all these to feel less awkward when facing Anwar whom he thought he needed not have to have any dealings. Mahathir also said in 1964 as MP candidate for Kota Star that he did not need Chinese vote. He lost.

  • Because Mahatir knows the weaknesses of our Police Force. Many people do not trust the police force - and when Mahatir shouted out the Police is at fault - many believes him.
