Najibism VS Mahathirism
The fear of this thing called Mahathirism that Tan Sri Muhyiddin had to assure the public that Najib's ascendancy to the Premiership would not bring back Mahathirism.
But, is the current government worse than the Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad administration in its response to dissent?
Consider the use, or rather abuse, of the police force to serve and protect the reputation of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
Take into account how the police have used vague and controversial laws like sedition to arrest and charge nearly anyone who is unhappy, dissatisfied or critical of Najib.
Remember how it was decreed then by the authorities that the name of Altantuya Shaariibuu should not be mentioned by politicians while on the stump.
Step back and one could only come to one conclusion – that decision was to stop the further sullying of Najib’s reputation.
