Is Mahathir worried?
Salleh Said Keruak
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said a number of bloggers who in the past used to support him have switched allegiances and now support Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak.
What needs to be noted is that a few of these bloggers who Mahathir is talking about were actually aligned to Mukhriz and worked very closely with him since 2006. Therefore they knew that the plan was to make Mukhriz the Prime Minister. Yet they abandoned Mukhriz in 2015, which says a lot about their confidence level.
Mahathir says these bloggers have been bought. Anyone who does not support Mahathir ‘makan dedak’ or has been bought. Is he saying all those who support him do so also because they have been bought?
Mahathir calls all those who support Najib as ‘Little Goebbels’. Ironically this was what they also used to say about those who worked for Mahathir when he was Prime Minister. In fact, they also used to refer to Mahathir as ‘Hitler’, meaning a megalomaniac leader who accused his number two of sodomy as an excuse to get rid of him.
