ex PM, the tun talks

well well, whaddya know. long time we no hear anything from our ex PM but suddenly last week, he was in the news when his gift of timber to zimbabwe president, robert mugawe was discovered.

in case you have missed aliran’s excellent write-up on this matter, pont your browser to aliran’s article ‘mugabe’s ‘gift’: did mahathir get cabinet approval?

on 16 june, he tells the malay to discard the mentality of wanting things for free.

then on 17 june, we heard the tun, our ex PM telling us that he is not getting even one sen from being adviser to petronas, proton, the langkawi development duthority (Lada) and tioman development authority.

and on the same day, he opened his mouth again to advise UMNO members not to indulge in money politics. he was refering to the UMNO members who wish to contest in the coming divisional election.

i wonder what else would we be hearing from him?
