Dr.M and referendum

Media unfair, to whom?

I refer to your report “Dr M's ex-aide tells Syed Hamid to quit” (Malaysiakini April 17)

If was amusing to read Matthias Chang, the former Dr.Mahathir’s political secretary for Chinese affairs challenging the media to publish his remarks in full. It was even more amusing that he claimed the media was unfair to his former boss.

Where was Mr.Chang when, for the past 2 decades, the people and the opposition were challenging the same media and accusing it of being unfair to them?. Why didn’t he come out in support of those oppressed people then?. Has he forgotten that some of them were even detained under the ISA?.

Mr.Chang, we all know it was Dr.Mahathir who made Syed Hamid the foreign minister. In the same context, it is relevant here to ask who made Dr.Mahathir the prime minister? The rakyat of course.

The same rakyat are the ones who have made Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi the prime minister and he just fulfilling their aspirations.
