Mahathir Syndrom

Dr Mahathir Mohamad suggested today that future government leaders could open the immigration floodgates to dilute the number of Malays in the country. Dr Mahathir expressed concern that the majority of Malays were not prepared to compete and would end up as labourers and chauffeurs. The fixation about being a majority race is a necessity for Malaysia's racial politics.
Why is he looking down on his own people not that he is a Malay, shouldn't he shoulder the blame for not being able to help the Malays during his tenure. Didn't he cried shamelessly that he had failed to change the mindset of the Malays during his historical political drama. Shouldn't he be labelled as a racist over his remarks? He is no different than Ibrahim Ali, Ahmad Ismail, Abdul Safar or any other UMNO Leaders who talk with sweetener in their mouth but full of vengeance in their heart. Malaysia will never change with these kind of leaders who are still alive and running this country.For a country like Malaysia to prosper we need to go beyond race and religion, if you need model country to follow, look at Mauritius!
