Mahathir - should Malaysians forgive and forget his misdeeds?

As the days pass by we get to hear more muck surface. The recent revelations by PKR vice president Chua Jui Meng, alluding to Glenn Knight’s confession, of how former MCA president Tan Koon Swan was made a victim of political agendas in all probability would start seeing the curtains fall on former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

The rakyat (people) have all these while moaned and gripped helplessly over how the Tun’s political agendas yoked the nation into its dire states today. But there was no respite in the form of independent justice. Instead we saw arrests, intimidation, political castrations, and unknown languishing in jail.

All that mattered for the Tun was the end - i.e. "I did my way". The means to that end was adamantly Machiavellian. The end simply justified his questionable and highly suspect means. No one could stand in his way. That is how powerful he became despite the Constitution guaranteeing us that our Rulers and the Law are revered.

How many capable leaders were destroyed by this ruthless man
Today as we read of the ugly hand of the Tun destroying people and families and communities, it makes us wonder how come god-fearing, principle-centered individuals and professionals and even leaders are still unwilling to step forward and spill all the beans once and for all.

The Tun has always been alleged by and perceived by the rakyat as having had annihilated all his political opponents. He did not hesitate to butcher all of them – even if it meant going live on TV prime time to describe the act of masturbation. The case of saudara Anwar Ibrahim’s fabricated sodomy charges comes to mind.

He castrated Musa Hitam. He hammered out Ghafar Baba. Tengku Razaleigh was wiped out. He launched a political coup against Pak Lah which strangely the Tun himself admitted.

Now we hear of how he even mercilessly orchestrated the annihilation of political leaders from the BN coalition in the likes of Koon Swan.
Shame on all those leaders who continue to remain silent having eaten from the palm of the Tun.

Shame on them and all those parasites who have chosen to rape the rakyat for the comforts of material life handed out by the Tun to them for towing his barge of sins against the rakyat.

Time to make him account for his misdeeds
No small wonder than that he remains mum on the Altantuya murder; he remains blind to the huge and costly arms deals; no surprise he is indifferent to the BMF scandal; the Lingam Gates; and a whole host of other issues that the rakyat have all along suspected to be full of bullshit and deceit.

A man who used race and religion to wedge the nation with so much pain; a leader who did not hesitate to bulldoze and steamroll anyone who stood in his path of a ‘Mahathiristic Malaysia’; the one who blatantly, shamelessly and brutally mangled the media till it became a mere aping parrot retarded right to this day.
Even the revered Rulers were not spared. Right?

It is about time that the Tun Dr Mahathir is taken to court to either clear his name and regain the support of all Malaysians or if found truly guilty of all the perceptions that the rakyat hold against him, be made to pay the price of having committed treason against our Rulers, the rakyat and the nation.

The question is: Are all the noble, value-centered, professional and learned leaders and elders of this nation prepared to help put the country on course?
Or shall we continue to ‘tutup satu mata’ (close one eye) for after all why rock the boat when ‘I’ have benefited all this while.
