Mahathir's moral suicide to defend Azmin

Tun Dr Mahathir should have gone let it be by speaking words of wisdom, but he had to be there in the hour of darkness for Dato Seri Azmin Ali and police chief, Dato Hamid Bador.

For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see. It could have been the answer to have Mahathir standing right in front of me, but he should have let it be.

Mahathir's blog posting today was intended to relieve pressure off Hamid for his original but unidentified position. More so, his subsequent comments on time wasting and distrustful civil servants are seen as self defeating.

But, Mahathir's intention to defend Azmin is too glaring that it is suicidal.

VIDEO LUCAH

23 Jul 2019 | chedet.cc
Oleh Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad

1. Saya sering ditanya berkenaan video lucah.

2. Video ini dibuat dan di viral jelas untuk tujuan politik. Khusus untuk menghalang kejayaan politik individu tertentu.

3. Tindakan yang diharap menyusul tayangan ini ialah penyingkiran individu yang disasar.

4. Tindakan ini boleh diambil oleh saya kerana saya berkuasa.

5. Apabila saya ambil tindakan ini maka berjayalah pihak yang merancang perbuatan jahat ini.

6. Agama saya melarang sengaja mengintip mencari keburukan orang. Apa yang dilakukan lebih buruk dari mengintip.

7. Saya tidak sanggup diperalatkan. Jauh sekali oleh perancang yang berniat jahat dan mengguna politik kotor.

8. Ini bukan soal moral. Ini adalah masalah politik. Ia akan ditangani sebagai isu politik.

The immediate response from a former staunch supporter was, "Bollocks!"

This is a moral problem which involved politicians, specifically one with a high position in government. 

He claimed that as "Doctor in the House", the manner doctors solve problems is by finding the root to the problem.  

The ‘root of the problem’ is obviously politicians who have deplorable morality and engage in disgusting moral activities.  

The former loyalist ended his response to say Mahathir is being his immigrant keling deceiving self, and unlike Indians naturalised as Malaysians. 

Another former loyalist reminded Mahathir that he sacked his Deputy for the same moral issue.

Former supporter turned Anwar supporter, political blogger Shahbudin Husin wrote in his blog that it was spread for politics, but the issue remain moral.

Jika kita masih ingat, di peringkat awal ketika video ini tersebar, Tun Mahathir dengan penuh yakin mengatakan ia adalah sebuah video palsu.

Kemudian beliau mengatakan ia adalah perancangan untuk menjatuhkan seseorang iaitu secara khusus yang dimaksudkannya ialah Azmin.

Kini, selain menyebut ia adalah bertujuan politik dan mahu menghalang kejayaan seseorang, Tun Mahathir juga menegaskan, ini bukan soal moral, tapi masalah politik.

Oleh itu, katanya ia akan ditangani sebagai isu politik.

Mungkin yang menyebarkan video ini bertujuan politik, tetapi perlakuan yang terpapar dalam video itu adalah 100 peratus berkaitan masalah moral.

Oleh kerana siapa yang menyebar atau dalang penyebaran video itu beliau dikenalpasti, apakah Tun Mahathir masih mahu berdiam diri tentang soal moral dalam kerajaan yang dipimpinnya?

Dato Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi accused Mahathir for compromising the truth and morality, displayed hypocrasy, and willingness to abuse power for sake of politics.

... Tun M juga berkata saya boleh singkirkan individu yang jadi sasaran kerana kuasa di tangan saya.

Apakah itu bermakna, Tun sanggup salah guna kuasa?

Tun perlu dingatkan, inti kepada ajaran Islam ialah akhlak.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, “Sesungguhnya aku diutus untuk menyempurnakan kemuliaan akhlak” (Abu Hurairah R.A).

Mahathir denied he is defending Azmin, but in his 5th point, he has no intention to take action.

He indirectly acknowledged in the 6th point that 377B was commited. And he knows who is behind it but is selective in persecuting people with moral issues.

The undeniable fact, and it is not easy for many to realise (unless deep, honest and unbias thought given) is that Mahathir is unqualified to be refered to as a great statesman or nation builder.

Too pragmatic, too many failure and too inconsistent. He is just a conniving, deceitful, dishonest, manipulative, and corrupt great politician.

Everything is about politics and power play. That is his end and only game that matter.

His comment is dangerous and even a moral suicide. But it may have been politically butuh! (necessary in Indonesian dilect) to take such risk.

Let it be.
