This will be short and to the point.
On 22nd June, 2020, Free Malaysia Today reported you as saying :
“Based on our experience, we cannot trust (him) 100%.”
This distrust of Dr M is shared by many right-thinking Malaysians who only desire what is best for the nation.
Myself included.
He must never be PM again.

Fully agree with you. DSAI finally made firm decision not to join with Dr.M. Dr. Cannot be trusted and should allow him to be the PM. He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. For 22 years and 22 months what has done. In fact he is the traitor of the people/PH and not TSMY

Fully agree with you. DSAI finally made a firm decision not to join with Dr.M. DSAI is the rightful person to be the PM. Dr. M cannot be trusted and should not allow him to be the PM anymore. He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. For 22 years and 22 months what has done for the country. In fact he is the traitor of the people/PH and not TSMY. He is not for the nation but for himself only.

I have observed Dr Mahathir Mohamad since I was 17 in 1967.
Over the years, I saw him belittling our beloved Bapa Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, in the late 1960s after the riots of May 13, 1969. I saw him going through his four deputy prime ministers, viz., Musa Hitam, Ghafar Baba, Anwar Ibrahim and Abdullah Badawi. I saw him dislodging Abdullah Badawi with the “help” of Najib Razak and I saw him dislodging Najib Razak.
The truth is at last out. Throughout it all, only one person mattered – Tun Dr Mahathir.
Now that we know what is what, let us bid Tun Dr Mahathir goodbye.
Here’s what I wrote on Wed, June 3, 2020 in The Aliran:
No more, Mahathir, just don’t tempt karma!
By Stephen Tan Ban Cheng -3 Jun 202011420
Please retire before you pull more taunts and challenges against karma, Stephen Tan tells Dr Mahathir Mohamad in an open letter.
No more will I ever believe in Dr Mahathir. It’s La Paloma, from me, No More. You will be remembered by many Malaysians for the lackadaisical way you regarded the popular mandate of the general election on 9 May 2018.
Your betrayal and your insincerity is way too extreme and far too rich for me. You do not have a sense of gratitude. Imagine, PKR, the DAP and Amanah reposed their trust in you and you sold all of them out. Your ingratitude is unacceptable. Your contempt for the Other can be elevated into either a metaphor or a proverb.
Anwar, then in jail, accepted you as the PM-in-waiting, and accepted you as the PM after the 2018 general election.
Having sat as the PM for nearly two years, you turned around and said you never liked Anwar.
In many ways, you also rode to victory on the back of the DAP. And you now say you do not like the DAP after such a magnificent comeback when even your former political secretary, Matthias Chang, sold the tune that you had changed. How did you treat Matthias Chang after the victory? You threw him under the bus, you ingrate!
You may have thought at 94, 95 and 96, no karma can ever overtake you. Think of your children and grandchildren, Dr M. Are they exempt?
Despite the aforesaid, I wish you and your descendants well. Please retire before you pull more taunts and challenges against karma, Dr M.
Just retire. You have had more than your fair share of the political spoils while in office in this land of Mahsuri’s curse for more than 24 years!

I am also unsure whether Anwar can be trusted, as well.

I am nasty and I too, am tempting karma. But the only way to break Mahathir’s nastiness, I am sorry to say, is to break his will to live. Think of Johnny Cash, as he sang ” I keep a close watch on this heart of mine…” and he died… heart-broken.

Having seen the PN govt for over 100 days I think I can trust our Atok for one last time to rid the kleptos……. Just allow him to steer the boat back on its course but not to sail into the unknown future! Without Atok it will be a snap election which is a greater unknown….
