Mahathir Mohamad was by far the most powerful politician when I was there. The old boy is still kicking at 97 and I figure he will still have a fair bit of influence in this election.

If Anwar gets the nod for PM that crafty old codger Mahathir will find a way to chuck him in jail.
Anwar is Charlie Brown and Mahathir is Lucy.

Mahartir out.
No alliance has won a simple majority.
BN bigger losses than 2018.
looks like either PH or PN will eventually take power. But might take a few days of horse trading.
I was approached to do so yesterday but ... simply no time. :smile:Quote:

Anwar is another one who needs to get out of the political arena, he was (and is) quite a bigot towards minorities, which is not forgotten but he was seen as the lesser evil.
Interesting to see how this all pans out, the place was always a cut above most of SEAsia and could be so much more.
Mhathir utterly humiliated, lost his deposit in Langkawi failing to get 1/8th of the votes, at 96 must be the end?
Yeah, I saw that. He came in fourth out of five candidates.
Let the games begin!Quote:
