ALOR STAR: Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has turned down an offer to become adviser to the Kedah state government.Mentri Besar Azizan Abdul Razak said Dr Mahathir declined the offer, saying Umno would never recapture Kedah if he started advising the state.
Azizan said he offered Dr Mahathir the post during a meeting at Dr Mahathir’s residence in Kuala Lumpur recently.
“We want what is best for Kedah. We should put aside our political differences to formulate strategies to ensure Kedahans have a better future,’’ he said.
Azizan said he believed in open policies that transcend political boundaries.
Azizan said Dr Mahathir advised him to continue with what he had done so far.
“I have put a stop to unnecessary draining of state funds.
“I have taken measures to check corrupt practices. We only deal with matters over the table and not under the table,’’ he said.
Azizan, who is also state PAS commissioner, assured supporters that his meeting with Dr Mahathir had nothing to do with politics.

If I may,
From another angle, how magnanimous and appropriate for Azizan to ask advice from an experienced and renown statesman like Tun M.
It's disheartening that a leader from PAS is willing to meet Tun M but Umno's own leader and menteri besar never bother to ask Tun M any advice in administering their own state under the present economic conditions. Bravo to Azizan. Shame on all Umno Menteri Besar and Chief Minister.
Kacang lupakan kulit.
Masakan tak kenal mana manikam dan jauhari.
from that angle, you r right jebat.its but tun has always had umno in his heart.
he did advice azizan but he declined the post of an adviser.
hello tunku,
Its obvious in the heart of public they knew that Tun is one of the greatest leader in the world.
The whole world recognized his credibility as prime minister of Malaysia.
His contributions is magnificent and will never be forgotten by the citizens. The actions for recover of 1998 economy crisis is just one example of his excellent leadership.
Till today, people would still need of his advise regarding every issues in the country. That's enough to explain how outstanding he is.
