Kalau nak kira banyak yang tak harus diberi kepadanya terutama sekali anugerah TUN, tidak layak, apa sangat jasanya, isteri yang baru 2 tahun dikahwini dapat TUN, apa jasa selama 2 tahun kepada negara... sebab dia orang berdua status TUN menjadi murah.

Can someone do something to stop this man from further embarrassing our country overseas. Its bad enough that we have Anwar going around bad mouthing our current government. Dollah should stick to gardening.
The other day he said that he will help the government in bringing investor to our country. Till now I couldn't stop laughing. He should stop talking shit. He can never emulate Tun. Enough is enough Dollah. We had 5 miserable years with you and now we are just about to prosper. Why dont you and your family ..including that asshole son in law of yours move to Australia ..Bon Voyage Dollag Bodohwi ....

Whatever views we may have about Pak Lah we must give him credit for trying to open up the system. We may not benifit form it now but there will come a time when honest debate on issues related to the governing of this nation become firmly entrenched in our syatem then we may have the luxury of recalling the small but nevrethelss important contribution made by Pak Lah.

Being grateful is one thing but being duped into thinking he can contribute is really something else

The anon who said "give him credit for trying to open up the system" is blinkered. paklelah did not allow TDM's views to be heard - it was blackout all the way.

Chedet's blog was the one that started the opening up of voices from the rakyat - voices of concern

My dear friends it may have escaped you. He tried to put thing right in PDRM. After he made his statemnt on PDRM and the Police Commission he was made to feast on his words. Then he had to make a public apology when Rakan Cop was launched at a Ceremony on Selangpr Padang.

Yes, I agree with you he was sleeping on the job and that was because the inertia in the puiblic sector was too stong to accept change.
