Former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad has gone bonkers again. On 20 June 2022, various media outlets reported Mahathir as making the remarks in a speech that Singapore was once owned by Johor and the state of Johor should claim that Singapore be returned to it and to Malaysia. He also made a similar claim on the Riau Islands which belong to Indonesia.
Then just yesterday, Mahathir changed tune and asserted that the remarks previously made were taken out of context and he was actually just mocking such an idea. I do hope that he can still run for the next election and become the oldest Prime Minister of Malaysia. It would be fun and exciting to watch the sly fox made a mess out of the entire Malaysian political scene again. The last stunt pulled by Mahathir lead to the collapse of the entire Pakatan Harapan government. HBO's Game of Thrones pale in comparison to the real life saga.
He can be my PM. better than the silly LKY
ReplyDeleteActually the original owners were orang asli & perhaps orang laut.
ReplyDeleteThis is why SAF and cheap NS army was created in the first place.
Let's just say that your field exercises in hill assaults, clearing multi-story buildings, and combined arms armoured assaults are NOT to defend Bt Timah hill or Toa Payoh or Orchard Rd.
Yup, thanks for bringing up the point that the real original natives were actually Orang Asli. If there were no SAF, Singapore would have long been taken over by some of these hostile Malaysian politicians and cease to exist.
