When Dr Mahathir said that people in Umno has said worse things about him than MIC's slipper garland brigade, many Opposition websites and Anwar fanboys came out of the gutter to cheer.
They said that this is proof that Umno itself does not respect its senior statesman. Well if you are the sort who sees only what is written then I guess that is fine. Orang kata kalau kail pendek kena lah main kat longkang kan..
But you see, Dr M, like him or not, is a sophisticated politician, who knows how to say many things with just one sentence, if one can compare him to a communication technology, he is like fibre optic, one strand can carry so many messages.
There is much to be discussed in his simple statement because it is his hint to the current leadership that there are enemies within Umno. These are the people who have said nasty things to Dr M. People like Zahid Hamidi said some nasty things about Dr M during his days as a staunch Anwarista, nasty enough to find himself facing the ISA Khairy Jamaludin became a blip on the political radar when he told Dr M to step down when he was still a student in Oxford. Nazri Aziz said some unsavoury things about the former PM, because he wanted to defend Pak Lah. Now I don't really know who Dr M meant when he said those words, but it is clear that there certain personalities within Umno that he is not happy about.
The three I mentioned above are the most obvious examples of people who have said nasty things about Dr M...I am not saying that they are enemies within Umno, you have to arrive at that conclusion on your own lah..What I am saying is that Umno must rid itself of enemies within and this is the cue from the party's most respected elder statesman.
Or ready youself being opposition and the ruin of some other things.
