Mahathir's Autobiography

Numerous authors have found this man fascinating enough to write a book on him.

Tom Plate and Barry Wain are two of these authors.

But this man has decided in all his narcissistic splendour that he would write his story in his own words. And thus, the autobiography came about.

It was a bit of a shock to note that the book cost RM100 though! I wouldn't have paid even RM10 for it, and you probably couldn't pay me to place it on my coffee table.

I really don't care what race Old Nyanyuk descended from - what bothers me is that he fuels the flames of racism.

It doesn't matter that he made a lot of blunders when he was in power. What upsets me is that post-departure, he still hasn't learned to keep his mouth shut.

Oh well. Each to his own.

Think of Loony Tun mugshots on dartboards, floormats, toiletseat & paper, rubbish bags, diapers, jap slippers, condoms (M/M use only - pun intended), Alam Flora's new logo on trash trucks, self-adhesive car stickers with "Hit Me" words meant for idiots who still vote BN ...

Dang! Email alert. I'll finish this list another time.

P.S. T-shirt design with "I didn't buy TDM's book. Save the Nation".

He is not looney and those who vote BN aren't idiots. It's a matter of choice and perseption. I just wish he didn't habour so much venom and hatred and vomit it in his book. But the venom is only 30% of the book. The 70% is based on his wisdom and experience.

I saw the launch of his book - there were actually people buying his book!!

And you are absolutely right! His Books are selling like hot cakes! And the crowd at the launching also signalled a very strong respect and admiration they have for this illustrious leader. And trust me, those in the crowd were made up of some very highly learned people! Yes, i was there. It would be unjust to say that this man only did wrong. He actually did loads of very good things for this country and to begin with, he was Malaysia'a Greatest Sales Man, he marketed this country around the world and he did an remarkable job!
