" view all videos of Tun in Johor Bahru on Saturday,
10 February 2007 at Malaysia-Today or on Youtube "

Tun Dr. Mahathir speaking at a forum in Johor Baru, warned Pak Lah, whose son-in-law Khairy is an ambitious politician, against forming a political dynasty. He said . . . "Don't try to make your son or son-in-law as the PM," Tun, telling the 400-strong crowd during a seminar on the challenges faced by the country to achieve 2020 organised by Kelab Maya Umno (Umno Cyber Club). He also said . . . "I hope all Malaysians would oppose any attempts to start a dynasty. In our country anybody can become the PM even the fisherman." This could mark the start of a second round of an "Pak Lah-Mahathir" fight which will unsettled us as well as our foreign investors. Lastly he said . . . "I feel very sad because UMNO has now changed. Today it is not ready to hear what it doesn't want to hear, there's climate of fear."

He also talk about the bridge project to replace the causeway saying that it should have been continued as it would have benefited the country since it would have taken ships only three hours instead of 24 hours to sail from Port of Tanjung Pelepas in western Johor to Pasir Gudang in the eastern side. And urging the government to revive water talks with Singapore. More news reading here and here.

As of now, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has been admitted to the National Heart Institute (IJN) for a medical check-up following a bout of flu."Mahathir is expected to be kept under observation for the next few days pending doctors' advice," his aide Sufi Yusoff said in a statement here. Let's pray for his speedy recovery. Have a good rest and get well soon, Tun. We will pray for you 'amin', may god bless you and family.

Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed on Bush, Blair, Howard in "Expose War Crimes: Criminalise War"

" war criminal, killer of children, liar "

" Criminalising War: Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed on YouTube "

This event was attended by more than 3,000 participants and foreign delegates. It was also attended by local dignitaries including several of Malaysia's top judges. Despite the importance of event and the evidence presented on US war crimes, Western media coverage wasn't that much on this issue.

Our outspoken Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed, won a standing ovation after opening the event with a call for Bush, Blair, Howard to be tried by an unofficial tribunal for war crimes in Iraq."We should not hang Blair if the tribunal finds him guilty, but he should always carry the label 'War Criminal, Killer of Children, Liar'," said Tun in an hour-long speech illustrated by pictures of wounded children, deformed babies and tortured men. "And so should Bush and the pocket Bush of the Bushland of Australia," he said, referring to Prime Minister John Howard, a 'buddy' ally in the US-led war on terror.

Try watching this DVD Truth, Lies and Intelligence, to understand more about Bush, Blair, Howard lies. Done by veteran journalist, broadcaster and filmmaker Carmel Travers. His documentary examines the response of the intelligence community to the war in Iraq.

Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed has been leading this campaign to highlight what he calls the human rights abuses and hypocrisy of US-led forces fighting for democracy in the Middle East which I wholeheartly support. Please visit the War Crimes Exhibit (admission is free), which began this Monday and will be held until Sunday at PUTRA WORLD TRADE CENTRE. The exhibit contains documentary evidence of US sponsored war crimes.
