当年前首相马哈迪医生退位前决定实行一条全新的新马大桥。由于新加坡方面不愿意建立一座直桥,所以这座大桥的结构是弯曲的,引起很大的争议。在前首相马哈迪医生的坚持下,这座新马大桥计划决定实施。
可是前首相马哈迪医生退位后,现任首相阿都拉上位不久就把这项计划取消,并赔了不下十亿马币。为什么首相阿都拉会取消建设这座大桥的计划呢?前首相马哈迪医生在今天贴了一篇blog post指证首相阿都拉浪费公款,并说出弯桥的内幕:
To cut a long story short work on the curved bridge was stopped so that Dato Seri Abdullah’s Government could offer to sell 1 billion cubic metres of sand, and overflight rights for Singapore military aircraft over Johor Baru if Singapore agreed to a straight bridge.
Someone stood to make a lot of money selling 50 million cubic metres of sand per year for 20 years to Singapore for land reclamation. This was a very attractive offer as the reclaimed land can sell for 3,000-5,000 Singapore dollars (about RM6,000-RM10,000) per square metre. The Singapore Government stood to make an enormous amount of money selling this land. They therefore agreed to the straight bridge.
That dredging sand from the seabed would cause erosion of the coast, destruction of fish breeding grounds and deprive Johore fishermen of their livelihood were not of concern to the Government of Dato Seri Abdullah.
Fortunately the Johor people misbehaved. They objected to selling sand and overflights.
Abdullah frustrated that his scheme was blocked then punished the Johore people by cancelling the bridge project altogether. No straight bridge, no curve bridge either.
—— Dr Mahathir Mohamad: Cancellation of bridge to Singapore
他说当初首相阿都拉停止了弯桥的计划是为了开出卖十亿立方米的泥沙给新加坡以及让新加坡军机在大马新山上空有飞行权的条件以便新加坡政府同意简直直桥。新加坡政府同意这项提议,可是柔佛州的民众坚决反对首相阿都拉做出的提议。首相阿都拉为了报复柔佛州人民,所以决定把所有建桥计划取消。

说(Shui4)客这门职业在很久以前就存在。前首相马哈迪在离开巫统之后写的第一篇文章家就是《Lobby》(游说)。
游说者的工作就如其名,专门游说人们相信他。如果你有看过《Thank You For Smoking》,这部电影就是关于一个为香烟公司游说的故事。
8. But now we have apparently decided that lobbying is a crime and those who lobby or who are lobbied are criminals. I say, syabas Kerajaan you have made Malaysia more honourable than the United States.
顿马哈迪医生指出,如果说游说是犯法的,那我国的首相和副首相背后也有很多人游说他们,可是却不见得他们有错。
前首相对退出党团做出的公告才够精彩:
- Kepimpinan Dato Seri Abdullah jelas membawa kekalahan dan bencana kepada Barisan Nasional, UMNO, MCA, MIC, Gerakan dan PPP. Kemenangan UMNO di Sabah dan BN di Sarawak bukan kerana kepimpinan Dato Seri Abdullah.(首相阿都拉的领导给国阵带来失败。而国阵在沙巴和沙捞越的胜利也不是阿都拉领导的成就)这点我很认同,这两州并不被西马党团当作是自己国家的领土。虽然大多石油税都是从这两州给西马半岛的,可是东马人民却被当作二等公民,冤大头。而国阵部长比例分配也不一致,东马部长明显少很多,而且很多都是不重要的职位。另外首相可以那么简单的设立反贪小组,可是不能快速设立一个专门对付东马非法外劳的部门。另外东马的道路设施也不好,很有很多人还是有过水路来行动。而水电也没覆盖全东马。至今为止还有很多议员在国会上说:“马来西亚,沙巴和沙捞越”,东马似乎从来不被当作马来西亚的一部分(可是却从我们那里剥夺那么多税)。
- Walaupun sebelum perisytiharan ini saya adalah ahli UMNO tetapi sebenarnya selepas saya letak jawatan sebagai Perdana Menteri saya tidak dilayan sebagai ahli UMNO.(自从我放下首相职务之后,我就不被当作是巫统会员)
- Saya tidak dibenarkan berjumpa ahli UMNO dan ahli UMNO tidak dibenarkan hadir apa-apa perhimpunan di mana saya dijemput sebagai jurucakap atau penyampai ucapan.(我不被允许与任何巫统会员见面,而巫统会员也不被允许邀请我以演讲人的身份参加任何聚会典礼。)
- Menteri-Menteri yang dahulu berada dalam Kabinet saya tidak dibenarkan atau tidak berani atau tidak mahu jumpa saya lagi.(我执政时期的内阁部长不被运许或不敢与我见面)
- Ramai pemimpin UMNO melepaskan kata-kata kesat kepada saya dan ada yang menyuruh saya keluar daripada UMNO walaupun mereka baru sahaja masuk UMNO. Tidak ada pemimpin UMNO yang pertahankan saya secara terbuka.(很多新加入的巫统年轻领袖放话希望我能滚出巫统)

前首相刚贴了一篇新文章,其中有一部分要与大家分享。
Politically, the opposition is the enemy. Being forced to work with the opposition is not undemocratic but it shows up the weakness of the Government.
A weak government is not good for multi-racial Malaysia. It leads to unwarranted challenges against its authority. Governments cannot please everybody. If a Government cannot be firm and is forced to flip-flop there will be a lack of confidence which does not augur well for the smooth implementation of policies or project. Some people might already have noticed this.
A Government with little need for opposition support would be better able to disregard the sniping that all Governments must face. It should however take note of opposition views and respond where necessary.
—— Dr Mahathir Mohamad: A Weak Government is not good for Multi-racial Malaysia
这就是政治。
政客虽然看起来很幼稚,不过他们可是要有自己的立场。当执政党要求反对党帮他们处理国事时,这就意味着执政党没有人才,也意味着下一届大选大家必须投给在野党,因为执政党没有人才。
其实我的希望很简单,政客不要三流以下的愚蠢思维就好了。

马来西亚前首相Dr. Mahathir Mohamad终于也写blog了。
目前前首相只写了一篇文章,质问现任首相对法官的任命流程。
或许你会质疑为何网址的名字是Che Det,Che Det到底是不是前首相本人呢?Che Det其实是前首相投稿时用的笔名。
前首相敦马哈迪医生是我很崇拜的一个人物。他或许不是个好人,不过他绝对是个有能力的人。
