前首相顿马哈迪医生宣布他已经成为百万俱乐部的会员了。什么是百万俱乐部呢？百万俱乐部就是一个blog累积到一百万浏览人次。
Much as I saw the importance of cyberspace during my tenure as Prime Minister and hence my commitment to the setting up of Cyberjaya and pursuing the Multi-media Super Corridor (MSC), I did not envisage that I would one day be a blogger.
I note that now the government has recognised the importance of the blogs. It is proposing to have its own blog. But more importantly the mainstream media are now quoting from the blog and even dare to write on formerly forbidden subjects.
—— Dr Mahathir Mohamad: THE MILLIONAIRE CLUB
而Politics 101 Malaysia也对此写了一篇很有趣的帖子：““Formerly” is Mahathir’s era”。

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。

George Soros是一个犹太人。
在1997年亚洲金融风暴中，马来西亚经济受到重创。当时的首相——马哈迪说这一切都是George Soros做的。他指证说George Soros会这么做是因为当时ASEAN欢迎缅甸成为会员国。
KUALA LUMPUR: He was once called a rogue, a moron and an enemy of Malaysia. Yesterday, international currency speculator George Soros was absolved of being the culprit behind the 1997 Asian financial crisis and embraced as a
friend by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, his longtime accuser.
—— New Straits Times: Hatchet buried
当初顿马哈迪把Soros成为”白痴”、“经济战犯”、“吸血鬼”。对此Soros并没有做出多余的回应。就在今天，当顿马哈迪见到Soros时，他接受了Soros的解释，也原谅了他。政治真是多变。
不过这件事情的政治道理是什么？就是当你遇到大麻烦时，你必须马上找个人来背黑锅，以便可以转移视线。

首相阿都拉对前首相顿马哈迪做出了一些回应，并抨击了马哈迪。
首相阿都拉酸酸地说：“His son also had a contract. It’s just that it was not revealed and the project his son got was bigger than the one Scomi got.”
首相阿都拉又说：“ Tun himself had said before that if the Prime Minister did not want to give explanations, he could ask the other ministers to do so on his behalf. So, I took his advice and allowed other ministers to give the necessary explanations.”这让我想起很多很多位部长着这两年将的话，是不是首相阿都拉的意思呢？例如在英国建运动场的，例如上太空的，例如媒体不对的，例如人民该改变生活习惯的，例如不可以叫他伯拉的，例如首相是对的，例如正确使用国语（马来文）的，例如叫blogger要小心的，例如自来水起价的，etc……
首相阿都拉又说：“I felt sad because people who came to my Hari Raya open house were still talking about the matter. I felt disappointed and sad.”首相嘛，一国之首，这种问题难以避免的，没有假期的，开斋节您仍然还是我们敬爱的首相。
首相阿都拉又说：“I felt sad about it because he had told me all that he had wanted to say. I needed time to respond. But, he repeated (the attacks) again with stronger doses of venom. What more can I do? Allahualam, he still wants to continue.”政治人物嘛，说话不能相信的。领导人嘛，反应要快一点的，不然国家面对crisis是怎么办？
Q: What are your views on the Sultan of Johor’s statement that Dr Mahathir should behave like a pensioner and stop making noise?
A: The Sultan’s comment reflects the people’s opinion. Many people have said so. When people greet me, they urge me to carry on. They say I still have time. They say I should not feel disappointed. We support you, Pak Lah. We know you are new. The 9th Malaysia Plan is still new. Tun said it has been two years, but it is only seven months old. He said it has been two years. It is incorrect.
我敬爱的首相，不管我怎么敬爱您，你这句话就不对了。我深为一个敢说真话的人，我要告诉你说苏丹不知道人间疾苦的。他很恨顿马哈迪的，因为就是某州的苏丹谋杀一位小孩，那时候顿马哈迪还是首相的时候，就impose了一个法律说，天子犯法与庶民同罪。如果你真觉得一位SULTAN能代表人民的声音的话，我真的对您很失望，原来您听来的真话都是从贵族成员那里听来的。
Q: What have you to say about the two Cabinet ministers who went to Tun’s Hari Raya open house?
A: It is all right. It’s to establish friendship, which reflects the Hari Raya spirit. It is common. So, it is not right to say that we should not go. If you do not want to go, it is another matter altogether. But if we want to prohibit, then that’s not right. If you want to go, go ahead.
看了很多电影与tv series的我，是这样子翻译的：“It’s all right, you want to go, go ahead, don’t come back anymore.”
首相阿都拉为巫统选举事件说：“The decision was clear. Let there be an option. The option is for me to decide.”中文是不是有一句成语叫做“一人当政”的啊？那算不算一个成语？
如果不知道马来西亚首相阿都拉最厉害的是什么，看这句：“Everything is possible, and everything is also impossible.”就是卖关子。首相除了会将这句，还会说类似“目前没有灵感”或者“交由上苍决定”之类的话。
Q: When do you plan to give further explanations?
A: Let us find a better way to explain.
我想到了一个字：“捉！”
首相阿都拉总结说：“ Whatever laws that are applied have been passed by Parliament. We do have the police but not a private police. Our police are ruled by a government that is chosen by the rakyat.”(Rakyat在马来文是指人民）我发现到首相没有正确使用国语，是不是该罚款呢？警察由政府管制，政府原本是三体变一体，可是政府是人民管的吗？
