Mahathir Openly Admitted Cronyism Exists In Malaysia

[Merl Haggard]

How is he different from Old Man?

Tun Mahathir takes from under the table while Old Man and all his merry men openly take from the top of the table.

Similar to betting, winning and collecting from an illegal bookie and betting, winning and collecting from a licensed betting house respectively.

FamiLEE (Pinky, his wife and children) have a combined net worth of about US$560 million.
The old fart has an estimated net worth of slightly over US$800 million.
Pinky's brother's family has the highest net worth of over US$1 billion.

Go figure how they have accumulated such vast sums of money!

Those are obviously false figures.
I challenge you to show us your source.

Thats right bro. They earn their money openly and legally, unlike Mahathir.
The Singapore system is better. We pay our ministers just a few million legally while the Malaysians pay their ministers pittance in salary and thru the nose illegally.

There is no reason for us to complain at all

And here we have media storm over blowjobs for contracts!

I have no doubts in my mind those MIWs... starting with Tony Tan, influenced the decision makers into favoring their sons and cronies! Tony's son was given extra special treatment from the rest of us in green. He never had to wear green since coming home from the US!

If the CNB chief can be charged for dating Cecilia Sue, why not Tony Tan? After all his son was granted deferment unparalleled. Then made to suffer no crawlings and/or creepy-crawlies but to study more crawlies! Tell me which soldier ever has this distinction?

high salaries are fine if accompanied by proportionately high tax rates. income taxes in singapore are too low. our ministers should set an example and pay 30% in income tax.

very interesting, any links? if this is true, imagine the lynching post-LKY....

to the kum gong that said "google" - you think everything on the fucking net is true? dumb ass!!

1. And how much will you pay me for revealing them?
2. Will you be able to grant me immunity from prosecution by the old fart?
3. Even if my sources did a "Wen Jiabao", the old fart or Pinky can find ways to deny them, such as asking the parliament for an audit of their family wealth holdings.

Apparently members of the old fart got wind of the fact that some American journalists managed to put an estimate on the net worth of the old fart, FamiLEE (Pinky, his wife + children) and Pinky's brother that they threatened to sue if the US sources publish their findings.

Even if the US sources published their findings, the old fart could still do a "Wen Jiabao" by asking our kangaroo parliament to audit his net worth.

Yes I stand somewhat corrected, but nepotism is a direct form whereas what I mentioned is quite indirect, as it couples with cronyism and underlings smoothening and paving the way in order to gain personal favours for their own personal benefit.

I think we Asians know this better than others, how these children benefited from their parent's position.

Are you sure that it only happens in Asian societies? According to my European sources, those ang mohs there are guility of the same.

Power mad rulers like LKY, Suharto and Mahathir all have one thing in common..

They all made their themselves, their family members and cronies rich..

you mean you have no proofs at all?

Where did I say I have no proofs?
And why did you answer my questions with a question?

I never did state that this only happens in Asian societies. Where did you get this idea?

i've never known american journalists to cow to the threats of dictators. they are protected by their constitutional right to free speech. so i find it hard to believe the numbers (if they exist) were suppressed by mere legal threats.

Meanwhile clonyism is on the rise in SBF. I like Dr Mahathir. Imagine Old Man and him ragging each other in the parliament of United States of Malaya.
