Din Merican: the Malaysian DJ Blogger 
Dear Din Merican,
Maybe this info can be of use for Anwar Ibrahim’s debate tonight if passed on promptly:
Petronas Profit Jumps to Record as Oil, Gas Increase
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601080&sid=aeWu28aN8TVY&refer=asia
Thanks.

Anon, thanks. Timing could not be better. Tonight’s debate will separate man from boy. Anwar Ibrahim has been fully briefed by his expert team, and policy advisers. His message to the Malaysian audience will be that when he becomes Prime Minister, the petrol price at the pump will be reduced. I do not wish to preempt him.
Just stay glued to your TV sets and listen carefully how he argues his case. After that, you can have no other conclusion than to say to yourselves, families and associates that he is our man for a dynamic and robust Malaysia. That explains a lot why the Badawi government is using all means possible to contain him. —Din Merican
Have you ever wondered why Dr M always gives his side of opinion and try to interfere again and again in national issues (especially things regarding Pak Lah and Proton)? I am pretty he has something on his sleeve and it’s either good or bad.

Che Det’s views are neither good or bad. They are politically expedient and usually self serving. He keeps changing his views like changing his shirts. But yes, never underestimate the ability of Che Det to come out from a tight corner and deliver a devastating counter punch. He is smart, astute and very combative. He is an excellent debater and quick thinker. I may not like his 21st century politics, but I admire and respect Che Det for his guts and political acumen.
What he says about Najib makes sense. In politics, 23 months can be eternity. He knows that Najib is damaged goods who has to depend on Badawi for his political survival. There are lingering doubts about the relationship between Najib and the late Altantuya Shaariibuu. Che Det probably knows more than he is prepared to disclose at this time.—Din Merican
Chedet Check this out!
You claimed you made a mistake but I call it a blunder! Your power is already extinguished after you made the blunder & so you have obsolutely no rights in deciding who you want as a lackey PM. If I were you, I would have taken a free pass to Zimbabwe where your buddy MuGaBee is waiting for you with open arms. If you want to wait it is also your right but be forewarned if PR takes control you will be the first to Check In at Sungei Buloh jail in the cell used to be occupied by Abang Pete. You won’t miss it coz the wall of the cell is inscribed in blood “Raja Petra was Here”!

eeyaw, PKR/PR observes the Rule of Law and stands for democracy, freedom and justice. Vengeance or revenge is not in our political lexicon.—Din Merican.
What Pak Lah inherited was a party dictated by the sole whims and fancy of Dr Mahathir, the “fortunes” of UMNO-BN experienced that sharp decline because the people who were previously well taken care of are no longer well taken care of. and so the inner cracks started to appear. And he appointed Pak Lah thinking exactly what he’s calling Najib now, a yes man, not expecting Pak Lah to be dispense with so many things that legacies he has put in place. cuz nothing else explains this unrelenting attack.
Andrew,
It is true, but his successor made things worse. Badawi promised the moon in 2004, delivered nothing except promises, promises and promises and continues to say things in 2008 that he cannot implement.
Despite our criticisms, Tun Mahathir made sure that there was food on the table for every Malaysian, inflation was well contained, unemployment low (in fact, there was full employment, meaning that those who can and want to work have jobs) and businesses could do well.
In short, Tun Mahathir did not mismanage the economy whereas Badawi ruined the economy and lost control over the administration of our country. Now he has to resort to suppression and repression to save his own skin.—Din Merican
“In short, Tun Mahathir did not mismanage the economy whereas Badawi ruined the economy…” Din Merican
Wouldn’t misallocation and not just inefficient allocation of scarce national resources qualify as mismanagement? Millions have been lost through projects like Perwaja and Proton – the latter managed by a guitar strumming, so-called ‘guru’ of tough negotiations, a poker player and a history graduate whose knowledge on automobiles manufacturing and marketing is as flat as his ass. Excuse the ‘accolade’!
All this talk not too long ago, about the sale of Augusta for 1 euro being stupid and all?? An ‘O’ level student in law would tell you that the nominal sum of 1 euro is to make the agreement legal and enforceable. Who do they think we are?
I do not believe the recent sale to Harley is a vindication of the former CEO’s position on the matter. The ousted CEO played poker with the country’s scarce resources and lost – as he grew rich, as did his mentor Mahathir.
Abang Din,
I do not meant to use your blog to put down Chedet but I can’t help ignoring his continuing arrogance. May I suggest that if you find it too offensive just remove it if you wish!
“In short, Tun Mahathir did not mismanage the economy whereas Badawi ruined the economy ..” – Din Merican
Come on Din, most Malaysians feel if not for Mahathir, Malaysia won’t be in such a big mess today. Mahathir must take the blame and the cause of everything that has gone wrong with this country – blatant abuse of power, police brutality, judiciary rot, rampant corruption and his divide and rule policies! He even deliberately picked a weak leader to succeed him, for obvious reasons.
After 22 years of dictatorial rule with a free hand to the nation’s till with trillions of ringgit gone unaccounted for, and huge amount gone to bail out his cronies, if this not called blatant
“mismanagement”, then what is it?
Jong, sangat setuju. 22 years (lebeh kurang 2 generasi minda rakyat telah ‘dirosakan’ dengan perkara2 jelik yang you sebut in your comment.
Secara khususnya minda UMNO Melayu has been ‘twisted’ and ‘corrupted to the core’ . It’s OK to have those qualities.
Nilai2 baik semasa era Tun Razak dan sebelumnya semua sudah masuk longakang.
