Che Dead
Dead man talking. Not sure from which end of the opening. Like everything UMNO, fork-tongued.
His is a bankrupt idea – raising the racial spectre just so he could get rid of a Malay leader. I shudder to think what the aftermath would be if his sworn enemy is a non-Malay.

I respected the man when he first took over the helm. How he took over UMNO was irrelevant to me – I was too young then.
By and large, in the early days, he showed he really cared for the people. In my opinion, he was successful in navigating Malaysia towards industralisation and modernity.
In all honesty, I was proud of him.
Until the Bank Bumiputra (Hong Kong) issue, the foray into forex market. The nation lost billions at a time when millions were sufficient to boggle the mind. I realise then, that behind the facade of a caring leader, lies a somewhat vicious person who was not below resorting to extremes to get his ways.
Unfortunately, over time, he became more vicious, especially in dealing with his ‘enemies’.
And in the matter of forex control during the economic crisis of the nineties, in my opinion, the success could be attributed to luck rather than Che Dead’s wisdom. He did not have many choices. Approaching IMF was a no-no. Think about it: despite all advice to the contrary, he went ahead with the fixed currency rate. Come hell or high water, without any reasonable underlying basis, he went ahead with it. Fortunately for all Malaysians, the implementation proved right. What if it was wrong? Shudder…
He was willing to sink the nation rather than veering from his known position.
He is still willing to do it today, just to sink Abdullah.
Crap
