Mahathir, Rafidah, Muhyiddin Yassin, Mukhriz, Rais Yatim, and semua orang-orang yang sewaktu dengannya are what we call gulungan kecewa. They whack the government because they are not in the government — and are facing mental problems because of it. Malays call this gila talak. It is quite common and is also called PRS or Post-Retirement Syndrome.
THE CORRIDORS OF POWER
Raja Petra Kamarudin
“People that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices,” said Rafidah Aziz. That was the reason she supported Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad instead of Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah in 1987, and as a reward for her loyalty to Mahathir, she was appointed the Minister of International Trade and Industry.
In 1999, when Anwar Ibrahim exposed Mahathir’s misdeeds and transgressions, Rafidah refused to resign from the Cabinet and refused to support the Reformasi movement that was fighting for change. Instead, Rafidah remained in Umno and the Cabinet and did not leave the Cabinet until she was sacked by Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in 2008.
Why did Rafidah not resign in 1999 instead of waiting to be sacked in 2008?
If Rafidah had not been sacked in 2008 and if she were still a Minister until today she would be singing a different tune. In fact, if Mukhriz had won the Umno Youth contest in 2009 and an Umno Vice President’s post in 2013, Mahathir would also be singing a different tune today.
Mahathir, Rafidah, Muhyiddin Yassin, Mukhriz, Rais Yatim, and semua orang-orang yang sewaktu dengannya are what we call gulungan kecewa.
