Apa yang bermain di benak Tun Dr Mahathir sekarang ini ? Dia cuba mengkritik kepimpinan negara akhir-akhir ini. Bermula dengan isu pembelian helikopter , kemudian isu Wawasan 2020, sekarang isu Tony Blair. Tun cukup marah apabila Tony Blair diberi layanan VVIP apabila datang ke Malaysia baru-baru ini.
Personally I don't care for any special treatment for me when I travel abroad. But at Heathrow, London, I was treated as a terrorist. I had to take off my shoes, belt and coat and was body searched for weapons by British security before I was allowed to go through. When Blair the war criminal came here to speak for RM1 million (GBP200,000) he was treated as a Government guest and given VIP treatment. ***************** TONY BLAIR 2 By Dr. Mahathir Mohamad on July 9, 2010 http://chedet.co.cc/chedetblog/2010/07/tony-blair-1.html 1. British papers headlined "Blair's battle with law chief over Iraq". Tony Blair was told the Iraq war was illegal by Attorney-General (Lord Goldsmith) the day before he (Blair) gave George Bush the go-ahead for invasion. 2. Blair's fury at the repeated warnings from Lord Goldsmith was laid bare as secret memos were published by the Chilcot Inquiry on the British involvement in the Iraq war after the memos were declassified by the Government. 3. On the memo by Lord Goldsmith, the Attroney-General, Blair scribbled, "I just don't understand this". The memo was published in British newspapers. 4. When Bush said on January 31st 2003, that bombing (of Iraq) would begin in mid-March, David Manning, the PM's chief foreign policy adviser recorded Blair's reaction; "The Prime Minister said he was solidly behind the President". 5. It is not surprising therefore that the US has "honoured" Blair with a medal and GBP 67,000. 6. The award according to David Eisner of the National Constitution Centre of America is because "Tony Blair has significantly furthered the expansion of freedom, self governance, equality and peaceful co-existence". It is the height of hypocrisy. 7. Malaysian Achievers should be happy that they are not alone in their admiration of Tony Blair. But anti-war campaigners reacted furiously and Andrew Burgin of the Stop the War Coalition said, "This is unbelievable. It is a reward for supporting Bush in the war against Iraq". 8. "It is the deaths of a million people in Iraq that Blair should be remembered for". 9. True to his ilk, Blair supported Israel's attack and killings of aid workers of the humanitarian flotilla to Gaza. Blair considers Israel's attack and piracy in international waters as constituting a right to defend itself. 10. When Blair the war criminal came here to speak for RM1 million (GBP200,000) he was treated as a Government guest and given VIP treatment. 11. Personally I don't care for any special treatment for me when I travel abroad. But at Heathrow, London, I was treated as a terrorist. I had to take off my shoes, belt and coat and was body searched for weapons by British security before I was allowed to go through. 12. I was reminded of the Hindi film, starring Shah Rukh Khan entitled, "My name is Khan", in which Khan tried to meet the President of the United States to tell him, "Mr President, my name is Khan. I am not a terrorist". 13. I felt like shouting should I meet Mr Cameron, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, "Mr Prime Minister, my name is Mahathir. I am the former Prime Minister of Malaysia. I am not a terrorist". 14. But of course I will not do it. I will continue to be treated as a terrorist in the United Kingdom while Mr Moneybags war criminal Tony Blair will be given full VVIP treatment by the Malaysian Government when he visits Malaysia, a former British colony. ********************* Ahad April 25, 2010 Protes Terhadap Blair Berlangsung Secara Aman PETALING JAYA: Hampir 100 orang termasuk rakyat Iraq yang tinggal di Malaysia mengadakan protes secara aman di hadapan Sunway Pyramid di sini kerana membantah kedatangan bekas Perdana Menteri Britain Tony Blair ke Malaysia. Kumpulan itu mula berkumpul pada pukul 9.30 pagi dengan memegang kain rentang dan poster memaparkan wajah Blair dengan tulisan "War Criminal, Tony Blair, No Entry" dan melaung kata-kata seperti: "Blair adalah seorang penjenayah perang dan "Dakwa Blair di Mahkamah Antarabangsa". Setengah jam kemudian Presiden Pertubuhan Pribumi Perkasa Malaysia (Perkasa) Datuk Ibrahim Ali menyertai kumpulan itu dan mereka kemudian membaling selipar dan kasut pada kain rentang yang mempunyai wajah Blair dan memijak sebelum membakarnya. Kedatangan Blair ke Malaysia adalah untuk memberi ceramah pada satu kongres perniagaan yang berlangsung selama tiga hari yang bermula semalam di Pusat Konvensyen Sunway yang dianjurkan oleh Success Resources Company, sebuah syarikat yang berpangkalan di Singapura. Kira-kira 20 orang anggota polis membuat kawalan sepanjang protes itu berlangsung bagi menentukan tidak berlaku sebarang perkara yang tidak diingini. Ibrahim serta empat wakil NGO kemdian dibenarkan oleh pihak polis memasuki pusat konvensyen itu bagi menyerahkan pendakwaan yang dikeluarkan oleh Tibunal Jenayah Perang Kuala Lumpur kepada Blair. Setengah jam kemudian mereka keluar dan memberitahu pemberita bahawa mereka gagal menemui Blair untuk menyerahkan pendakwaan itu kerana kawalan keselamatan yang ketat tetapi telah menyerahkannya kepada wakil Blair. Ibrahim berkata beliau telah menerangkan kepada wakil tersebut bahawa antara isi kandungan pendakwaan itu ialah supaya Blair dan rakan sekutunya, bekas Presiden Amerika Syarikat George W. Bush seharusnya didakwa di Mahkamah Keadilan Antarabangsa (ICJ) kerana telah melakukan jenayah perang dengan menyerang Iraq pada 2003. Katanya Blair dan Bush tidak seharusnya terlepas daripada dikenakan tindakan undang-undang kerana mereka terbukti telah melakukan jenayah perang dengan menyerang negara Iraq sehingga menyebabkan puluhan ribu rakyat negara itu yang tidak berdosa terutama wanita dan kanak-kanak terkorban. Mengenai kongres perniagaan tersebut, beliau melahirkan kecewa terhadap penganjur kerana menjemput Blair memberi ucapan sedangkan terdapat ramai lagi tokoh terkemuka yang boleh memberi idea dan ucapan yang lebih baik. Ibrahim juga meminta Yayasan Kepimpinan Perdana menerusi pengerusinya, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad supaya meneruskan usaha mereka untuk mendakwa penjenayah perang ke ICJ kerana kezaliman mereka membunuh manusia yang tidak berdosa. – BERNAMA http://mstar.com.my/cerita.asp?sec=mstar_berita&file=/2010/4/25/mstar_berita/20100424194045
