BBC Talk: Mahathir Mohamad VS Stephen Sackur.

Click and watch the  interview on  BBC's iPlayer


Tun Mahahir have been invited by BBC on the Hard Talk programme. The programme really hard talk for Dr.M, a lot of sensitive issues like racial-base policies, ISA arrested, Anwar issues and Pak Lah, the conversation was so tension. Dr.M very 'smart' to deny Stephen Sackur critical question, and he still remain a strong man habit which was dare to shot back anything he can. No matter you agree or not, he is a smart, intelligent and sharp person, he is the most out spoken leader in third-world country. Even he has done a lot of 'mistake' to our country, but please don't forget he brought us to the international stage, he is the one who leaded Malaysia into modern world. Here some of the highlight on the interview:

1. Sackur charged "if people were to voice out against you then, they would be arrested. “Hundreds of people were arrested?”
 Tun Dr. Mahathir’s instant response, “Who are they? Prove it!"

2. “We all made mistakes. Just like the British people made a mistake by putting a liar like Blair to power”.

3. “It was a leader (US?) of a democratic country who dropped atomic bombs”.

4. “I am not anti-western, I’m against the bad things done by the western countries,” 

5. “The British used to call us lazy Malays, incompetent Malays, untrustworthy Malays. We couldn’t say a thing about you, so when I was in a position to say what I think about you, and then said it, you don’t like it. When you say it to us, you expect us to like it, we don’t like it but we don’t have a way for our voice to be heard,” 

6." The NEP....that it was a necessary step to correct the imbalances that existed since the British days.

Hehe....Just take a look how Dr.M shots back the British in Britain's BBC!
