“If I contest, I will definitely be accused of being a
homosexual, of having sex with animals and others. You do not know him
(Dr M) like I do. At that time, I also did not have the financial clout.
All monies were held by Daim.”
That is a translation of what Malaysia’s fifth Deputy Prime Minister Musa Hitam (1981-1986) had to say about the evil and racist Mahathir Mohamad whom he served for five years.
Malaysia’s seventh Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim (1993-1998) paid and is still paying a heavy price for having the courage to defy and challenge Mahathir and the Umno-led Barisan Nasional (BN) system.
The only difference between Musa and Anwar is that the latter seems to have the stamina and resolution to wage a protracted political battle against Mahathir and BN-Umno.

Dr M is really that bad
The not-so-flattering words hurled at Mahathir and Daim by Musa, and by many other former BN-Umno leaders are telling.
As deputy prime ministers, each having served only five years under Mahathir’s 22-year authoritarian regime, they surely know the dirt in the Mahathir-Umno-BN system and what they are talking about.
Now Mahathir has been exposed by Wikipedia as the second richest former head of government after deposed Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak whose wealth stands at somewhere between US$40 billion and US$70 billion.
