I was shocked when i heard in the news on my way back in the bus (Finally the TV MOBILE in the SBS bus does something beneficial) that Dr Mahathir Mohamed has stepped down from UMNO. I was in utter disbelief as i saw the news being said over and over again. (Interestingly Karim Raslan was being interviewed as guest analyst for Channel News Asia; what was he doing in Singapore in the first place?)
My mind kept pondering as to why Dr M has done such a move. Is it one of following his emotions again; that he is simply too upset at the predicaments that’s being faced by his party? I remembered the incident when he shocked the party during the assembly when he announced his decision to retire. It was one that was filled with tears and staunch allies asked why deciding on such a matter.
