Corruption as defined by Mahathir


YOURSAY 'Is there no limit to this man's hypocrisy? Only now has it been divinely revealed to him that cash handouts are ‘close' to vote buying?'

Cash handouts 'close to' vote buying, says Dr M


your sayLittleGiant: Cash handout is not akin to vote-buying. It is a blatant vote-buying exercise. It is corruption.

And also, former PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad's statement that "too much democracy would hamper economic growth" is rubbish and only reflects his narrow-minded thinking of democracy and economy.

Democracy plays a pivotal role in a country's economy. No doubt about that. But it is not less or more democracy or having an authoritarian government that will determine its economic growth. It is corruption and corrupt politicians that will have a huge bearing on the country's economy.

The wealth that these politicians loot from their countries will be the biggest obstacle to its economic growth.

An economically powerful regime with a stifled democracy is nothing but just a big sand castle built on the shores of the ocean - nice to look at but sure to collapse. It will not survive the tests of time and nature.

Starr: "Maybe it is not vote-buying... but it is very close to that," says Mahathir.

This is moral corruption, and 10 times worse than vote-buying. Corruption is corruption, vote-buying is vote-buying by whatever name it's given. For Mahathir to justify in that manner is to condone it, and that's the problem.

The moral fabric of the Malaysian society has been damaged beyond recognition by the unprincipled leadership of the country. It's no coincidence that the country has been on a downward slop for decades in almost every facet of our society.

Perhaps in his dotage he has forgotten that this was business as usual for Umno for the last 50 years and especially during his 22-year reign.

And in the process, he created a favoured class of cronies and reduced an entire community to be bereft of resilience, dignity, and pride.
