Dr. Mahathir bites hard on Rafidah
Saturday, October 15th, 2005 | 5:52 pm @ SK
If International Trade and Industry Minister Rafidah Aziz thinks that her former boss Dr. Mahathir Mohamad may show sympathy over her knee surgery, she has to think twice again.
During a TV interview last night in The Exchange programme on TV3, he denied of approving national car status for the Naza Kia carnival model.
To further supported what he claimed, he went as far as to produce a copy of his July 14 letter to Rafidah in which he had pointed out that Naza had not requested approval for national car status from him and had merely sought his advice on the matter. Quote:
“I replied that I had no objections to advising the company on its plans.”“It was too late then, and I could not walk out.”
Apparently, Dr. Mahathir is not showing any sign of giving up yet, biting hard on Rafidah, at least for the time being.
One thing, while the question of whether Mahathir was played out by Rafidah remains an unspoken truth, Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang said Rafidah owes the Parliament an explanation. Quote:
“Let Rafidah come to Parliament on Monday or Tuesday when Miti’s (Ministry of International Trade and Industry) turn comes up for winding-up,”
Like what Jeff said: It ain’t over till it’s over, that what your ‘father’ was hinting at.

What more can we say? Probably Pak Lah is too blind & deaf,that he thinks Rafidah is still an asset to the nation.
Cheers.

Aha…well, what Pak Lah is doing is right. Better sit and watch than to side and jeopardize his position.
When your daddy plans to disown you, he aint gonna change his mind

Do you think we realy believe her excuses, Chor Win?
I think this would have made Emmy material should it be made a reality show!
Regardless of what happens in the end in all of this hoo-haa, all I want as a rakyat is a more affordable car price, with justified quality of course!

[…] First, it was the International Trade and Industry Minister Rafidah Aziz when Tun Mahathir slammed the Government for its auto import policy, which he has said benefited a select group of well-linked businessman. […]
