With his comments increasingly ‘censored’ in the pro-government mainstream media, former premier Mahathir Mohamad has now resorted to air his hard-hitting arguments in cyberspace.
"I must publicise the facts in this manner because not many of my statements are being published by the mass media, although they send representatives to attend my press conferences."
Mahathir in his seven-page letter published in a pro-Umno website called Kelab Maya Umno, reiterated that the government had failed to defend the nation’s sovereignty.
It is believed that the letter has also been sent to all members of parliament as well as Umno leaders.
My view is that, it won’t be long before we welcome Tun Mahathir as part of our blogging community, to provide more insights, in which the Government finds it hard to accept, at times.

What we are witnessing now is TDM trying very hard to establish the truth in the run up to the many negotiations with . He is stating his facts, and you believe facts to be true? Therefore, it becomes an absolute, and that moves it into an expression of a truth, his truth.
What is the conflict in identifying truths as absolutes? In that rigidness of the absoluteness there is no expression of acceptance, and as you recognize that truths within our physical reality are not actually truths, they are beliefs. This is not to say that they are not real — they are quite real — but they are not absolutes. They are not truths.
You associate them as truths and therefore you generate a perception of absolutes, and in that perception of absolutes, there is NO allowance for difference.
Therefore, when TDM spoke for his truth, the conflict is when other people speak of their truth, that we want their truth to be our truth or vice versa.
There is no absolute, everyone speaks from his or her own truth. The point is you speak from your own beliefs, your own expressed beliefs. There are truths and there is the definition of a truth. A truth is some expression, which is translatable in every area of consciousness in some manner.
I am just an ordinary citizen. My hope is, whatever the politicans up there are playing (all parties included), please remember the ordinary folks down here whose living and well-being are tied closely to the addictive power-play your egos are getting a high on. Whoever hold the administrative reign, it will always be the same story for us. And for the so-called heroes of the people, you are still a politician too, power is something you need on daily basis, you are singing your own song, not ours. Truth? And what is truth in a game where everyone believe that their truth is the ultimate truth? Dont lose your humanity in playing this game, just be true to your inner self. If you listen closely to your heart, you’ll know what that truth is.Don’t let power blind your judgements. Don’t let ego shut your mind. There’s no such things as a good government or a bad government. But we have plenty of good and bad men around. You don’t have to act clever or be a superhero, just be honest to yourself and to us the people you are act, the ordinary citizens. According to a Malay saying "Gajah sama gajah berlawan kancil di tengah-tengah mati." We don’t want to be that poor kancil.
