Stephen Sackur is a cunt. Way to go Mahathir!


From my UMNO brother BigDog:

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad said today that PM ‘Flip-Flop’ Dato’ Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi as “Making a political move, a man very unpopular trying to do something ‘right’. He is making use of the system in the worse way”, when reacting to the suggestion of the Prime Minsiter attempting to “make good against the Judiciary”, which was purportedly damaged during the former’s time.

Talking to Stephen Sackur in a BBC “Hardtalk” first aired this afternoon, who described him as “A personified fellow”. The program was taped in London on Friday, 18 April 2008, was his first interview on air in a foreign media since the 12th Malaysia General Elections on 8 March 2008.

He said “Results of the GE shows former supporters of the ruling party (BN), voted Oppositions, not because they like them!”. When asked for the reason, the stern response was “The Government promised to remove corruption but they themselves are corrupt”. He also explained that PM ‘Flip-Flop’ Abdullah must go now because the next leader needed time to revive the party and the support.

On the New Economic Policy, “It was a system placed by his predecessors. The system worked for 50 years and worked very well. it is to correct the imbalance created since the British days”. Sackur asked about the dissatisfaction from different ethic groups in the country and charged Malaysia, especially in Tun Dr. Mahathir’s time practiced racial biased policies and now no longer relevant nor acceptable. His response was “Malaysia is built for all. Everyone is prosperous. All benefited from the Government policies and progressed. Why only now all these are surfacing?”.

Then Sackur charged if people were to voice out aginst him then, they would be arrested. “Hundreds of people were arrested?”. Tun Dr. Mahathir’s instant response, “Who are they?” and contradicting the host with “The first thing I did as the Prime Minister, was to release many political detainees”. He the added that foreign media is fond of making up these stories and end up propagating them as “the truth”.

In the case of Anwar Ibrahim, when asked to comment about having the support of many and even BN MPs ready to defect, and wanted to make changes in the system, including racially based policies “He is welcomed to do that, when he becomes to the PM” and added “The present leadership should be blamed for losing support of the BN MPs”.

On issues raised by Anwar, which is favourable to the minority groups “Opportunism for him, now. He was in Government before. He did not complain”. Then the issue about his arrest and conviction was trumped up and now proposing that the former regretted on that episode “Why should I regret? He was arrested and locked up for abuse of power. This is accordance to the Malaysian law”. Sackur then added that Anwar wanted to do a full and thorough public inquiry for all Tun Dr. Mahathir’s wrong doings in the 22 years in office, he responded with sarcasm, “Lets see him so a fully impartial inquiry. Probably he can get foreigners”.

When responding to Sackur’s list of Western report of unfair trial for Anwar, Tun Dr. Mahathir asked in return “What are the track record of these countries? The are the sort of people who hold people without trial, like Guantamo Bay”. Then the issue was raised about the Internal Security Act, which was a put in place as Emergency Ordinance by the British. “We did it under the law of the country. We need to prevent people from causing racial riot and disharmony”.

On the move by PM ‘Flip-Flop’ Abdullah making ex-gratia payments to dismissed Lord President Tun Mohamed Salleh Abas and five Supreme Court Judges, “A political move by a man very unpopular, trying to do “something right”. He is making use of the system in worse way!”. What he did not say was, none of the members of the bench attended the Bar Council dinner where PM ‘Flip-Flop’ Abdullah made the announcement.

The debate when on towards democracy. “Democracy is good when the leader is good. It was a leader of a democratic country who dropped atomic bombs”.

Sackur then charged him as being ‘Anti Semitic’ and the instant response was “Anti Semitism is something created by the Jews themselves”. He then related to the earlier issue of democracy “There are journalist who were arrested for talking about the Holocaust. Where is the ‘Freedom of Press’ then?”.

The interview was ended when he was asked, whether he will contunue to attack the Leadership and Government, “Why should I be quiet, when they are doing something wrong to my country?”.

The wide ranging 30 minute program, was a really good interview, indeed.

Well done Tun ! you have given Stephen Sackur a very good lesson, dont belittle Malaysians .The mat salleh always think they are the most cleverest race in the world but today he was caught with his pents down(Miss Teen USA South Carolina and Jade Goody anyone?). How come a Malaysian dare to tell him that the whites are the race that colonized,rob,steal and murdered innocent people and this was said in the capital of THE GREAT "Pete Doherty" BRITAIN.Who dares to say such words non other than TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMMAD,SYABAS TUN !

He gets paid to be a cunt, a devil's advocate and a tough questioner, and the British political scene is a lot better for it.

Why make personal insults?

Actually I found TDM's performance lacking.

cheers

Well, i may agree with some points me,

But talking about British political journalism, try and compare Stephen Sackur to real British journalists like Jeremy Paxman, Richard Quest, Sir Trevor McDonald and Sir David Frost. In my opinion, Mr. Sackur is more Bill O'Reilly and less Edward Murrow.
