If you ever kick out BN and PN again from Putrajaya in GE15 or earlier, don't compare your incoming politicians with BN and PN. That's no standard at all. Compare your politicians to the standards of New Zealand or Japan or if those two are too far, compare with PAP Singapore.
Comparing with BN and PN is really low bar. That's how you tolerated Guan Eng mixing with shady figures that has now resulted in a corruption charge eventhough the bribe amount alleged is too little compared to BN Standards of a similar size project.
If you compare with BN and PN standards, Mahathirists will be cool with his mixing with his favourite tycoons and receipt of gifts from them. Anwarists will be cool with him accepting private jet trips sponsored by his favourite tycoon.
We need a paradigm shift. Now is the time even when we have the choice to work with only old politicians.

Most of the time, the Investigators and Prosecutors don't look at the total loss suffered by taxpayers as a result of bribery. Same thing happened in Ku Nan's case. For a cheap bribe of RM2 million, more than RM200 million loss in revenue to DBKL
When you don't tell the consequences of bribery, the society take these matters lightly and accept it as part of way of life in Malaysia. In Ku Nan's case, the bribe he took has costed KL residents 100 times more losses. This is the price of bribery!
Because he took bribe, the land that was supposed to have been set aside for affordable homing is now being sold as luxury condos. Check out Aset Kayamas website on their projects in Bandar Tun Razak.
Read the case of Tengku Adnan bin Tengku Mansor. He is guilty as f**k. How two people can arrive at a completely different outcome is going to puzzle all the future law students.
2. Tengku Adnan was the Minister for the Federal Territories when he received the bribe of RM2 million. He was the Minister since 2013. He was brought down in 2018, when BN was outed by the People of Malaysia.
3. He had a company called Tadmansori which was incorporated in 1987. It's paid-up capital of RM100,000,000.00, with Ku Nan owning RM99,999,996.00 and the balance of RM4.00 by his brother Dato’ DL Tengku Rethwan bin Tengku Mansor.
Conspiracy theory aside, why does he allows opportunity for people to accuse him of such? Why he did not sue him until today? If this kind of things hold him from launching a frontal attack against KerajaanGagal and former Kleptocrats, he should pass the baton to others in PKR.
In developed countries, even the Opposition leaders resign and go if they can't win elections. Malaysia with its gerrymandering is not apple to apple but there must be a limit as to how many times one could fail and yet retain Opposition Chief Post.
Either he drives the Opposition to this Government from the front or allow someone fron his party to take charge and go full blown attack. Another problem is, no one stepping up with Rafizi firing mainly his own side instead of opponents.
The Enigma of 8 decades. The Malaysian Maverick, Tun Mahathir Mohamed.
He is a teetotaler, not a womaniser, no scandal with men and the work never stopped for him.
The Man who was born to fight British elitism, Malay Upperclass Elitism and inequality in wealth between races in Malaysia ended up being a family of elite himself. #TheMalaysianMaverick
