Criticising your own country is not the trait of a leader,” said Rais Yatim. Well, there are hundreds of videos on YouTube of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad whacking Umno and its leaders. He even calls Malays cheap who can be bought off with a mere RM200. He also says that Umno has been destroyed and calls upon the Umno members to reject its leaders. Any comments from Rais?

Rais: Criticising your own country is not the trait of a leader
(Bernama) - The antics of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) leaders, particularly Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, in criticising their own country abroad do not reflect good leadership qualities, said Information Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim.
"We should look back at history and the world leaders because none of the world leaders had gone out of their country to criticise their own homeland," he told reporters after opening the Simpang Pertang bamboo craft incubator centre, near here today.
He said this when commenting on Anwar's interview by TVOne television station in Indonesia yesterday where he belittled the capability of the country's leadership in resolving disputes and problems between the two neighbouring countries by claiming that if he were to become the prime minister, the problems could have been resolved immediately
Rais, who is the Member of Parliament (MP) for Jelebu, said Anwar as the MP for Permatang Pauh, was earning salary as a Member of Parliament as well as the Opposition Leader.
"As the Opposition Leader, it does not mean that he has the licence to criticise and belittle his own country. He (Anwar) has a responsibility just like Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak is responsible for the country.
"Thus, when he has criticised, to me his marks as a leader have dropped very low," he said.

Dear Rais,
As "burn the UMNO bridge" Minister, you sure talks cock. The UMNO regime Foreign Minister, Anifart Aman also "bad mouthed" political opponent overseas. Wasn't he the one telling bad things about Anwar in Washington when he had that press conference with Hillary Clinton?
Didn't you too wrote your PhD thesis about the ills of ISA in the UK? If that was not criticizing the than UMNO government, than what was it?
Hey Rais, Ayatollah Khomeni criticized the thieving despot Empror Shah Iran Phalavi when he was in exile in Paris. And didn't Dalai Lama too criticized the Chinese government from time to time?
How the fark can someone criticizing his government while overseas can be a traitor? They are patriots, you idiot! It is just our luck to have a dumb UMNO Minister like you running the country.
And hey Rais! I am now criticizing you from overseas. . . , that make me a traitor too, eh?

I suggest that most of us commentators/readers spend some time in reaching out to the mass esp the younger generations via cyberspace, emails, face book,twitters, sms etc etc.
I think we can get together and work something out in getting RPK message of getting more new and old voters for PR for a BETTER Malaysia for ALL Malaysians.across. There are thousands upon thousands of youngsters who are in facebook etc etc and I think we can reach them via emails and other media as RPK said so rightly that the next election will be won thru the media. Reach me \n '> Voter-get-voters@hotmail.com .

"Ketika Umar bin Abdul Aziz menjadi khalifah, ia ditegur oleh anaknya yang masih remaja agar segera mengembalikan harta rakyat yang dirampas secara zalim oleh penguasa terdahulu, padahal itu memang sesuatu yang sudah direncanakan Umar namun akan ia lakukan sesudah zuhur, sedangkan pagi itu ia ingin beristirahat terlebih dahulu. Tapi Umar diingatkan dengan pertanyaan: apa ada jaminan bahwa umurnya sampai di waktu zuhur?. Akhirnya Umarpun tidak jadi berisitirahat, ia segera lakukan upaya mengembalikan harta rakyatnya yang diambil secara zalim."
