HOW TO MUZZLE YOUR CRITICByDr. Mahathir Mohamadon July 30, 2009 3:33 PM | Permalink | Comments (308) | TrackBacks (0)
1. I would like to thank everyone for the comments on the above.
2. Of course I don't like to be criticised. Anyone who says he likes criticism must be a hypocrite.
3. I admit that ever since I became Minister of Education in 1974, through my period as Deputy Prime Minister and then 22 years as Prime Minister I committed a lot of mistakes. I would not be human if I did not.
