Tun M always has got his own angle; I think this time around he
wants to allign himself with Iran (but it doesn't necessarily mean
that the Iran leaders care about his involvement). Anyway, Tun M
has got a history of advocating issues involving developing
countries; from the anti-apartheid movement to pro-palestinian
cause. I don't think his rhetorics is helping the country much; he
is overzealous in his causes and that segregates himself from the
mainstream public; his rhetorics will appeal more to the
fundamentalist types. So clearly, you and I are not his targeted
audience; this kind of backlash is quite predictable and I don't
think we should be giving it this much attention.
Whenever Tun M starts his noises again, the beatles song 'let it
be' comes to mind.
