Dr M: Truth a bitter pill to swallow

PETALING JAYA: Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is unconcerned about possible lawsuits over his memoirs.

Dr Mahathir said he was driven to tell the truth in his autobiography A Doctor in the House.

“There will be those who will not be satisfied.

“If they want to sue, sue lah,” he quipped after launching the book at Mid Valley Megamall yesterday.

Dr Mahathir said he had kept its publication a secret until the launch date to avoid a possible court injunction to stop its release.

“I want people to read it. Whatever they think of it is their prerogative,” he said.

It took him eight years to write the autobiography, he said. “I did not type. I used long hand.”

Dr Mahathir said during his tenure as Prime Minister, he was described as a dictator.

“(In the autobiography) I tried to prove that I am not. But some people will still feel otherwise,” he said.

To a question, Dr Mahathir said that through his biography, he wanted to deliver the message that it was not impossible to achieve anything when one is willing to learn.

“I was a commoner, I was not trained in the field of administration, economics or finance. But you can learn if you want to learn. The best reward is not monetary gains but the results of your effort,” he said.

Dr Mahathir also took a swipe at Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim whom he accused had claimed credit for certain things.

“He (Anwar) is claiming that the setting up of UIA (International Islamic University Malaysia) was his idea,” he said.

On his next project, Dr Mahathir said he would look into rewriting The Malay Dilemma.

“When they (the Malays) were poor they were in a dilemma. When they are rich, there is a bigger dilemma,” he said.

Three men against 15 lions

Three men against 15 lions.

This is a dangerous way to get food. You are not a good hunters but if you are skillful, you can scare away the lions and steal their food. Just like people work hard to get money, but these guys refused to work hard and they just steal your money because they seen you have made it or have the money.

Just like in the stock market, if you are skillful, you can spot the turn of the market and jump in and buy before other people feel safe to come in. By the time other people realize the market has rebound and come in, the skillful people can dispose off their stock and make some money.

If you are brave enough and make your move together, three men can scare away 15 lions. Amazing.

The Adjustment Bureau--by Matt Damon and Emily Blunt

Ever Feel That The World Is Totally Against You? - The Story Of The Adjustment Bureau

David Norris (Matt Damon) is a politician on the rise, but he can’t curb his bad-boy ways and after a childish prank is made public he finds himself losing the ‘unloseable’ election. However, the night doesn’t go to complete ruin when he happens upon a chance meeting with a young dancer, Elise (Emily Blunt) in a toilet. It is love at first sight, but their relationship is doomed.

A group known as ‘The Adjustment Bureau, consisting of people like Harry (Anthony Mackie – Night Catches Us, Louis), Thompson (Terence Stamp – Ultramarines: A Warhammer 40,000 Movie, TV’S Smallville) and Richardson (John Slattery – TV’S 30 Rock & Mad Men), decide to do everything in their power to prevent David and Elise getting together because it isn’t in The Plan. However, David is determined to take on this group despite the consequences.

Blogger:It seems to carry a simple message that there may be a plan for you and you are supposed to act according to the plan. That is what astrology is all about. Every major thing in your life could be predicted.

I remember one classic story told by the Chinese scholar that liao Fan's father died when he was very young. His mother persuaded him to give up his ambitious to study to become a minister and instead he studied medicine. Later, a fortune teller told him that if he continued to study, he could pass the exam after exam and become a minister. He studied and studied and he passed and he becomes a minister. He is not supposed to live that long but because he has done many good deeds, his life extended.

The Adjustment Bureau's story is identical in the sense that they try to block Matt Damon from seeing Emily Blunt, eventually, he fought for it and they changed the plan for him and he could have Emily.

In life, if you wanted it bad enough, you will get it. Many years ago, I had wanted to secure a degree so badly and finally I gave up my job and went to the US to study for my degree and I got it.

I studied qi men dun jia, a theory formulated by a Chinese angel. That theory said that if you open the right door and you will get what you want. I see Matt Damon keeps opening the door just like what I have done every day, trying to open the right door daily and trying to achieve what I want.

I see astrology and I see qi men dun jia, the science of x-file and what did you see?
