Heil leader...

Last year Mukhriz Mahathir came under severe attack from his fellow Umno cadres for saying the party president’s keynote address did not contain "anything new".

Umno Youth was totally pissed of with Mukhriz, an Umno Youth exco member, as they thought his comment belittled Pak Lah, and thus was embarrassing for the movement.

He was called in to be given the dressing down and he then expressed his regret for saying what he said.

Don’t forget at that time his father was in a bitter feud with the party president-cum-premier.

It’s only natural that the party leadership would want to side with their big boss just as Mukhriz did with his dad.

This year, after all the brouhaha of last year, Mukhriz seemed to have learnt his lessons.

When asked to comment as to what he thought of Pak Lah’s speech today, the smart son of Dr M said : "wonderful".

Wonderful? Wonderful?? I thought the speech did not contain ‘anything new’!

But then I can say it out loud as I will not be pressured by my peers to openly apologise or cruelly crucified for saying that.

Did someone just say 'Heil Pak Lah'!
