We know his line of heritage and I am not surprised of him using the 2gentlemen as a comparison. With only one obvious common features they shared, it looked like he is a lost man, glorying them instead of the fathers of Malaysia, people who sturggled, fought and lived together to bring merdeka to this country.
I just hope he dont bring up more new examples like Rambo in his next remarks.

Nelson Mandela is likely to be insulted, and Mahatma Gandhi would have turned over in his grave. This guy has no shame whatsoever, claiming to be all that was noble.

Both Mandela and Gandhi were victims of high-handedness, Zambry was just the opposite, with the help of police, dragging poor Sivakumar out of the State Assembly.

Patience? Could not wait for vote of no confidence, nor 4 days for the High Court decision on who is rightful MB, then the super-quick stay of execution! What about the auction of state exco vehicles, even before this mess is anywhere near settled?

I better stop before rude words start flying.

Mandela!

As pointed out by MM via MarinaM:

Winnie Mandela who was also the manager of her infamous football club.

Even Dr Mahathir CANNOT be compared to Mandela who sufferred some 27 years in jail and asked of the black South Africans to forgave their apartheid tormentors;

or

to Mahatma Ghandhi, one of India's greatest ICON and the world's greatest non-violence advocate.

Perhaps, Malaysian leaders are often compared to persons like Mugabe, other world racist leaders and such like persons.

Our ex-Chief Justices and ex-IGP are compared to the worlds' worst examples.

That is why there is a heaven and there is hell. We all know the great sages, Gandhi-ji and Nelson Mendela will look down fm the heavens with greatest empathy at this ignorant mamak while he gets burnt.

I think he's so much more like Bush and Cheney... hehehe, one read a book upside-down and the other shot his good friend on a hunting trip!! hahaha!!!!

Sivakumar on the other hand has got some traits of the great Mahatma - standing firm, not fighting back and yet defying the cruel hig-handedness of the suppressors. Bravo!

I can see that the so called leaders from the government of the day are a lot of half-wits, with the statements they made. This really shows that actually we have quite a bunch of goons running this country. In Singapore, they pick the best brains to help run their country knowing that if they don't, Singapore citizens will suffer. This we call being responsible. In this country, they pick the best connected people, with brains or brainless. How to move forward when they don't give a hoot about the citizens.

Aiya..U guys don't understand kah? he is talking like a UMNO Malay supremist! Those two great man saved their country from clutches of the whites! He is imagining Perak is governed by pendatang lah...so he is saving the Malays from non Malay government. U know UMNO sees PR as a non Malay dominated party..Non Malays are Pendatang..I wonder what makes Zamri not a pendatang? we all know lah......

Maybe if we ISA him for 20 years then he'll have something in common with Mandela.

Politics is about the acquisition and application of power.

When one is obsessed with acquiring power by hook or by crook, he or she is like someone intoxicated by a potent psychiatric drug. In that sense, power corrupts.

The Cantonese have a colorful expression for this condition...."jou for yap mor" which literally means "runaway fire in your head and heart"

Can somebody check what thesis he did for his doctoral degree?

I SUSPECT (not allege) that he plagiarized other theses and claimed that those theses were his.

Megalomaniac has a unhealthy confidence - absolute believe although unrealistic.

These guys are NOT absolutely confident - otherwise they won't grin - grinning shows they know its no sure thing.

Its delusional, irresponsible, spoilt prodigal delusion.

This fake MB of Perak got the nerve to say that investors do not have to worry about the investment in the state.Who would want to invest in the sorry state when an imposter is running it illegally.No wonder the silver state is plunging into a sorry state.

Tony Pua asked: Gandhi, Mandela or Megalomaniac?

Answer: Is this a trick question? All can see clearly from here that it is the illegitimate Perak non-entity MB scoundrel Zambry.

WE SAY YEAH! & NO TO ISA! AND HARIS FOR AG & RPK FOR IGP! GO FOR DSAI FOR PM & LKS FOR DPM & KIND WAN AZIZAH FOR HOME MINISTER.

2009 Resolution: Seek out all garbage and recycle or dispose post haste for a healthier life and planet!
