when i read "ayahanda" tun mahathir's blog, i'm amazed at the amount of supporters he has. kelakar je tengok orang literally 'kowtow'ing to him, and holding on to his every word and wanting him back as the PM.
judging from the 600 comments, he has quite a large fan-base. watever he says or writes, people will agree with and accept 100%.
a few years ago when i really hated him for all the corruption that he was responsible for, i never would have thought that he'd have a blog one day and be writing like this.
the future holds many possibilities. you just never know what may happen.
i must admit that some of his writings may ring true and his vast experience in politics should be documented, but i disagree with some of his backlashing and political views.
at the end of the day, i guess everyone will give their unwavering support to someone they trust no matter who they are. it could be an ustaz or politician or mufti. it could be one's own parent.
sometimes we do it unknowingly. we tend to be partial to some people and hold them very high and holy in our sight that they can do no wrong. this is called obsession. if that person is truly good then it would be okay. but what if we misjudge a person who we think is good but is not actually.
since no one other than the Prophet s.a.w is ma'sum or protected from mistakes, i guess we should be careful with who we follow because at the end of the day, the prophet mentioned that everyone will be gathered with people that they use to idolize. (i'll put up the hadith later inshaALLAH).
the mazahib imams used to worry about this and remind their followers that they should always refer to the Quran and sunnah before their own opinon which is not free from flaws.

ahah, this reminds me the day when we argued ab tun M. time tu awak mcm tak suker gile.. well..., future change and so do ppl.... =P
i read his writings but that doesnt mean that i have to like him :)
o ye, macam kt baca utusan tp x bermakna kt suke kerajaan ye.. camtuh?? hehehehe ;)
ey watch it, my housemate is one of those kow-towing to tun's writings. :-D
hmm i agree with you. sometimes kan... this kow-towing is abnormal. sangat idolise org2 tertentu until he/she can do no wrong. patutnya kalau ye pun sokong, kalau silap tu tegurlah, kan. agaknya kalau dia kata taik tu suci pun orang setuju jugak.
yep kene berpada2 sokong orang takut kite tersilap support.
