Obi-M Defends Anaikin-Mahaleel

Alas... the old (but not out) master has come to defend his "young" padawan.

Dr Mahathir Mohamad has come to fend off criticism against his 10-years old child, Mahaleel Ariff. I wonder just how many times does he think he can continue going to do that before he retire from life, another 2-3 years maybe?

Excerpts from Bernama:

• Proton advisor Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has defended the company's chief executive officer, Tengku Tan Sri Mahaleel Ariff's remarks for allegedly criticising the government's handling of the automotive policy, saying the latter was duty bound to protect the national car manufacturer
• He also said there was no move to remove Tengku Mahaleel as CEO and neither was there any showcause letter to this end
• Dr Mahathir said that in his meeting with Azlan, the latter did not mention anything about Mahaleel's removal

Besides that, Dr Mahathir also took fire at the current AP system where they are handed out to only a few "selected" companies rather than a large number, which according to him, "went against the spirit of nurturing Bumiputra entrepreneurship".

Lastly, he has given us a mathematical or logical equation to support his statement that there is no move to oust Proton CEO. According to him:

He (Mahaleel) has not told me that he has been asked + neither did Azlan tell me has asked (Mahaleel to resign) = Mahaleel has not been asked to leave

Just a question for Mahaleel (who is still in his hide-out God knows where):

What kind of CEO are you that need an old man to come running and save your sorry ass every time you cause a bruhaha in the media instead of concentrating on running the company?
