1. I have a problem. I cannot remember the date I was married. As a result I always get into trouble with my wife.
2. She has a remarkable memory for dates, not just her own or our special dates but she can remember the dates of birth of all her children, the dates of their marriage, the birthdays of all 17 of my grandchildren and even of her sisters and brothers and late parents.
3. So I can rely on her and sign the birthday cards she passed on to me. Unfortunately she cannot remember much of what she read when studying medicine. So I used to coach her. Thus we complement each other.

4. God has endowed Man (and Woman) with the ability to remember. That is the basic difference between us and the animals.
5. But with age our memory fails on details. Some brilliant people can remember what they did on a particular day 10 - 15 years ago, remember every detail, including the words they had spoken and the people they met etc. I am not among these people. I remember some events in which I was involved but only vaguely.
6. If you ask me what did I do on 12th August 1982, or on any other day, I would not be able to tell you. Other people with the proverbial photographic memory can, but I cannot. I am quite certain if I ask the questioner what he did on any particular day in the times long past he probably cannot tell me either. But then in a court or Commission he or the judge or Commissioners have the right to question, I had only the right to answer.
7. This is very unsatisfactory. In a court of law, if you fail to remember every detail of what you did on a particular day 5, 10 or 15 years ago, then you must be lying, you must be hiding something. This possibility would be ominous - though it may not be ascertained with exactitude. But why bother about those niceties. Just conclude that a person who cannot remember is simply lying.
8. I am going to take a memory course. Should I have occasion to be investigated or summoned to face a trial, I would be able to remember the suit I wore any day in my life and where I was when wearing the particular suit on a particular day.
9. By the same token a person who had been sodomised must know the exact time of the day that it happened, the colour of the room and the size of the bed. If he fails to remember any of these things, then he must be lying.
10. Such is the law. So please try to memorise everything you do every day. Don't forget the details. It can be fatal for you.

Then again, some people choose to have selective amnesia...
i just didn't get it!
dearest tun,
iam not sure your memory is that bad but iam sure your memory is very much better than me and many others. I remember reading one of your acticles that you love to read and can complete reading a book within a day. This is someting special.
when talking about court matters, judges should understand that we are human (whom include judges) and have limitations and cannot remember exactly what we have done in the past. I cannot remember what cloth iam wearing the same day last week!
selamat beristirehat dan berpuasa enam, tun

Selamat Hari Raya Tun

Just would like to wish you and your wife a Selamat Hari Raya.
I'll be looking forward your open house and be able to finally salam tangan ayahanda Tun..
salam tun & semua bloggers..
haha..i'm face the same problem too..although i'm so much younger than you..kadang2 susah sgt nak ingat details tertentu yang perlu saya ingat..but i think, there must be some ways that can help our memory stronger..hope i will find out the ways someday..mana la tau tiba2 kena masuk court plak kan...hehe..
Selamat Aidilfitri untuk Tun sekeluarga...
What Tun is saying in this 'multi-prong message' might be funny to many but the reality is that Anwar Abraham a.k.a The Drama King and his bunch of liars ... opps! lawyers are manipulating the laws of this land.
They have been very consistent in ridiculing the law with their crooked mind, where the end result would do justice to none.
Anwar Abraham's initial sodomy conviction was overturned due to such 'crooked reasons' termed technicalities.
The court re-affirmed loud and clear that he is infact a sodomite but that FACT has been tactfully swept under the carpet.
These soul-less group of power hungry creatures would not stop at anything until they could install the sodomite into high office.
We, Malaysians, must open our eyes wide to Anwar Abraham's drama and not be fooled by his antics.
He has proven 'beyond resonable doubt' (to borrow the bunch of liars often used term)that he is a first-class LIAR who managed to fool many Malaysians who thought Anwar was their God-sent saviour.
If Anwar had achieved anything post-Sept 16, it is the tittle as the Number One Liar of Malaysia.
For those of you who continue to trust that human being, May God Bless You and have mercy on your next-of-kin.
amin.
p/s Tun, don't worry about Anwar's spin to make u look like a liar for not being able to remember details of certain things which took place more than 20 years ago. (I suspect even FLIP-FLOP and the SIL are also contributing towards such attempts)
We know what matters, and WHAT doesn't to this country.
Selamat Hari Raya, Sir.
What are you trying to say here Tun? Macam ada something on je lepas raya ni, which will involve you?
Court manusia ni mana sama macam court Allah. Disini kita kena buktikan apa yg terjadi. Di muka keadilan Allah, semua akan dipamerkan, anggota badan kita yg menjadi saksi. Mungkin org yg bersalah dpt bebas dgn kesalahan yg dia buat di dunia. Tapi di akhirat nanti, ceritanya lain la pulak.
Apa apa pun, tak pernah terjadi dlm sejarah Malaysia, open house org kenamaan dicemari dgn rusuhan. Yes, I'm talking about Hindraf making sort of trouble at Pak Lah's open house at PWTC. Itu lah harganya klu semua nak diberi muka. Semua atas alasan demokrasi. Sampai nak berdemonstrasi pun dah tak kena tempat. Main pakai undang2 hutan je. Pak Lah ni lembek sangat. Pasal tu la semua nak pijak kepala. Cuba klu awal2 lagi dicantas kepala2 pembuat kacau tu. Kan senang. Ini bila dah menyusahkan org, baru nak buat sesuatu. Pak Lah, Pak Lah, cepat la kasi baton tu pada org lain. Jgn nanti hari2 asyik gaduh je di Malaysia ni, semua org tak boleh cari makan.
Dearest Dr M
Even the lawyers themselves refer to documents to refresh their memory. No one is expected to remember exact details of what happened everyday of their lives.
If your brain space is taken up with facts and figures, the space for analysis and processing will be ADVERSELY affected. Scientists are usually forgetful people.
My laptop will RUN at snail space if the C:drive's used space is near full capacity. Some programs cannot function efficiently.
Bottomline is - THEY have an agenda. Nothing to do with a person's ability to remember details to prove one's innocence.
For lawyers, technicalities is the name of the game.
selamat hari raya DR M..
Viva Tun Berdua,
Hari ini saya rasa sungguh gembira kerana nasihat Tun yang sangat berguna. Saya sentiasa menghadapi masaalah dengan mengingati haribulan dan tempat dan event. Isteri saya sangat memahami kelemahan saya, jadi dengan sukarelanya dia akan mengingatkan saya tarikh yang berwajib secara seloroh atau jika saya pura-pura tak faham, secara tarik muka... dan dan saya teringat.
Saya juga berjanji akan menuruti nasihat Tun supaya sentiasa mengingati details of event terutamanya yang melibatkan sa .ya bermesyuarat didalam mana mana bilik diresort atau hotel. Just in case.
Tapi Tun, kalau saya kena sodomi, mungkin muka saya tersembam ke bantal atau tilam, jadi mungkin tak banyak yang saya boleh ingat. Hmm...mungkin teknologi boleh membantu saya.
Dirgahayu Tun dan Tun.
Nobody's perfect. As we age, we lose bits, if not lots, of our memories, period.
selamat hari raya DR M..
Salam Tun,
Itu lumrah kita manusia biasa. Tak lari dari sifat pelupa.
Cuma yang selalu kita kena tetapkan adalah pendirian.
Salam Eid Mubarak.
Wish you and the family all the best.

Assalamualaikum WB YBhg Tun,
Being Malays, it is much harder for us to remember things. As you put it, "Melayu mudah lupa..."
Selamat hari raya aidilfitri, maaf zahir batin.
thank you for the sarcasm ^^. people get so lost in the details that they miss the whole picture.
Dearest TDM,
It will be nice if we can remember everything. But as a human being, we can't remember everything.
Anyway, wish you and your family Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, maaf zahir & batin.
Semoga Tun akan terus berjuang, dan kami akan sentiasa bersama Tun.
Salam Aidilfitri,
Riduan
salam Tun,
terasa sedih membaca posting Tun kali ini. Semoga Allah melindungi Tun dan keluarga dari fitnah manusia.
Salam aidilfitri
Salam Ayahanda Tun,
"1. I have a problem. I cannot remember the date I was married. As a result I always get into trouble with my wife."
Sir it is indeed our utmosts privilege to have you join our guild. I am motivated to email you our updated application form ASAP. Membership is free for life.
With kind regards and Selamat Hari Raya, Kamal.
Semasa Tun berkuasa ramai yang menjulang Tun demi sesuatu...
Yang tidak mendapat sesuatu sibuk menjaja nama Tun sebagai MAHA ZALIM.
Dan bila Tun bersara ramai tidak mempedulikan Tun, malah ada yang bertukar tindakan menjadi musuh Tun.
Dan setelah 4 tahun Pak Lah berkuasa, ramai pula yang nampak kebaikan semasa Tun jadi PM.
MEMANG BENAR KATA-KATA TUN : MELAYU MUDAH LUPA
Selamat Hari Raya Tun and family.
For a person your age, your memory is actually remarkable.
This is my first write up, way off topic but wanting to be the first to respond, I sent in anyway. Ive been following your comments for some time and it seems that the more I read your comments, the more I come to admire and respect your brilliance and insightful thoughts. It certainly helps me understand issues better and deepens my scant political knowledge and I also appreciate the countless deeds you have done for this country. I realize that to become a PM one must certainly be highly credible plus possesses host of other distinguished traits which you have, but alas our current PM apparently doesn’t seem to have any. Sad but true. Our PM is a good person I believe, maybe a pious one too but mere good person is hardly inadequate to become PM. A good person can be a good leader of a family but certainly not to lead a country.
Like most, my support for the ruling government has deteriorated tremendously over the past five year, mainly due to many many factors. Tops is AAB indecisiveness, flip-flop decisions or worse no decisions. When big crucial matter arises why is it always his subordinates giving comments instead of himself taking charge. Where is he and What is he doing? Selalu cakap saya ada banyak kerja nak buat and so on but people see nothing come out of it. Now whenever he speaks, I just mute the sound because I don’t feel he has any substance to tell.
The Anwar factor: Never underestimate this “master of spin” factor. He still captures hearts of many with his robust and sublime oratory flair and he uses his repertoire skills much to his advantage. Emulating campaigning model to that of Obama’s US presidential campaign, DSAI crave to believe that he is comparable to charismatic Obama and I am just saddened that many are duped by his blank rhetorics and manipulations. Being a traditionalist, I am still clinging on to my late father’s words: “Orang yang pandai cakap selalunya tak pandai buat kerja”. While Obama may be on his way to the White House, I hope and pray that DSAI is a Permatang Pauh MP and stays just that. Period.
I also have apprehension of Najib as PM not because of his incapacity as a leader but more of the unpleasant rumors hallowing above his head. Rumours of his involvement in Altantuyas murder case are ubiquitous, and Najib somewhat did his denial part but his efforts seem too feeble and unconvincing. This lead the public to believe that the rumors are true. There is also widespread stories his “takut bini” and about his fiery wife actions and behavior akin to Yoko Ono's lady control over late Beatles’ John Lennon. I fear this rumors will persist and haunt his premiership and further dent UMNO and BNs image.
There are people suggesting that you should become a senior minister very much like Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore but I totally disagree to this idea because people will promptly suggest the PM whoever he is, is inept and incompetent, and his moves are dictated by you as the puppet master. Be wary Tun and not to be easily enticed by power.
Tun, you certainly will go down in Malaysia’s history as the best PM and I wonder when there will be a PM like you to lead the country. When the legendary P Ramlee died some 30 years plus ago, we’re still longing for his replacement, “Dimanakan ku cari ganti”.
And as for the worst PM, I think the answer is self-evident. Pak Lah, Please, please, pleaselah Pak Lah, the rakyat has spoken. It’s a real pity and out of anger and frustrations, far too many nasty words have been thrown out to Pak Lah and for Tun and readers sake I would’nt cite examples here but in short, people are just fed up and sick to the bone of our current PM. To layman like me it is clear that AAB must go ASAP, and if he still has some dignity in him, he will retire honorably the sooner the better for the survival of this country.
Tun, I wish you all the best and do keep on writing if you still have the will. Selamat Hari Raya and my best regards to you and your family and most of all, take care Tun.
I am missing you already.
Heck I'm only 24 years of age and I can't remember where I placed my phone... now where is it?
You are right Tun, most people cant remember in detail. As i was about to remind you to read a reply on your blog, i forgot the date that person wrote and now i have to go back and search again. Right SEPTEMBER 15TH 2.31PM please read and tell us if this is true and sinful ( dosa )for the lecturer to do so !
Dont forget to read ! September 15th 2.31pm reply to yuor blog by UiTM
'so please try to memorise everything you do every day. Don't forget the details. It can be fatal for you.'
well said Tun.

Dear TUN,
as a student from the controversial UiTM, i felt really sad of our current racial situation. I as person am against racial sentiments, but from what i see here in UiTM, even the lecturers inject us with racial hatred by implicating the post-graduation problem of employment as we are all malays and that it's hard to compete in the corporate world that is dominated by the chinese. If those lecturers intentions are to motivate us to ensure competitiveness, but most of them failed as they only make the malays here harbor hate towards other races.
I can't imagine 13th may happening all over again as i do have chinese and indian friends and i appreciate being friends with them as i have been bored of the malays stereotyped character: pessimistic and envious of others while they have done nothing to earn what others have.
Please Tun, most of the people i know do dream of the Malaysian Malaysia. And we know you can make it happen. You're always able to pull of such miracle like the 1997 economic crisis. Perhaps you would pursue in becoming 'Bapa Keharmonian'.
To all people, let's just stop generalising and learn to appreciate this country. For ourselves, and for Tun!
Read for yourself the following which i download from one of the reply from sept 15th 2.03 pm reply to tun's blog. Hope someone can lodge a report and lets investigate this and save them from commiting DOSA works ! it's sinful to do that ! No wonder unity is so hard to achieve ! if they found guilty, charge them under ISA to those so call lecturer ! Hisham, take action ! Please read and scare your heart out !

Assalamuakum Tun,
Selamat Hari Raya.
Actually you very sharp and of course 'people' can't remember everything what has he done for over 10/15 years back..but not only that period; 1 or two day also people can'remember.
For sure Tun, this article ramai orang akan terasa cili.
Congratulations Tun, you are the the Greatest Leader.
Selamat Hari Raya Tun, tried to sms the wish on the raya dedication, but to bad as Im using the pakistan number here in Mipur, the msg did not go through.
It's always interesting the way u look at things Tun. Even the law sometimes turns like a practical joke when we relate it in our lifes.
The political situation there back home still turn my stomach. Been praying things will get better in times.
It's been an honoured to have u around with all your blog. I really appreciated it.
Please take care of health Tun. The thought of loosing you scares me. We still need u Tun.

Tun,
Then,why not write your biography before they are completely erased from your memory?
You look healthy,albeit your cardio problem but that shouldn't affect your brain,it cannot be that you cannot remember all at the Lingam inquiry.Many have speculated that you had "played acting" at the Inquiry.I won't want to ask for an answer.
If one is going to face it the second time round,I am sure certain precautionary measures would have taken,unless one is that stupid,so that it beats the threshold of the law by making it difficult for the DPP to prove a prima facie case.My reading is that it would be thrown out before defence.
Let us know of your thoughts about the memory course after you attended it.
If it is good and the cost is reasonable,it's good idea to attend and perhaps a government ministry should sponsor so that many senior citizens may benefit from it.
Salam Sejahtera buat Tun Dr Mahathir, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah serta keluarga....
Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri & Maaf Zahir & Batin. Semoga keluarga Tun berdua riang dan girang semasa sambutan Syawal tahun ini.
Tun, "Melayu Mudah Terlupa" seperti yang pernah Tun nyatakan suatu masa dahulu......
Selamat hari raya adidil fitri to Tun Dr Mahathir and family,
Am i the first? If yes, it will be the day i'll remember.
Maaf zahir dan batin.
asalamualaikum ayahanda dan bonda...
selamat hari raya..moga sihat sejahtera hendaknya..
saya ingin berkongsi perasaan dengan ayahanda..pada satu syawal saya amat terkejut dengan berita mengenai kumpulan hindraf yang menyerbu rumah terbuka hari raya di pwtc...
mungkin saya tidak tahu banyak mengenai politik, tetapi saya merasakan ini merupakan tindakan yang amat memalukan pekembar, melayu dan agama Islam terutamanya...
jadi di bulan syawal nie saya menyeru agar ayahanda dapat menulis serba sedikit mengenai hindraf secara lebih jelas berkenaan pandangan ayahanda...serta tindakan yang ayahanda rasa perlu untuk mengatasi masalah nie..
mungkin permintaan saya agak besar kerana meminta ayanda untuk berfikir lagi mengenai masalah negara, tetapi saya rase ini perlu kerana saya melihat kepimpinan pekembar yang amat lemah sekarang serta situasi politik yang amat tidak boleh dijangka...
selepas saya melihat berita tersebut, saya ingin mendapatkan maklumat mengenai kejadian tersebut, tetepi hari ini tiada berita mengenai kejadian tersebut di kaca televisyen..
saya merasa sedih kerana jika kejadian tersebut dipandang remeh maka ia boleh menjadi luka yang akan meletup..
moga ayahanda dapat pertimbangkan permintaan ini untuk tatapan semua pembaca lawan ayahanda....
sekali lagi ku pohon maaf dari ayahanda dan bonda di hari raya nie..harap ayanda sentiasa dikurniakan ingatan yang kuat oleh Allah..moga sihat selalu...
salam aidilfitri dari,

Hi Tun,
Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to you and Tun Siti Hasmah. I'm surprised that you have time to blog. No visitors to entertain? I must say that after reading the posting above, you are hinting or trying to refer to someone, aren't you? That's the classic Tun Mahathir. I like it though.
Anyway, may you have the health to stay for years to come so that everyone who appreciates you can give you their blessings. Have a good day ahead sir!
Salam Tun....lucky me I guess for being the first to comment on this article. First and foremost..Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir Batin.
Sometimes when we makan at any restaurant and it was time to pay we couldn't remember what we just ate...at least for a few seconds..or at least one dish..especially when we get older.....
but the again it would be so simple as to keep on blaming the failure of our faculty when we are actually hiding something....don't you think???
I totally agree with you Tun. I still remember someone to me that Melayu Mudah Lupa...but even the chinese & indian also mudah lupa on how they started here in Tanah Melayu...
Dear Tun,
Through out my 28 years of living on this world, I have learned one thing very important, and that is we as human being, we memorize with our brain but we keep and cherish something with our heart. So if you want to memorize something for a very long time, don't memorize it with your brain but with your heart.
I can remember oNE DATe very clearly...Sep 16 2008....Nothing significant happened...
Selamat Hari Raya, Tun.
Salam Tun & fellow bloggers,
1.I failed to grasp your intention of bringing up the issue of memory power,unless you got BIG trouble with authority or something
2.In the court of law,you only run into trouble when you got 'selective amnesia' against evidence,affidavit,statutory declaration
3.Keeping a diary can do wonders.In the modern day we have umpteen type of gadget such as PDA,camera phone,ipod to help upkeep and organize teenie-weenie details
4.Since all computers are equipped with webcam, logging on to Facebook,Blogging,You Tube,Myspace could serve the purpose
5.With these kind of modern gadgets,who need to learn memory power?
Wassalam
Tun,
If humans can have good memory, the wouldn't have forgotten all that you have done for the country and your once allies. Does the name Badawi, Nazri, Semi, ring the bell? Its not only Melayu Mudah Lupa, but Mereka Mudah Lupa would suit better. Gd day sir!
salam
selamat hari raya...mgkin tun bole cuba amalkan surah ar-rahman utk kuatkan ingatan...
Thats not true at all, admirable ex-PM of mine.
I am a law student myself, so I know enough of the law to say that that is not the law, that is not what the law intends to achieve in terms of evidence.
It is enough that you remember enough to go beyond reasonable doubt, there was never an intent on the framers of criminal law in any given jurisdiction to bother with the nitty gritty. I understand fully you predicament in how those 2 judges of the Federal Court have decided in the Anwar case last, and I share it. Those judges should never have given affect to law of criminal evidence the way they did, and they have pretty much screwed up the law so much that it would be impossible to convict any more sodomite in the country.
Selamat Hari Raya to you and your family.
Selamat hari Raya Maaf Zahir Batin Dari Cyberwira@Lancang Kuning sekeluarga kepada Tun Sekeluarga.

Selamat Hari Raya Tun
Haha another good one from Tun.
However, my gut feeling tells me there is a ‘story’ behind this article. I believed it is only human that we forget but the question is, are we really forgetful or do we deliberately forget? If I may be so ignorant to say that we may tend to forget day, dates, months, years and time but not events. It may slip off our mind but our brains have the capability to recall such events that had happened previously in our life, briefly or otherwise. It is true when Tun said, “God has endowed Man (and Woman) with the ability to remember” but it’s not exactly correct when you said, “That is the basic difference between us and the animals”. Animals like elephants, cats, dogs etc do have the capability to remember as well. The phrase: “one has a memory of an elephant” rings the bell.
In reference to your para 8.
“I am going to take a memory course. Should I have occasion to be investigated or summoned to face a trial, I would be able to remember the suit I wore any day in my life and where I was when wearing the particular suit on a particular day.”
In jest, may I ask Tun..did Tun forget something you wore on a particular day besides the suit? It’s also very important to remember other details when answering in court. There’s every possibility the judge and the legal councils would also like to know the color of your underwear…perhaps? Haha Maaf Zahir & Batin.
Take care and may god protect my dear Tun always. God Bless.
hi tun
please write more on US financial crisis and effect to global economy.
im in early 30's, i suffer more bad memory loss problem, maybe because i drink too much china set milk before.
I Love You Tun.
Dear Tun,
Selamat Hari Raya maaf Zahir dan batin. When I saw your entry on memory, and how you always seems to forget important dates such as wedding anniversary and birthday, I almost choked on the tea that i was drinking when I was reading your entry. It's nice to see that you share the same problem that most men have... the convenience to forget important dates. LOL. We women definitely can remember dates pretty well...I don't know why men have such difficulties to do so. I believe that you're not the only one who gets into trouble with your wife for forgetting such dates, because my other half forgets important dates all the time too despite being in his early twenties. :-(
Actually, I do not know where your entry is heading until I read your no. 9, which is someone's inability to recall a certain trauma that he went through. I finally understood what you are trying to say. If someone was put through certain terror, he's most likely to remember the event very clearly, unless of course, he's lying or he's paid to lie. :-D
I have to pen down now, Tun, take care, God bless, and if God willing, I'll meet you in your open house this coming Sunday.
Yours truly,
Cleffairy
Most people can memorise very well about the good things that they have encountered, while many others can memorise very well the bad things which they have encountered. Naturally, very few people have the ability to remember everything very well in their life times.
Knowing the different patterns of human memory, there is no assurance that witnesses who are called to court would testify the truth. And it is indeed irony for the court to subpoena witnesses who have short memory to testify in courts.
And it would be more pointless for the court to reguire a witness who is ill-memoried to swear before his testimony that he would speak the truth but nothing except the truth.
God The Almighty is great for He created everything, including the human race. Knowing very well the behaviour of human being which He created, God presiding the Divine Court in the next world do not believe anymore in the mouth to tell the truth, but the ears, eyes, hands and legs would speak the truth.
In this worldly courts, and knowing that human has short memory, whether as prosecution or defence witnesses, it is definite if we are in a position to fix the judges !
Dear Tun,
Selamat Hari Raya to you and your beloved wife, Tun Hasmah.
Great to hear from you Tun on 2nd day of Hari Raya.
Hmm..... I am trying to figure out what Tun meant on this article. I am very sure Tun as always trying to tell us something. This is not just a plain Human Memory article, is it Tun? I know there are more to it.
Well I guess with all the ketupat and the curry daging have slowed me down a bit.
Anyway, it looks like I am the first.

u are so right on that,selamat hari raya Tun.& many many happy returns,,,,,,
Salam Tun,
Judges & Lawyers sometimes forget that they are fallable human beings too! especially those with wicked ulterior motives.
Thanks, Wassalam.
Tun
How was your Hari Raya ? I think it must good especially meeting up with all your beloved ones , just like me , a chinese always appreciate the spirits of Chinese New Year where in that particular day , all the family members meet together.
About this memory issue, I do agree with you on certain issues but not what you mention about issues relating to evidence in court.
I am a lawyer by profession. With greatest respect to Tun, People like your standard should have written records on what you are doing at that time and even if you don't , you have assistants to assist you especilally on important matters.
I always record down what I do in case I lost memory of it, and I always tell my staffs to put on record on who they talk to and about what so that nobody can point figures at each other.
If Tun is hinting on the possible issues regarding the sacking of judges, yes Tun may forgot what was said at that time but then surely there are records on it. Now , the issue is where are this record (if any) , and this exactly what the court are looking, not primarily on oral evidence itself. The best evidence is document evidence , and in legal terms we called it as "real evidence".
Can you sack a judge simply by telling him that you are now sacked without any record as the reason why the judge was sacked ?
On sodomy cases, especially with the present sophiscated gadgets, it not difficult to obtain real evidence, but then the victim or the criminal surely must know the exeact location and also the inside of the secene itself. Just like an artist who paint a picture of a live human being or a specific place , he must have the exact visual in order to make out his painting.
This is my personal professional view and I maybe wrong in certain things but I do hope my contribution herein can render some assistance to Tun in a way that a person may not neccesary have to attend a memory course where you have to pay for it. Just adopt the simple way ie just try to pen down whatever important thing that you do , and for double protection , if you have a computer now just input the record therein.
As a Malaysian, what worries me now is how our country will face the on coming financial turmoil ?
All politicians should sit down and use their head together to overcome this financial turmoil.
Thank you and have a nice day , Tun.
Dear Tun,
I thought you would be taking a break during this Hari Raya or preparing for the open house.
I cannot read your mind, but I am sure you are trying to say something. Anyway, some people have very good memory. Some of my friends who are into business and have made it good have very good memory for dates, numbers and faces. I have a friend who sometimes play golf with me. He could remember the many types of wager that he plays against us. At the end of the 18 holes, he would know how much he made or lost to each one of us. Poor me, I had to refer to my score card!
Artists have very good memory for details. Lat is one of them. I bet he would still know the details of his home town of Batu Gajah.
I am surprised that you said you have poor memory. Doctors have good memory for they need to remember the medicines that they are to prescribe for each sickness.
salam,
Very deep meaning this time.
1)Sometimes person like Dr.Siti Hasmah care about sentimental values and repeating doing so yearly.
2)Thus, she bare in mind of all special occasions, makes her remember most birth dates and your anniversary.
3) Person who talks lie are unable to remember on what said n done.
4) Person as busy as you and many occasion attended and nothing attracted u, make u forget things easily.
5) Person who had been sodomised surely remember every details futhermore repeatedly..
6) Same goes to person have been raped, they are in trauma!!!
7) Same goes to my accident with merc road gangster year 2005 kl-seremban hgway, i still can remember the car plate number.
Thanks for reminder Tun Dr.mahathir muhammad.
To everybody, try to train your brain every second 'to think' at least play Sudoku.
regards to all
The jurisdiction of our laws does work in that system. Unless in the mere future one can able to use hypnotic and have the technology to abstract out the photographic of the incident and transform it out in picture. Then one is always suppress to the mercy of the Juries and Judges in playing to the justice of the crime.
Because of this criminal get off always or at times being innocently sentenced and convicted.
At either vice versa the memory of the goodness or evil that reside in the mind will always be the Judge and will thereof face judgment when the times come. This one there will be no escape compare to our intelligent. As HIS ways are HIGHER than our…….
The crime will be JUST by itself when the end near!
Tun,
Your memory is as good as people in their twenties. I have heard stories of your outstanding attention to details and remembering the reasons behind the details.
But, what you mentioned in your article is also right. Most of the time in court, the lawyers will do their best to solicit answers to minute details and attack you if the answers are contradictory. May be the best answer would be not to answer to minute detail.
Salam Aidil Fitri.

Assalamualaikum Tun,
Kelemahan saya pula adalah untuk mengingat nama orang. Walaupun kenal sangat dengan orang itu tetapi lupa namanya. Yang paling sedih apabila kita berbual-bual dengannya tetapi kita masih tak ingat namanya. Teringat saya kalaulah semua orang mengamalkan memakai name tag seperti yang Tun sarankan, ia dapat menyelesaikan masaalah saya.
Tetapi saya diberi kelebihan sikit mengingati nombor. Banyak juga nombor telefon, nombor kereta, nombor kad pengenalan dan tarikh lahir isteri,anak2 dan cucu2 yang boleh saya ingat. Jadi ramailah kawan dan jiran telefon saya untuk bertanyakan nombor telefon ahli keluarga saya.
Begitulah manusia ini. Tidak ada yang sempurna. Yang sempurna hanya ALLAH TAALA.
Insya Allah anak saya Khairul Nizar Abd.Hayee serta keluarganya yang tinggal di Shah Alam akan berkunjung ke rumah Tun pada 5hb Okt.ini. Saya menjangkakan ramai orang yang akan hadir nanti kerana Tun adalah pemimpin yang disayangi rakyat dari semua kaum. Saya percaya mereka datang bukan keutamaannya kerana hendak menjamu selera tetapi untuk berjumpa dan bersalam sambil mengucapkan selamat hari raya kepada Tun.
SELAMAT HARI RAYA TUN. SEMOGA TUN SENTIASA DIKURNIA KESIHATAN YANG BAIK. AMIN!
Dear Dr M,
First of all,please allow me to wish you and your family "Selamat HariRaya".
I don't know whether after reading the above posting made me laugh or cry. You see, my beloved late husband used to be just like you -and more often than not forgets our wedding anniversary or my birthdays. So I said to him, at least I am "historical but not hysterical". The only thing that I am hopeless at remembering is to re-enact an argument and I ended up saying things in a different context but same meaning... you know what I mean. But that spell trouble isn't it. The topic of argument thus become pointless as everyone involved said they didnt say "this" or "that" :)
Having said that, what did you say last year today?????
Tun,
We must be given a choice for either "Remember to forget" or "Forget to remember".
In particular, it is simply not fair to punish someone who can not recall 100% of a police report made after a while.

Good evening Tun,
Selamat Hari Raya Puasa.
I agreed with you... same things happen to me.. i only can remember my weedding.. other than that i depend to my wife.. who can remember all kind of dates... its miracle to me.
Regards
Assalammua'laikum Ayahanda Tun,
Ummmmm.....I forgot what to say.Ohhh yes..Now I remember!
Wishing you and family SELAMAT HARIRAYA AIDILFITR.May Allah bless you and family with good health always.InsyaAllah.
I have the same problem too.Maybe what is important to others may not be so important to us.Thats why our memory failed to write this minute details and store in our hard drive(mind).Like a computer hard drive, our memory power slows down as it ages.Just like a computer.
Maybe someday, humans will find a way to upgrade the mind to a better processor or memory chip just like upgrading a computer hardware.Only then we can boost our memory performances.
Does this mean that I have to remember to remember.....ohhh God!I forgot again.
Wassalam...
Salam Ayahanda Tun dan Keluarga.
Pertama sekali Selamat Hari Raya kepada ayahanda sekeluarga.
Memang benar Ayahanda Tun..Benda yg baik sebenarnya susah di ingat..tetapi yg
kurang baik boleh di ingat..sesetengah "orang" tak mahu ingat.Siapa nak mengaku tambah2 kalau kes meliwat orang lain..Saya tak mahu negara saya yg telah maju di pimpin oleh "PELIWAT."
Apa pun teruskan memberi tahu apa yg tersirat Ayahanda..Anakanda senantiasa berkempen di tempat kerja(Kapal terbang) tentang laman blog dan kepimpinan Ayahanda!!
HiDUP TUN MAHATHIR MOHAMMAD!!
reading your blogpost remind us that you're human afterall. i have that problem of remembering date too.. even my own birthday i'll sometime missed. :D
take good care and stay healthy always!

Assalamualaikum Tun Dr. Mahathir,
Terkejut buka laman web Tun tapi belum ada beribu-ribu comment diposting.Hari raya le katakan...
'So please try to memorise everything you do every day. Don't forget the details.'
But not everything is something. It could be just nothing...
Salam lebaran dari perantauan.
Akum Tun,
Salam Aidil Fitri to you and your family.
Me to cannot remember my kids age, well I got to guess.
hope to see meet u this Sunday.
Salam Dear Tun and Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri to you and the family.
I think this piece was written in response to Zaharan Razak's ""I" of the Storm: Dr Mahathir's Last Hooray?" (http://zveloyak.blogspot.com/2008/04/dr-mahathirs-last-hurrah.html) in which a blogger, in his comment on the piece - conveniently accused you for having selective amnesia with regards to the VK Lingam's case.
Anyhow, well said, Tun! We should all take a memory course. Another course maybe worth taking would be on how to avoid a Freudian slip so that 'tak tersasul kata' (our friends in the Pakatan Rakyat should be the first ones to enroll for this course, in my humblest opinion).
I pray for your good health and of Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah's also.
Tun , coming to 66 I am beginning to forget a lot of things which were done a few days back or even a few hours ago . But fortunately I don't forget what you have done for the country and the people .
Selamat Hari Raya, Mohon Maaf Lahir dan Batin.
Kita semua setuju that god tak minta kita untuk record the chronologies of our life untuk hari pembalasan nanti. sebab itu nabi nasihat kat kita supaya dont tell lies because satu sen pun tak benefited to us. so islam percaya kepada hari pembalasan itu, and we know that we will be judge accordingly.
different between human and animals ...human can play gods. we created the human laws. the accused can ask for 4 witnesses, and can choose his own god. i wonder if you ask your wife for evidence bout the dates. maybe she will started to remember the date which u wish not to remember. and maybe thers more wish for her ...
my wife even can remember the fisrt word i spoke to her....and i dont know how to respond ....so i just borrow your smile (without permission...sorry)
Assalamualaikum Tun Mahathir Sir,
It brings me great honour to wish you Selamat Hari Raya! May God Bless you!
I can't wait for this weekend to meet you at your Hari Raya Open House. Hopefully I will get to meet you in person and exchange Hari Raya greetings:)
btw, I am a Malay Singaporean who is jaded with life here. I look up to you Sir for inspiration, so I don't mind the long journey by bus from Singapore to K.L. just to attend your Open House.
Continue the good fight!...May God bless you always!
Respectfully yours,

Selamat Hari Raya.
hai tun,
how was your raya celebrations went on?this is a good one to think about and i strongly agree with it.i know it's about the lingam case and perhaps tun might involved or not involved in this case...............hopefully not.........but i think it's normal to do anything that can protect yourself if u are in power,that's also one of human's nature.human also has many weak points like not perfect,ungrateful,greedy,notorious...........ect.in this modern world,humans are fighting among themselves to be top so this what is happening in our country right now.
Assalamualaikum Tun dan Salam Aidilfitri...
Semoga Tun dan para pembaca/pengikut laman blog ini bergembira menyambut Raya pada kali ini...
Boleh ka Tun memberi serba sedikit berkenaan Krisis Kewangan yang berlaku di Amerika...? Hairan juga negara besar macam tu boleh dapat krisis macam ni... baru2 ni dia orang luluskan 700 bilion usd untuk 'cover' kerugian yang ada... mampus rakyat yang bayar cukai nak tanggung semua ni...
Harap semua ini tidak berlaku di Negara Kita Malaysia...
Harap Tun bentang kan tajuk di atas untuk tajuk blog selepas ini...
Sekian..
Kakitangan Awam Yang Resah.
Tun,
At this juncture, whatever one wants to believe, or not believe, there will still be varied different opinion. We who believe in you, are people who wants to look to the good. Those who don't, you know why.
As had been said many times, million times, etc. if we want to argue - no matter why, there will be reasons to argue. Facts are facts, and truths will be truths. Our conscience determines and only Allah knows.
I am just grateful, you are what you are.
God bless!

Salam Tok Det & bloggers,
The best and efficient to train memory is by reciting Al-Quran and looking at Kaabah regularly. Somebody had told me before and I don't remember who, but I did it and it works! It's God's miracle, can't never explain it.
And Quran recitor never do bad thing to people like calling people names, talking bad things, beating up people, accused people or whatever bad it is.
It's better not to talk/speak if the words do not benefit anybody in this world or in the HereAfter.
p/s: To all, as I always said, whatever we do, HE is watching us. You can never imagine HIS punishment.
Tun,
You do not need to bother too much about the laws because you are going to face the eternal judgment conducted by the Almighty God very soon. He will recall all your memories. If you have not done anything wrong, why bother.
Tun,
What's the matter with Tun now? Many Malaysians, including the non-Malays, are still in Hari Raya mood but Tun already starts to talk about Sodomy on the second day of Hari Raya!
Tun might not be able to remember everything which happened in the past but I just hope that Tun can recall the events of 1998 and answer the following questions of mine:
1) Why did you force the former owner of Magnum Corporation and Multi-purpose Bank, Mr. Lim Thian Kiat, to sell off his shareholdings in these two groups of companies?
2) Wasn't it because you suspected that Lim Thian Kiat was the crony of Anwar who hired Dato Nara Karuppan to go lobby Anwar for license approval when Anwar was still the Finance Minister in your 1997/1998 cabinet?
3) Could you swear on al-Quran that you were not aware of any womanizing deal which happened in Tivoli Apartment with Dato Nara Karuppan serving as the middle man? Could you swear also that you were not aware that the Police had twisted and turned the womannizing deal into a sodomy deal based on either your implied hint or your straight-forward and open suggestion or on any possible misunderstanding about your saying in 1998 by the Police officer who reported his investigation on Anwar to you in your capacity as the Prime Minister?
Anyway, I am glad that Tun can still remember your old acquiantance Anwar, even though Tun might not remember that Tun did allow Tan Sri Rahim Noor to send me to ISA detention camp in 1998. Anyway, I should be thankful to Tun since the ISA detention changed me spiritually and turned me to strongly believe in God. I always remember Tun, especially during Hari Raya Aidilfitri when "Maaf Zahir Batin" is the message sent by God to all.
Here are the further messages which I wish to share with Tun with holy purposes:
Mengingati TEMAN tanda persahabatan.
Mengingati MATI sumber kekuatan IMAN.
Mengingati AKHIRAT semulia-mulia INGATAN.
Dan mengingati TUHAN itulah ketenangan.
Onlooker
Yeah, this time im the first one.
Salam & Selamat Hari raya to Tun,
im glad that im born and grown up in your era.
Please take care of urself and family.

salam hormat Tun Mahadhir
Selamat hari raya aidil fitri sekeluarga
Memang benar apa yang di katakan Tun. Saya rasa ada tiga kemungkinan.
kemungkinan pertaman kejadian liwat sering di lakukan sehingga lupa semua details nya.Kemungkinan kedua dua2 pelaku menikmatinya dan tidak ada niat buat laporan polisi.Kemungkinan ketiga semuanya dusta sahaja tidak pernah berlaku.Tapi kalau tidak belaku saya tidak percaya kerana hanya mereka yang tidak siuman akan melaporkaqn kepada polis.Saya juga menyerahkan kepada pihak polis melakukan siasat yang professional.kalau kurang bukti dan kurang meyakinkan kes di gugor.
Selamat Hari Raya Idilfitri! Tun & Family
Jika seseorang itu hilang memory kerana usia tuanya boleh terima,jangan hilang memory secara pilihan hati sudahlah!
Ingatkah Tun mengapa serah pucuk pimpinan kpd Paklah tu? harap harap si Paklah tu juga masih ingat!
brilliant entry tun!
As'kum yang dikasihi Tun,
Still in Hari Raya mood most of your readers… me as well. But by the way, great article as always and as cynical as ever. I got your point there. :) Wassalam and my Allah bless you.
Dear Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad,
Thank you for posting in Syawal.
This is indeed an interesting topic.
I have a friend who always forget his keys. You can imagine his predicament. Such as, standing near his car after a Friday prayer, and near the masjid, with cars not moving since his is blocking, and the car key he forgot, is at the tempat wuduk. To walk back, is about "20 miles hour away!"
I told him, the next time and the next, he shall proclaim, "Kat ateh meja makan ropanya aku letak konci kereta", He is allowed to sound like a leader proclaiming "Merdeka!" Then do what ever is necessary, when done, "Mana aku letak konci kereta tadi?"
So, I agree with you, when you wrote: So please try to memorise everything you do every day. Don't forget the details. It can be fatal for you.
Human's memory is fallible.
Sometimes, we think that we know something well and we insist on it but in fact it is just a false impression. There is a trap in our mind.
As said by Edward de Bono: Perception is real even though it is not reality.
Can we trust our memory?
No, unless we record all the details we encounter in life in words so that no error will occur. This is plain nonsense because our time is too precious for doing this kind of thing.
Great post.
dear tun, wishing u and your family a very happy aidilfitri... i like the way u spoke about memories.. i'll start to remember too ... thanks
Assalamualaikum Tun,
By any standard your memory is well above average! For sure, yours is better than mine. Many people I have spoken to have said you remember a lot about history and were able to recollect a lot about what happened in the past and not just about Malaysia. I believe what is important is to remember things that are relevant to the survival of our country. On this I rate you A. I have been wanting to write in your blog for quite some time. Now that I happen to be in front of my laptop and reading your latest blog, I better say something.
When you and your predecessors (except Tunku Abdul Rahman) were Prime Ministers this country was run pretty well. A lot of progress and development were made especially under your tenure. I have been your fan ever since I was a student and have benefited a lot from your tenure. However, when Pak Lah became prime minister, things have not been going well and a lot of people are very disappointed with him. You are definitely one of them. My concern is HOW DO WE ENSURE A GOOD SUCCESSION of leadership prevails in our beloved country.
Is our present system of choosing a leader and ensuring that he is the best candidate good enough? I tend to make comparison between how we choose a leader in Malaysia vs. how USA chooses their leader. Can we change or improve our system of choosing a leader (prime minister)? I believe we need to change the system to ensure that there is NOT another Pak Lah (or his equivalence) after this. Else, we would end up in another mess. The next time it happens you might not be around to write in this blog! I believe for someone to be a Prime Minister he should be tested thoroughly and be exposed to the public such that we (especially the voters) know that he is capable of leading us into the future. I noticed Pak Lah is WEAK in many areas such as communication, ability to comprehend current situations and answering questions. There are many other weaknesses I heard from others. These weaknesses would have been exposed if he were to take part in a debate with say Tengku Razaleigh! I believe something MUST be done to AVOID ANOTHER PAK LAH! Appreciate your comments and ideas on this issue please.
salam tun
ya betul.. sebagai manusia biasa.. kita tak dapat ingat secara details dalam semua perkara benda yg dah lama berlalu..
selamat hari raya tun..
Assalamualaikum w.w.b
A very very good advised.
Thank a lot.
I'll remember what have TUN have done to the country.
Melayu jangan mudah lupa... Kami sentiasa mengingati jasamu Tun...
Dearest YBH TUN
A very interesting article indeed. I am a law abiding citizen of this country. I will try to heed your advice. But my problem is, like some of the human race, I am partly colour blind. I cannot see green.I cannot memorise what I cannot see. This has always been at the back of my mind. Can this be fatal for me?
Thank you TUN
SELAMAT HARI RAYA

Selamat Hari Raya Tun dan Toh Puan. Betul kata Tun. Saya pun lebih ingat peristiwa masa kecil daripada banyak peristiwa yang berlaku waktu usia dah semakin meningkat ni :).
Di mana semua?
Salam Aidil Fitri buat Tun sekeluarga.
"In a court of law, if you fail to remember every detail of what you did on a particular day 5, 10 or 15 years ago, then you must be lying, you must be hiding something."
Saya selalu berfikir bahawa Mahkamah yang dikatakan adil itu sebenarnya tidaklah adil sangat. Sebab seperti yang Tun sebutkan di atas jelas bahawa Mahkamah tidak akan mempertimbangkan sesuatu kes itu jika tarikh sesuatu yang terjadi itu bercanggah. Atau keterangan sesuatu yang telah terjadi 5, 10 tahun lalu tidak dapat dipastikan lalu ianya terus dibuang dari perbicaraan. Inilah ketidak adilan Mahkamah yang dikatakan adil itu.
Contoh kes liwat DSAI. Sebahagian Hakim mendapati ada unsur-unsur yang jelas bahawa perlakuan sodomi telah berlaku tapi oleh kerena bukti tak cukup sahih maka kes sodomi itu terus dibuang begitu sahaja. Sebaliknya DSAI hanya disabitkan kerena kes rasuah ekoran dari cubaan menutup perlakuan sodomi tersebut. Disinilah ketidak adilan Mahkamah.
Saya katakan tak adil sebab mangsa liwat yang menanggung derita, cemuhan, diaibkan dan tekanan perasaan akibat kena liwat tidak diambil kira oleh Mahkamah. Dimanakah keadilan jika pemangsa bebas dan mangsa pula terpaksa mengharungi sisa-sisa hidup seterusnya dianggap sebagai pendusta kerena keterangannya dianggap bohong atau fitnah?
Bagi pendangan saya jika pun Mahkamah mendapati keterangan tidak cukup sahih tetapi ada sedikit bukti berlaku juga sodomi sekurang-kurangnya pemangsa wajar dijatuhkan hukuman minimal bukan terus buang kes tersebut. Dengan demikian mangsa setidak-tidaknya terbela. Itu baru keputusan yang adil. Tidak memihak kepada mana-mana.
Ini cuma pandangan saya bukan mahu menghina Mahkamah.
Selamat hari raya aidil fitri. Maaf zahir bathin.
Salam Tun !
I hope Tun will come back soon to umno and do something about it , we are in a shamble right now . None from the top knows what's actually going on down here but they only know how to take care of their own pocket ! I must say this to you to get it off my chest , Tun you need to do something about that culprit in Rembau tun know who l'm talking about , wow that feels very good ! Anyway l saw Tun't picture in the news paper recently and l'm a bit worried about Tun's health , kenapa kurus sangat Tun !
Wassalam
Selamat Hari Raya to Tun Dr.M Tun Siti and Fly
i will be in your house on 5 oct
Salam Tun, Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri dan Maaf Zahir Batin,
1)It is rather ridiculous to remember everything in life, normal human just can't remember what shirts there were wearing last 15 days ago. But it is true when in court you can't remember something then people will associate it with lying.
2)Tun, in case of UMNO, the movement is in trouble now and not relevant to youngsters now since the power play from the branch, division, state and to the top management is very dirty.
3)Umno pilih ketua cawangan berdasarkan kriteria berdasarkan org yg boleh memmpengaruhi org2 dalam cawangan tersebut dan juga di peringkan bahagian. Org2 ini samada mempunyai byk wang, atau org yang di'respect' sbb mungkin samseng, org hormat dan ikut apa yng diarahkan, mempunyai kuasa untuk mempengaruhi org.
4) Jarang sekali pemimpin ini dipilih berdasarkan kejujuran, dan org betul2 memperjuangkan aspirasi parti, sebab org yang lurus dan jujur akan sentiasa dipijak oleh ahli-ahli mereka.
5) Umno secara tak langsung menerapkan budaya rasuah dalam pergerakan bermula dari peringkat cawangan lagi, sebab itu lah maruah dan perjuangan ahli boleh dijual dengan hanya sehelai kain pelikat sahaja. Kebanyakan yg pegang jawatan bermula dari cawangan telah dijanjikan ganjaran jika sokong org2 tertentu dan menang untuk jawatan lebih tinggi dlm parti.
6) Kalau budaya ini diteruskan saya rasa UMNO akan pupus jugak satu hari nanti. Saya bukan org UMNO tapi saya sayang Malaysia dan berharap generasi akan datang tidak corrupt. Sebab ini lah golongan muda dan professional tidak sokong umno, nothing to loose. Please do something.
Thanks
Assalamualaikum & Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir Batin Ayahanda Tun & Keluarga,
Hakikat perundangan sememangnya begitu, sesiapa yg bijak dan kaya dapat membeli peguam yg baik yg tahu menggunakan kelemahan perundangan untuk mempertahan atau menyerang.
Pada hemat saya pengaruh DSAI telah tercalar disebabkan peristiwa kali "kedua". Ini adalah tamparan terhebat bagi DSAI walau beliau selamat pada pilihanraya Kubang Pasu, namun pengaruhnya telah merosot dikalangan ulama dan penyokong PAS.
Walau DSAI tidak bersumpah ianya cukup untuk masyarakat yg cerdik pandai menilai siapa sebenarnya DSAI. Tidak perlu kita berkempen utk menunjukkan kesalahan dan keaiban beliau utk kali ini. Ianya telah terserlah.
Apa yg Tun telah tunjukkan pada kejadian "pertama" mungkin tidak dapat mempengaruhi sesetengah org, tetapi kini ianya telah berubah. PAS tidak akan menuntut DSAI memberi penerangan tentang kejadian "kedua". Cukup antara mereka berkata "faham faham aje lah".
Saya percaya rakyat Malaysia belum bersedia mempunyai seorang PM yg sebegini.
adik-adik...Di mana semua?
Salam Tun... selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir Batin...
semoga Tun dan Keluarga dalam lindungan Allah senantiasa...
apa yang Tun perkata kan itu NYATA ada kebenaran nya...
si Folan yang Durjana itu seharus nya di KUBUR kan... lama dulu
100% true Tun...sometimes we even cant memorize our own birthday. Further more as a Prime Minister once, its quit difficult for u to memorize Tun. Sometimes Imam also can forget their Quran reading while praying. Selamat Hari Raya Tun.
Selamat Aidil Fitri Tun,
I used to remember things and event very well when i was young till mid-age around 42years, maybe i was trained as a medical assistant which a lot of brain tuning and memory to force into my small brain. Now i am 55 years there are so many things i forgot totally and at many a time yesterday happenings seems so hard to recall exactly, my wife and friends says i am old. I say "Hey, Tun Mahathir is same age as my mom and he give speeches, real good speeches locally or internationally alike without notes, straight from the mouth and facts are always correct...how?"
Tun you are one person in my life that i think have memory like what the saying,"memory of an elephant".
Stay strong Tun
Cheers!

selamat hari raya aidilfitri buat no 1 malaysia Tun dan Keluarga.
Semuga aidilfitri dapat mengeratkan hubungan umat isalam semua.
Perjuangan adalah satu jihat.
Perjuangan Tun masih belaum selasai. demi bangsa dan negara ramai dikalangan rakyat malaysia berharap dan menaruh harapan Tun Meneruskan perjuangan seperti yang telah Tun lakukan...
terima kasih Tun masih memberi masa demi rakyat dan negara..
Salam Tun,
Begitu juga dengan ramai pemimpin2 UMNO dan BN sekarang. Mereka telah lupa, atau pura2 lupa, atau berfikir orang lain telah lupa bahawa suatu masa dahulu semasa Tun Mahathir menjadi Presiden UMNO, Pengerusi BN dan Perdana Menteri Malaysia, mereka begitu menyanjung dan memuji kepimpinan, visi dan idea2 Tun, walaupun mereka sedia maklum bahawa Tun tidak pernah menuntut sanjungan dan pujian daripada mereka.
Kini setelah Tun tidak lagi menjadi pemimpin negara, mereka langsung lupa akan memori2 cinta mereka terhadap Tun, semata2 kerana teguran2, nasihat2 dan kritikan2 Tun terhadap kepimpinan Abdullah Badawi yang begitu lemah, lembab, bengang dan flip-flop yang telah menimbulkan kebencian kepada rakyat. Bagi mereka, zaman Tun sudah berlalu dan mereka menganggap Tun sebagai pengacau.
Kini terbukti kebanyakan rakyat yang cintakan keamanan, kesejahteraan ekonomi dan kes
