A disturbing and deep state of fear


The U-turn: Dr Mahathir has said that the government was ‘forced’ to back out of signing the Rome Statute. Could a ‘deep state’ really have pushed through this U-turn?

WHAT do you do when you are faced with an insurmountable obstacle on a road you’re driving on? Of course, you may want to swerve to the right or left but if these options are not available, you just stop, make a U-turn and look for alternatives ways to reach your destination.

This obviously is a no-brainer, it’s not rocket science. But when something like this is done as a political manoeuvre, it does not go down well with anyone, no matter their political affiliations. Even if it is done to save a nation from being destroyed.
