Welcome back to public discourses, doc

It is clearer than clear that former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad is back to active public discourses and debates.

Although some people still do not like him for his many mistakes and errors in the past, I think as long as he now allows other to talk back to, or debate with, him freely, we should welcome the old man back to our public discourses and debates to stimulate the timid, lazy and lethargic minds and to provide alternatives or balances in our views of the fasting changing world.

Of course, by welcoming him back to public discourses and debates, we do not have to agree with everything he says (especially those which stereotype or profile people) but we should neither deny that, like him or not, he reads a lot and has gathered vast experience in his political life streching back to 1940s. So, we do not have to disagree with him for the sake of disagreeing either.

Let us now deal with his arguments and ideas on a case-by-case basis.
