Is Mahathir Playing The Devil's Advocate ?



It amazes me to see some so-called writers, reporters, journalists and politicians in this country who have little understanding of "tongue-in-cheek" statements, sarcasms, acerbic wits, or if you may, a "figure of speech" that they have literally taken the meaning, of which the more initiated would not take at face value.

There was the PM wannabe daughter Nurul Izzah who literally translates Mahathir's metaphoric statement "better the devil you know" than ''the angel you don't" as Mahathir truly referring to his own party as a real hantu (devil) and now everyone in the opposition jumped on the bandwagon to deride Mahathir of his evil conjectures. 

Here, an ex-UMNO man, in a new political vehicle, went on a rampage in his "Politik Parti Iblis Dan Syaitan" extrapolating his former party devilish past and foreseen future, the creation of Mahathir's demon.

What these people failed to see or too dim-witted to understand is that Mahathir is playing the "devil's advocate" to see what are the responses to his platitudes, dishes of sarcasm and "tongue in cheek"

Another mishap here by an overzealous writer who run the gauntlet of literal moronic dispersal.

Quote.... "He mentions Mubarak, Hitler, Marcos, Ceausescu, Mussolini, Gaddaffi and Saddam Hussein – all dictators of ill repute, notorious and certainly of dubious prominence but may I humbly suggest to Tun Mahathir that maybe he might be aiming a tad too high when linking himself to these dictators"....Unquote

Hahaha! Is Mahathir that stupid to equate himself to such abominable names?
