My comments :

What does this have to do with Malaysia? Everything.  Erdogan has been the Muslim Brotherhood's poster boy in Turkey for about  25 years  (since 1994) when he became mayor of Istanbul.

As I said before, if you ate something wrong you will know almost immediately that you ate something wrong. If you bought a wrong car or vehicle you may know in months that you made a mistake. But when countries place their trust in the wrong leaders or wrong policies it may take 10 years, 25 years to realise they have made a mistake. 

This is now happening in Turkey.  Of course Erdogan draws support from the Muslim Brotherhood - who also have their agent here in Malaysia. Waiting to pounce on unsuspecting Malaysians.

They are inept, incompetent and plain stupid.  Everywhere the Muslim Brotherhood has had influence they have caused disaster. Eventually nothing but disaster will be the outcome of the Muslim Brotherhood's policies. Tunisia was under their control. Egypt, Algeria and of course Turkey. All have become worse basket cases.

An organisation of fools meant to fool other fools.  So Malaysia better watch out. Another Muslim Brotherhood "crony" is biting the dust in Turkey. Those crows will be looking for new roosts in Malaysia. Dont say I did not warn you.
