The former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, today joins fellow bloggers in cyberspace at http://www.chedet.com/ to publish his thoughts and comments.
In the preface of his weblog, he said:
'' This site is dedicated to publishing my writings as and when I am able to pen my thoughts and opinion. ''
In the northern state of Kedah where he was born, 'Che Det' is a very familiar name to those who know him since he was young. It is the pen name in many of his writings, articles and books.
Dr Mahathir, 82, was Malaysia fourth Prime Minister from July 1981 to 2003 when he stepped down and handed over to his successor, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
His eldest daughter, Marina Mahathir, is also a blogger (http://rantingsbymm.blogspot.com) and a journalist and has her own weekly column in a local daily.
The weblog starts with the article 'The Appointment of Judges' in which he questions the present Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi how these judges will be appointed.
This weblog would certainly draw many who are his admirers as well as his many detractors. The comments left behind by them will be most interesting to read.
Welcome to blogging, Sir !
