Mahathir wants book to be released, Hishamuddin

Mahathir book 'pending approval' by Home Ministry
Copies of the book are with the Home Ministry, awaiting a decision as to whether it can be distributed.

Why lah? Why wait any longer?

Mahathir is protected by his own 'aura'.

Mahathir, the subject of the book, has already given his approval.

Mahathir needs no protection from the government. He is immune. He is Tun.

On the contrary, the government needs to be protected from Mahathir's criticisms.
