Former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad stands firm on this statement that he did meet with opposition leaders prior to Operation Lallang in 1987.
This is despite the fact that several opposition leaders including DAP stalwarts Lim Kit Siang and Karpal Singh have denied that any such meeting had taken place.

Sementara itu terdapat satu lagi berita daripada the Malaysian Insider yang tidak kurang menarik:
Twitter influence By Melissa Chi February 12, 2011: “Najib vows the government will not resort to Internet censorship.”
“The prime minister was asked to comment on the crucial role of Facebook and Twitter, that has eventually led to the resignation of Egyptian strongman, President Hosni Mubarak, and how that recent incidents of ousting its leaders in the Arab world, translates to Malaysia.
“We’re not going to take that line. We’re talking about engaging the people so that the people understand the intention of government policies because the intention is good, because sometimes, they get a wrong appreciation about what we do,” he said, citing the growing group of fans on Facebook against 100-story tower project, as an example.
The Egyptian government had briefly banned the micro-blogging site, Twitter, as a result of massive protests arranged via social networking sites.
Najib said the power of the Internet is not surprising as it is part of a global phenomenon.
He added that the government can either choose to not partake in the global trend, or embrace it.
“We have chosen to be part of it but that means we have to manage it.”
Walau bagaimanapun Azmin Ali, Timbalan PKR itu pula berpendapat begini:
The Gombak MP said that while the biggest party in the ruling coalition, Umno, has their own cyber troopers, the level of confidence in the public towards Umno is diminishing.
“So whatever they say, people don’t trust them, so that’s why we rebut Umno/BN through the social network using this.
It is so useful and effective and that is why Hishammuddin announced recently that they want to curb this sort of activities.
So it’s an aproach that is moving backwards under Umno/BN and we have to explain this to the people — look they are moving backwards but we have the potential to lead Malaysia to greater heights,” he said.

He also claimed that the government fears online dissent.
“Certainly, they don’t want the truth to be disclosed but I believe the people, they want the truth to prevail, and earlier we witnessed that people’s power prevailed in Egypt.

Atau soalan yang lebih relevan “Siapakah yang boleh kita percayai?”
Komen kedua kita: Inilah dia wajah pemimpin dan kepimpinan kita?
(Masih ingat apakah sebab yang paling utama Skandal Watergate yang telah meranapkan Richard Nixon? Isunya yang paling utama, di negara yang bukan Islam itu, ialah rakyat Amerika tidak mahu Presiden mereka seorang pembohong. Itulah isunya Nixon jatuh.)
Ertinya, orang-orang Amerika, yang rata-rata bukan orang Islam, tidak sukakan pemimpin mereka kaki pembohong!)

Apakah kita yang rock slumber buat dengan para pemimpin kita?
(Apakah rakyat kita hanya melihatnya ― lalu memandang ke tempat lain?)
