Selepas nyanyuk, apa?

Mahathir blames police over Ops Lalang oleh: Regina Lee Feb 9, 2011 9:42am
Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad had pointed at the direction of the police over Ops Lalang, which saw 106 people arrested including top political dissidents under the Internal Security Act in 1987.
In the most recent book on Mahathir, 'Doctor M: Operation Malaysia - Conversations with Mahathir Mohamad', the former premier of 22 years revealed that he was furious over the mass crackdown.
"Well, I would have handled it differently, except that the police wanted to do these things because they say it is necessary...
"I actually met all of the opposition members (beforehand) and assured them that they would not be arrested. And you know what the police did? They arrested them. My credibility is gone," he said.
"You must have been furious!" retorted Tom Plate, the interviewer and author of the book.
"Yeah, but what can I do? You see, I have to accept that they are the people on the ground that makes a decision. I give general authority to them," continued Mahathir, who was known as a strongman who brook little dissent.

Bekas bos kami di JPS, Jabatan Pangairan dan Saliran Malaysia, pernah berbicara tentang kebimbangannya dalam mengharungi usia tua ― Nyanyuk!
“Minta simpang, malaikat empat puluh empat katanya, bersungguh-sungguh.” Ya, bos kami ini takut ― kalau-kalau dia dihinggapi penyakit nyanyuk.
Sehingga ke hari ini, dia masih gagah, malah mengikut Tan Sri Ismail Hussein, “Bekas bos kamu itu seorang ahlul masjid...”
Sementara itu dalam memperkatakan lengkung kehidupan manusia yang serba lemah itu, Azizi Abdullah berbicara tentang satu lagi fasa yang lebih dahsyat dan lebih menggerunkan.
Orang tua, kalau sudah sampai ke tahap bermain tahi, kira habislah...demikianlah kata Azizi.
Maka pesan kita ― untuk diri kita juga: Segeralah menjadi ahlul masjid... semuga kita tak akan bermain tahi sendiri, walaupun lengkung hayatnya merunduk ranum ke ufuk barat.
ii.
Apakah ada sebarang korelasi@hubungan yang boleh kita kaitkan dengan pengamatan Tan Sri dan juga Azizi Abdullah ini?
