In chess, people said make a wrong move, you can lose the whole game.

He knew those issues were planned during bn era, as many claim jawi and black shoe or etc. If he did research a bit on why it wasn't implemented or was not a priority before, he would have put that on hold and focus on those real thing like mentioned in ts article.

When priority is given to unimportant things, and unfortunately the toxic environment, you get shit blowing all over for tiny bit of things.

And actually if he doesn't resign for those issue, it is fine. Until mahathir nasihatkan dia, so what should he do? Or what can he do? When the old warlord want him to be a scapegoat, since mamak wanna be edu minister himself?
