曾担任任国阵时代首相署部长的再益依布拉欣（Zaid Ibrahim，上图右）针对马哈迪近日的政治作为发表其毫不留情、一针见血评论。他直批马哈迪是“最自私的人”（The Most Selfish Man）。
以下是<当今大马>翻译自作者的英文文章“The most selfish man”的华文译稿,大标题经<当今大马>修改为<马哈迪乃世上最自私的人>。以上插图与说明以及文内小标题为<人民之友>编者所加。
马哈迪把辞职当作其权力游戏的筹码
他为什么辞掉首相？不是因为他终于决定不当首相了，而是这样才能一举铲除所有的内阁部长。
首相一旦辞职，则内阁就荡然无存。那是自私。他不应该把辞职当作其权力游戏的筹码。我们能不把公职当儿戏，应该珍惜和履行服务人民的机会，同时做些好事。
他不应该接受国家元首委任他为看守首相。看守首相其实负责协调新首相的委任，而新首相则是通过选举或元首劝告下，取得大多数支持的人选。他不应该自己安排自己的上任。你知道史上有哪个过渡首相，自己支援自己的夺权游戏吗？在文明世界里，压根儿没有这种事情。马来西亚是世上首个允许这可疑行径的国家。
马哈迪利用"看守首相"职权满足私欲
马哈迪辞职翌日，就清楚知道自己还要再当首相。他不应该利用看守首相之便，满足私欲。你真是自私绝顶。
土著团结党决定退出希盟时，是他亲自主持的会议。这使希盟陷入水深火热，尤其影响它在国会所掌握的议席数额。他这么做，显然是为了否决安华任相的机会（我希望他会徒劳无功。）
这是又一次自私的决定，他背叛昔日盟友，即便这些人不仅让他当上了首相，而且在过去两年不管外人的异样眼光，老是赞颂他。（别忘了希盟曾为马哈迪辩护，说对方不必为喜来登政变负责任。）
我敦促马来统治者支持国家元首，拒绝让这个最自私的人出任看守首相，避免国家继续受到伤害。如果安华在国会掌握大多数支持，那么他即日就应该宣誓任相。若不，那就举行大选，无论我们将付出多么沉重且不利的代价。#

The most selfish man
Author:Zaid Ibrahim

Politics is the art of making selfish desires seem like national interests. Thomas Sowell wrote this many years ago, but it is so true as we have witnessed with the political drama in the last week. From what has happened, it is my considered opinion that Dr Mahathir Mohamed is indeed a selfish man, unmatched in the history of the country.
Why did he resign as prime minister? Not because he has decided, at long last, that he no longer wants to be a prime minister, but because that's the way to remove all the ministers in the cabinet in one swoop.
When a prime minister resigns, then the cabinet ceases to exist. That's selfish. He should not use the resignation as part of his Games of Thrones. We don't play games with public office, we cherish and honour the opportunity to serve and do good.
He should not have accepted the appointment by the King as caretaker PM. This is because a genuine caretaker PM facilitates the appointment of the new prime minister, whether by election or by advising the King as to the best way to know who commands the majority support. He is not supposed to facilitate his own ascension. Do you know of any interim caretaker PM who has facilitated his own power grab? None in the civilised world. Again Malaysia is the first in the world of questionable behaviour.
Mahathir obviously knew he wanted to be prime minister again, a day after he resigned. He should not use the position of caretaker for his own interest. You cannot be more selfish than this.
He chaired the meeting when the decision for Bersatu to leave Pakatan Harapan was made, thereby rendering Harapan in a bind, especially when the number of Harapan MPs in Parliament will be affected. He obviously did this to deny Anwar Ibrahim (below) the chance to be prime minister (to no avail I hope).
Another selfish decision and betrayal on those erstwhile partners of his, who made him prime minister, and over two years were forever praising him no matter how ridiculous they look in doing so. (Remember the Harapan chorus that Mahathir was not responsible for the Sheraton putsch.)
I urge His Highnesses the Malay Rulers to give support to the Agong to stop the country from further harm by removing the most selfish man as caretaker prime minister. If Anwar has the largest number of support in Parliament then he should be sworn in today. If not, let's have an election, no matter how undesirable costly and painful it is.#
