The most explosive blog post in the history of the Malaysian blogosphere

What else but the blog post on 19th May 2008 by Tun Dr Mahathir?

Anybody else informing the world via a blog posting that he’s quitting a political party might not be worth a second look, but this man is different:

Apparently he typed in the blog post himself, or at least dictated it.

He has been a member of Umno since its inception i.e. 1946. In 1946, most of us are not even born yet. In fact, some of the leaders of the other BN componenet were not even born then. Heck, the King of Malaysia was not even born yet.

He’s the number one member of Umno. His wife, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah is number 2. She has also quit Umno.

He’s a life member of Umno.

Umno is the mainstay of Barisan Nasional, the coalition that is ruling Malaysia.

He was the Prime Minister of Malaysia for 22 years, from 1981 to 2003.

Does any other Malaysian blog post, not just in the short history of the blogosphere, but rather the whole history of the World Wide Web, can even come close?
