Dr M is disappointed with the civil service but hopeful it can shine again

It was an enthusiastic crowd that greeted Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (pic) this morning as he returned to the Prime Minister’s Office he had left 15 years ago.

The applause among the Prime Minister’s Department staff was rather warm as Dr Mahathir went on stage to give his monthly address. The crowd, as one civil servant told StarTV, was bigger than usual.
