[Groop]name... becomes verb

[azamin]

Asian edition of Businessweek dated
2nd April 2001, page 4, had a
headline of " Dr. M's Curse;
Malaysia's Mahathir  has been so bad
for his nation that his name has
become a verb,  meaning `to wreck a
country's fortunes."  In that
article, there was a sentance "You
see, Mahathir is  no longer just a
name, it's also a verb - as in ``to
Mahathir an economy.'' That means to
almost single-handedly bring down
a          country's fortunes by
shooting off at the mouth."

This reminds me much of our Groo
whom single-handedly can destroy a
kingdom.  Maybe this Mahathir can be
Groo with power.  But Groo did
stepped down when not needed by the
people in "Man of the people"
compared to Mahathir who still
clings to power when most Malaysian
don't want him to continue as PM
(even by some of his own party
members).
