Key to Bangladesh's Economic Success: Development Over Democracy!

Mahathir is not a dictator, but at those years, UMNO, a Malay political party has full support of Malay voters while after the year 2000, Malay ethnic voters are divided into several parties and it makes competition between parties get stronger and produce weaker government than during Mahathir period.

Parliamentary system is famous as making many weak government if there is no strong political party in the system, take a look on Today politics in Israel, Malaysia, and Britain for example.
I disagree. It's not because of parliamentary system.

There are many factors which may result in many weak governments. Such as
  1. Voting system:
    • Winner-take-all voting systems
    • proportional representation voting systems
  2. How divided the country is, culturally, ethnically, geographically

that's why I like presidential system

Indonesia was still using parliamentary system until 2004 despite the system is quite mixed and we dont have Prime Minister. Yep, parliamentary is weak, we have witness that during 1955-1959 period and 1999-2004 period. Parliamentary system can easily change the PM despite PM hasnt finished their term due to political reasons only (change of power in the parliament). We also have seen this one in 1999-2004 period for Indonesia politics. This is why our parliament change the system and we have the first Presidential election in 2004.

I am with you, but the world media and world powers have called him a dictator throughout his tenure.



Same with Bangladesh, it's definitely not a democracy either but I don't agree with calling it a dictatorship either.
