Thanks to OutSyed The Box (Syed Akbar Ali)

Now i know who this guy with name;

Tommy "Panamera" Thomas


At the end after reading the blog, it can be conclude that;
"The one who condemns the system hardest benefits most from it. And vice versa"


  • After reading Tommy Thomas’s ‘Voting for the Future’ in Malaysian Insider, I am tempted to say to him: Go back to Canada.
  • Born in Malaysia of immigrant parents, Tommy Thomas set up legal practice in Kuala Lumpur in the 1970s.  
  • Malaysia was good for him until the 1980s when he uprooted himself, his family and his extended family and migrated to Canada, looking for greener pastures.
  • Alas, he found that Canada was not the land of milk and honey that he thought it was. Life was tough there.  Not long afterwards, Tommy Thomas packed his suitcase again, and returned to Malaysia where he resumed his legal practice.
  • So, Malaysia was good for him before he left for Canada and Malaysia was still good for him and that’s why he returned. 
  • But now he wants to change what was good, for what is at best, uncertain.  And, if things go wrong, he may run to Canada again.  After all he did it once.  He can do it again.

  • Tommy Thomas had once migrated to Canada.  But then he came back. Did he come back to an oppressive Malaysia?
  • When his father completed his Government service as a technical assistant, he retired as a wealthy person, thanks to his astute financial skills.  Would he have managed to do so if Malaysia had an oppressive government?
  • Tommy Thomas owns two Porsches.  Malaysia was indeed good for him.
  • All three of Tommy Thomas’s children study overseas. He must have a reasonably good income to be able to afford to do so. Malaysia can’t be all bad.
  • Tommy Thomas’s  mother was an assistant professor in University Malaya.  Her skills were given due recognition.
  • Tommy Thomas owns two thoroughbred horses.  That’s like being in the elitist league.
  • Tommy Thomas was convicted on a contempt of court charge in 2001, but his six-month jail term was reduced to a fine.  The judiciary has been kind to him.
  • With all of theses strikes, Tommy Thomas does not look like a man who has been deprived of much in Malaysia, if at all. 
  • All this happened during the regime of the present government which he calls corrupt.
