Sorry is still the hardest word to Tun Dr. Mahathir

In the eyes of Tun, Anwar was being too impatiently ambitious to become Prime Minister; and tried to discredit him with sodomy allegations; and now even slandered him in his book with claims of procuring women for sex. In the process of sacking, Anwar was assaulted by then IGP resulting in the infamous 'black eye', which Tun had the temerity of claiming Anwar could have done it himself to gain sympathy!

Why would a PM use such drastic methods to dismiss his Deputy? With his claims of his deputy's sexual indiscretions, he considered it his duty to spare Malaysia of having a sodomite as PM. Any reasonable person would be tempted to ask, who are you to decide on who should be PM? Isn't that supposed to be left to your party, Umno (by tradition), to decide who should succeed you?

Since the 'black eye' incident, there was never an apology for what happened, and to add salt to injury, a similar sodomy case was planned after 10 years, which most people would presume Tun had at least encouraged it.

Instead of an apology, Tun said he finds it hard to forgive Anwar! http://www.nst.com.my/nst/articles/DrM_It_shardtoforgiveAnwar/Article/

I cannot help but consider him the most vengeful person in Malaysia. Other people in old age would have felt remorseful and at least mellowed to follow the advice: 'Sometimes, it is better to be kind than right.'
