VATICAN CITY – Evidence is mounting that the pope will soon approve the miracle needed to beatify Pope John Paul II, setting the stage for a major celebration this year for a Catholic Church trying to recover from the clerical sex abuse scandal.

Italian news media have been reporting that in recent weeks Vatican-sponsored panels confirmed that a young French nun was miraculously cured of Parkinson's disease after praying to the Polish-born John Paul.

Pope Benedict XVI now must sign off on the miracle and set a date for the beatification, the first major step to possible sainthood.

The failures of Dr Mahathir Mohamad

In The Star today it was reported that Dr. Mahathir admitted that one of his failures during his 22 years as Prime Minister was his administration's inability to rehabilitate and develope Kampung Baru. What a gracious leader to admit his failures. Well, since the old man started it and since we Malaysians love lists let's continue where he left off.  Come on. Add to his list of failures. Put your contributions in the comments section and I will update them here. Have fun!
He failed to improve the Education system of Secondary and Universities in this country. Actually it became worst! 

He failed to improve the economic status of most Malays in this country. Proton is still crap! Corruption became worst!! Police force is a joke! the only bigger joke in this country is our Courts and Judiciary! 

Boo-hoo-hoo...sniff...sniff...I failed!

He failed to save his son's venture in Konsortium Perkapalan? Oh wait, wait, he did.

The most tragic failure of mahalingam's rule is his failure to commit suicide to spare us his sham tears. Kg Baru would today be developed if his family had been given half the land.

He failed to make Ringgit stronger than Sing dollar. 

With his superb acting ability and ethnic background, this mamak failed to go to Bollywood. He would have made a good kerala clown. 

He failed to develop incentives and a process that would encourage talented Malaysians and Expats to stay and contribute to this country's future, and their counterparts overseas to return. 

I can't contribute to your list of his failures, but I can list some of his
