In Malaysia, we like to keep things simple.
For example, on financial matters, we believe that only one step is needed to place the country into the asphyxiating embrace of financial ruin. I am saying that we have been really unlucky (or lucky – it depends on whose side of the fence you are standing on) that we have this amazing man who willingly stepped into the shoes of the minister of finance.
He is of course, none other than Najib Razak, the prime minister who is also the minister for Women, Family and Community Development. A dullard who deludes himself into thinking he has average intelligence.
Check out his report card on managing the country’s finances!
What can you draw from the above? Only one conclusion. Najib is impoverishing us all!
But given that there are still Malaysians who “love” Najib – they might just disagree with my one-sided view of him and they may even rebuke me for my anti-Najib invective. They might throw these questions at me, such as: “What’s wrong with Najib spending all our money?”; “So what if we are in debt?”; “Why are you always finding fault with Najib?”.
I suppose these Malaysians are not avid readers and so they are probably clueless about the important things that have taken place and/or are taking place in this country. And if they do find out that Najib’s banditry is bankrupting the country, they probably don’t have the scrotal gumption to show their middle finger to him or to UMNO/BN!
Meanwhile, Najib continues to give away money and other freebies to the rakyat as if he owns the treasury. Can anybody argue that he (and not forgetting his wife too) is so good at spending other people’s money? As he himself had said, “he could not imagine doing anything else because he was involved in politics for a long time, since 22 years-old”. What he actually meant is that he is from the privileged class, and any other job is beneath him. And of course, he lacks the skills to do anything that is meaningful.
On Tuesday, I was in KL's Old Klang Road to attend the Elken Toastmasters meeting. I had promised Tan Hok Eng and so he had recommended me as the General Evaluator. This in-house club should do well, especially when Dr Henry Yeoh, the Vice President, Group Human Resources for the Elken Group of Companies demonstrated his support for the club by not only attending meetings – he was present that evening – but he also made the decision to join the club. I would score this meeting a 5 out of a 10. The meeting regretably started 7 minutes late.
