Mr Prime Minister Najib Razak, please don't be a nincompoop

This is the tweet that our Prime Minister Najib sent out on Friday.

Najib Razak: The Chinese community celebrates the Hungry Ghost Festival this month. Another opportunity to appreciate the diversity of Malaysian culture.

Is that the expression of a man worried man about fading Chinese support, or an ignoramus or just a complete nincompoop?

I am a Malaysian Chinese and this Hungry Ghost Month has nothing to do with me one bit, neither is it a culture or a celebrated festival.

If this tweet is to gain more Chinese support, the PM is surely grasping at the last straw trying to stay afloat. The non-Muslims are always reminded not to talk about Islam because of their limited knowledge. So if we are to follow these sort of classifications, it is also advisable for the Muslims not to talk about other religions if they are not familiar or knowledgeable about them. After all, fair is right, right?

Why is the PM, a Muslim who has no knowledge of non-Muslim religions, trying to preach and talk about the Hungry Ghost Month as though he knows a lot and claiming the Chinese community celebrates the Hungry Ghost Festival.

My advice to the PM, stick to your job description and stop using religion to pursue your agenda.

Maybe, the PM should spend his time and efforts to try and resolved his 1Malaysia New Culture:


This country is turning upside down and the Prime Minister is not doing anything about it.
