The PMO's Chief Spin People

Folks, you should read this blog :

Their latest post is : PMO's Top Three (Plus One)
 

                                                     Mengampu tangga kejayaan!

While we wait for UMNO MPs to balance the pro's and con's of removing Najib versus trying to "pao" some new contracts, let me share my views on the Top Three people in the Prime Minister's Office.

                         Number One is certainly Dato Seri Ahmad Farid Ridzuan (AFR)

Without AFR's influence, Najib would not have lasted even half into his term. AFR basically controls what the Malays think by exerting influence through the vast Media Prima conglomerate.  Now AFR is an old school media man - he thinks that the blogs and portals are alternative outlets which make a lot of noise but offer nothing tangible.

Even though I myself am a blogger, I have to agree. The tools of the political media channel are Utusan Melayu and TV3.  If there is an earthquake, its not an earthquake until its on TV3.

AFR has also made Najib look younger and healthier than before.

My comments : With the demise of JJ there is a huge realignment of "advisors" to get closer to the Caliph's Chest  (Treasure Box - for those sans PPSMI).  I have met Farid a few times. Post - JJ, Farid has definitely moved closer to the PM.  Farid is nowhere as menacing as he is made out to be. Your regular nice guy with hardly a bad bone in his body.  Unfortunately the other things are largely true.  Utusan's circulation is down by 50%. They have almost no money.  Without cash infusion, they will probably go bust. 

The Media Prima group is not too far behind. Who reads the New Straits Times? Who watches TV3? Even the Felda folks are getting bored.  

                                                    Looks like me, but is not me!

2. Number two is Dato Habibur Rahman.
 

HR, hailing from the great state of Penang combines the best of both Indian and Malay ancestry. The brains and cunnings come from the sub-continent, the name and privelege comes from the straits. HR takes orders from Rosmah and is an expert in being able to balance Najib's passive and weak nature with the aggressive and risk taking Rosmah.

My comments : I would place Habibur Rahman at No. 1++. There must always be a mamak to stir fry the mee mamak.  This guy is hardly seen by people. Even of you search Google you can hardly see his picture. More things can be said about Habibur Rahman but it may invite litigation.  As much as you are watching others, there are people watching you too bro. Keep an eye out ok? 

3. Khairun bin Aseh Che Mat

                              

                                     Number three is the son of Aseh Che Mat (SoACM)
 

SoACM, also going by the name of Khairun, earned his stripes at the Nothing To Hide seminar. Under SoACM's inlfuence, Ali Tinju tried to create a ruckus by gate chrashing the hall. This was later cited by KBAB as the reason why he ordered Najib not to attend. SoACM was also responsible for Muhiyiddin Yassin's ouster as DPM.

My comments :  The PMO is way too big for Najib Razak's otak level.  The boys are below Najib.  

4.  Updated:   I almost forgot the biggest name in the office - Prof Khairul Annas.

Number four, but I think more like number two and a half, is Prof Khairul Annas.

The Gunung Ganang Hutan Banjaran and Najib's Darah speech in Sarawak are my favourite

Prof Khairul was the "other guy" in Saiful's pictures in front of the Prime Minister's Office. He has been Najib's principle speech writer.

I like Prof Khairul because Najib's speeches in Malay is now getting more bizzare. That makes it fun to watch. Najib has also resorted to swearing in his speech - and I am sure Prof Khairul had a big part to play. That makes Najib look more gengster and less like pansy.

Btw, Najib's "Gunung ganang laut kandang"  speech was the most bizzare opening speech ever given by any UMNO President. It was quite funny to watch the three thousand UMNO aristocrats forced to "bersama-sama melaungkan Hidup UMNO sebanyak tiga kali...HIDUP UMNO.".  He outdid himself at the closing speech with the matter on "blogger bangang".

My comments : There is a story involving this guy, Temujin's honorary ambassador, Omar Ong, emmissaries carrying bags and such.   A clue is in the picture above. It has nothing to do with any conspiracy. You can bring AI to the water but how do you force AI to drink? There is no conspiracy.

This guy can hardly write a word in English, yet he is a speech writer for the PM.  Maybe Google Translate comes in handy.

I think it is a grossly "overbought situation" in the PMO's office.

This is the reason why the PM sounds more and more silly and dumb each time he speaks in public.

And I think the PM's speech writers and advisors have made 'flip flopping' and speaking out of the corners of his mouth a trademark of Najib Tun Razak.

You have already seen Najib's flip flop over the tolls in the previous post.

Here is another example :

 

 

To Farid Ridzwan, Khairun Aseh, Khairul Anas and even Habibur Rahman, this is beyond stupid. 

Najib is becoming the No 1 Champion of telling lies. 

Satu hari cakap macam ini, lain hari cakap lain pula.

This is not happening once in a blue moon. It is happening everyday now. As Najib;s speech writers and advisors, you really have to stop this crap from prolonging.
