YOURSAY | ‘I wonder how is it that you can still show your face around.’
Anonymous_1421806811: We have an extremely thick-skinned PM who has no integrity left, yet he talks as though he is representing the country simply because the boot-polishers supporting him have benefited hugely from their association with him.
If Umno's bigshots, the attorney-general (AG) and inspector-general of police (IGP) are all clueless as to who Malaysian Official 1 (MO1) is when an ordinary man on the street can easily figure it out, it shows they really have not used their mental faculty and are therefore unfit to hold their positions.
It is indeed a shameless act when all the powers are being used to protect an alleged thief when he should be charged and jailed for the rest of eternity.
Hang Babeuf: Utusan Malaysia has the full (edited/polished) transcript of PM Najib Razak's interview with Metro TV in Indonesia. Marvellous!
It has the same fetching character as that plea by the man charged with murdering his parents who sought the court's sympathy on the grounds that he was an orphan. Similar plausibility (or brazenness) is displayed here.
The PM is particularly "good" on the free and thus (for him) exonerating role and work in the 1MDB matter of the PAC/Public Accounts Committee (which he "nobbled" and hobbled, gutted and blocked); the joint task-force (which he had promptly disbanded, sent packing); and of Bank Negara, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (heads soon severed), and of the auditor-general. All so heart-warming.
As for the new national security legislation, he offers Indonesia the advice, when asked, that it is all just fine, above board and "tickety-boo" so long as the courts, not the executive, are in charge of all these processes.
Regardless of the words in the new enactment, perhaps we should now wait, on Najib's definitive Jakarta "say-so", for the chief justice, not he himself as PM, to pre-empt and sideline the Agong with the declaration of a cute little "security zone" somewhere.
When will he dare face a serious interviewer from the major, credible international media? BBC? CNN? Al-Jazeera? ABC? Will he ever? Don't bet on it. Would not look good.
Will he ever "front up"? Don't hold your breath waiting! And when he does, if he were ever to do so, all he needs to do is to answer honestly and clearly, as commenter ‘From Penang’ keeps pointing out, two simple questions:
1) Are you "Malaysian Official 1"?
2) Did the RM2.6 billioin in your personal account came from Tanore Finance Corporation rather than your elusive "Saudi donor"?
With this (Metro TV) interview Najib has answered one of the key cosmological questions of our time: Do parallel universes to our own exist, alongside the reality that we know?
Now it is clear. There is such a parallel universe. Najib lives in it. And it operates upon completely different logical, empirical, moral and ethical principles than our own.
How another universe can exist separate from our own yet impinge upon and intrude into it now becomes the new cosmological conundrum.
GE14Now!: Najib, you have no credibility at all and I wonder how it is that you can still show your face around.
I suppose you have decided that the country's money is your money and so dipping into what you deem to be your own personal account is not stealing.
Rupert16: It’s another big lie that 1MDB is all about business. The fact is that it was allegedly vused by Najib as the vehicle to enrich himself and his family, and as ‘dedak’ (animal feed) for his Umno lackeys.
Of course, he can say whatever he wants about the Department of Justice’s (DOJ's) case but the fact of the matter is that he was implicated as one of the biggest beneficiaries in the alleged plundering of the country's coffers through 1MDB.
Kawak: I think Malaysians should not be bothered with his statements on DOJ, 1MDB and the RM2.6 billion to any news media. The truth is out there!
But the bunch of BN leaders in the cabinet and Umno division leaders are fully responsible for this biggest financial fiasco faced by the country by supporting his leadership.
The ‘dedak’ and ‘bodek’ (apple polishing) culture are too ingrained in the political system.
Iiiizzzziiii: Najib has earned an honourable place in Ripley's Believe It or Not museum for this performance. And he can go all the way to win the Oscars as the best actor of the decade. This will put Malaysia on the world map.
He has made us proud and ashamed at the same time and for that he truly deserves the Oscar and he shall be honoured and remembered as the only PM in the world to have won an Oscar for outstanding performance in real life.
On the light side, we had actors who had become leaders of nations in the past, but in Malaysia we have a leader who turned out to be a great actor.
Vijay47: Najib - that is, prime minister of Malaysia and not Indonesia or Kazakhstan - as one of your ardent admirers, I follow all news items about you, especially the ones mentioning your many abilities and attributes.
Since many of the readers of Malaysiakinimay not be aware of such gifts, I am listing them out for their elucidation, in no particular order:
Youngest member of parliament, first prime minister son of prime minister father, saint or at least a mortal with divine abilities, bosom buddy of Arabs dead or alive, consummate golfer, husband to the nation's First Lady, head of 1MDB, Bugis pirate, stepfather of movie moghul, returner of donations, cousin to a cousin, and the latest as revealed by you yourself, national patriot.
The list would be complete if you only picked up playing the zither. - Mkini
