The exuberant claims by the cabinet members of Najib Abdul Razak over his singular and seemingly unsurpassed victory in securing RM144 billion investments from the People’s Republic of China raises very serious concerns.

Has the prime minister of Malaysia abused his position and power?

The question is did he get the consensuses of the citizens before he went to market in China?

Did he consult the local business community leaders before inking RM144 billion projects and what now seems like ‘bailouts’ to Malaysia?

Did he in the first place seek the blessings and agreement of the Members of Parliament and including the Council of Rulers before agreeing to China’s determination to conquer economic dominance?

From some statements that we read in the media, it is quite clear that the PM of Malaysia did not tell anyone let alone seek their viewpoints.

He went there with his family and kin and on government expenditure, too.

He returns and proudly announces that he is the single leader in our history who has surpassed every predecessor in clinching an unprecedented deal with the People’s Republic of China.

Concerned and citizens of knowledge-authority have questioned the rationale of having a government-linked foreign bank in a much stronger position here than our very own financial structures that were groomed over the decades.

Concerned citizens among the working class and their institutions have questioned how much of technology transfer is there going to be if any at all. Already some government-linked companies (GLCs) here who have a business relationship with China have shared their own tales of administrative difficulties with their China-counterpart management teams involved in some projects here.

What now when huge chunks of the business ventures are controlled by a communist nation?

Indeed, the rakyat have to ask their rulers if they are happy with what is happening and if they are just as concerned as their loyal subjects about the future of this nation’s constitutional monarchy.

Indeed, has the prime minister of Malaysia acted independently in a matter and in a manner that has far reaching consequences for this democratic nation? Or is the business community here totally in agreement of with this unilateral securing of RM144 billion 'investment' that now positions China comfortably in so far as its own economic agenda goes to serve in the best interest of its own citizens?
