Blogger reveals another side of Najib

Multi Racial: Desmond Jerukan, I'm sorry that I don't share your enthusiasm. Fifty years of racism, corruption and abuse should not just washed down the drain for a simple tea party with the prime minister.

I would be able to appreciate it if Desmond could share his discovery with us that made him change his perception on Najib Razak. I sincerely hope to get truth about Altantuya Shaariibuu, Teoh Beng Hock and A Kugan.

I want to know why racist parties both political and NGOs are still in existence, why the judiciary is not independent, why the IGP (inspector-general of police) contract was renewed despite our personal security is getting from bad to worse, and many more.

Lim Chong Leong: Being able to have tea and make small talk does not make a person a PM. I can have the same tea session with Desmond and he can find me interesting or nice too. What matters with us all are the truth behind Altantuya, PKFZ (Port Klang Free Zone), Kugan, Teoh Beng Hock, our economy, Perak, the racists in Umno, NEP, poor schooling, poor healthcare... The list goes on and on.

Ferdtan: Just a tea party and Desmond sings like a canary. Have you look at the whole picture of where Malaysia is heading? Well, I guess you have your right to say what you want to say, but for your sake - don't be a laughing stock and a disgrace to all right-thinking Malaysians, including Sarawakians.

By the way, who pays for your airfare to Putrajaya?

Lesungbatu: I personally wrote to the PM's Office but only got a reply from his PA (personal assistant). I wrote something about a request to help some villagers to ease their predicaments on the need of a proper access road to their kampung, clean water supply as well as electricity.

The kampung is located at the end of a plantation owned by Sime Darby. The access road is in very poor condition, and becomes slippery and muddy during the wet season. The villagers have to depend on rainwater and an old ‘perigi' (well), and they have to resort to portable generators to light up their nights.

No action has been taken. Mind you, this had been almost two years since my email to the PM. For your information, the kampung is in Tawau, Sabah - another ‘fixed deposit' state for BN.

Doc: This sounds a bit like Alice in Wonderland here. It looks like Alice (Desmond Jerukan) has been invited to tea by the Mad Hatter (Najib Razak) and the Red Queen (Rosmah Mansor) in Wonderland (Putrajaya).

Ong Guan Sin: It appears that those invited to the tea party were cast a spell, suddenly forgetting the many issues Malaysia faces today, many of them the responsibility of Najib directly.

If Najib is a PM good at having tea with the rakyat, I have nothing else to say. On the other hand, I would like those who attended the tea party share with us any serious discussion that has come out of it. This is our national leadership, not the Hollywood showbiz.

Amaso: Desmond behaves like a kid - Najib gave him some candy and he tells the world how wonderful and kind the PM is. He sees only the trees and forgets the forests.

Kopi O: For Desmond and others who attended the tea party, I have only one timeless wisdom to offer: "When you sit to dine with a ruler, note well what is before you, and put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony. Do not crave his delicacies, for that food is deceptive." (Proverbs 23:1-3)

Maha exhibit not a Hulu S'gor gimmick: Noh

Doc: Noh Omar, who had publicly expressed his true racist nature and ended up putting his foot in his mouth , is trying to make amends by dangling a carrot on the stick and hoping the Hulu Selangor constituents take the bite. Come on, please don't take the rakyat for fools.

Sarawakian: Yeah right, we believe you. Please stop treating us like idiots. Let's see what coincidences they have for the Sibu by-election.

Dood: In Malaysia, there is no such thing as a "coincidence".

M'sia cannot keep building sand castles

Cala: This business of dividing the people into various ethnic groups is purely to facilitate the management of this country as each group has its own needs and wants.

For example, the Chinese community has new village titles to solve, and inadequate classrooms for urban Chinese schools, etc. Uniting the people is something they have not tried for the problems faced as a nation are totally different.

Here are some of them:

i) the increasing gap between the rich and the poor as shown in the Gini coefficient;

ii) general dropping of education standard as shown in the university ranking in Times Higher Education Supplement; and

iii) poor economic outlook, employment opportunities, the drop in foreign direct investments.

The executive can say what they want, this is not the kind of report card that can make any Malay proud (See Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah's speech when he launched a book). They need reinforcement from the non-Malays.
